z
Work together with a truck which can help improve working efficiency especially for long
distance transportation.
z
When working together, the loader digs the material and
the truck transports and unloads the material:
There are generally two loading and unloading ways:
z
Cross Load:
The loader faces the material, then it moves backward
after digging a full load and lets the auto-unload truck
move into the position between material and the loader. This method costs the minimum time and
can reduce the cycle time most effectively.
z
“V” Shape Load:
The auto-unload truck is fixed and forms almost a
60°angle with the backward direction of the loader.
After digging, the loader moves backward and turns
the designated degree and moves forward to the
truck.
The smaller the loader work angle is, the more
efficient the work is.

Digging Operation
Digging Piled Soil or Blasted Rock
When digging piled soil or blasted rock, the loader should
face the material and do as follows:
z
If the bucket must be lowered while driving the machine
forward, stop the machine when the bucket is about 30cm
above from the ground, and then lower it slowly.
If the bucket hits the ground, the front tires will leave the
ground and the tires will slip.
z
The operator must slow the speed immediately when the
machine reaches the material pile. Simultaneously step on
the accelerator pedal, and enter the material pile with the
bucket.
z
Keep the bucket horizontal when loading the stockpile,
but keep the dumping angle down when loading the
