Design features and purpose of front loaders

   The front loader is a universal mechanism in the form of a bucket on a boom. The bucket is filled as the wheelbase moves forward, and emptied by tipping. The scope of application of products of this group is cleaning areas from snow and debris, earthworks, moving soil, loading packaged products, etc.

   Structurally, a front-end loader is a chassis with a boom that is driven by a hydraulic drive. A bucket or other attachment is placed at the end of the boom, which is selected taking into account the nature and scope of the work to be performed. Depending on the type of chassis, there are:

•   wheeled models on a rigid frame;

•   wheeled devices on a movable hinged base;

•   tracked vehicles.

   According to numerous customer reviews, wheeled models on articulated chassis are considered the most convenient to operate, demonstrating maneuverability and flexibility in the control process.

   Depending on the weight and dimensions, the MTZ Kun can be produced in mini format, as small equipment, as well as within the standards of medium and large equipment. A wide range of power, carrying capacity and tare weight allows us to conditionally divide the models into mining, construction, universal, etc.
