How much does a 50 loader weigh?
2 Answers
Generally, it is around 16 tons, and with an extended arm, it can reach up to 16.5 tons. Below are the specific details about the related content: Introduction: The ZL50 loader has an approximate self-weight of 17,100 kg. ZL50 is the old designation for a 5-ton loader. Current loaders, such as the LiuGong 856, where the '5' represents 5 tons. The current designations are not entirely uniform, but you can distinguish them by the tires. Generally, the tire specifications for loaders are 23.5-25, which are all 5-ton vehicles. The rated load capacity of a 50-type loader is 5,000 kg, with a bucket capacity of 3 cubic meters. Additional Information: A loader is an earth-moving machine widely used in construction projects such as highways, railways, buildings, hydroelectric projects, ports, and mines. It is mainly used for shoveling and loading loose materials like soil, gravel, lime, and coal. It can also perform light excavation work on ores and hard soil. By replacing different auxiliary work devices, it can also perform tasks like bulldozing, lifting, and loading and unloading materials such as wood.
As someone who has operated loaders on construction sites for over a decade, I'd say a typical 50-type loader generally weighs between 16 to 18 tons, which is approximately 16,000 kilograms. Its weight directly affects stability - it's less prone to tipping even on slopes, but you need to pay attention to the turning radius in confined spaces. I've encountered several instances where different configurations caused weight variations, such as models with additional attachments being 1-2 tons heavier with higher fuel consumption. Special trailers are required for transportation, and overweight conditions need proper permits. Beginners should practice with lighter loads first to avoid losing control due to inertia and damaging equipment. In conclusion, weight is crucial for safety - it's always wise to check specific parameters with manufacturers before purchasing.
