Telescopic loader is a multifunctional, efficient and flexible construction machinery. Its functions and characteristics are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
### 1. Function
1. **Material loading and unloading**
- **Construction site**: At the construction site, the telescopic loader can quickly move building materials such as sand, cement, bricks, steel, etc. For example, in a concrete mixing station, it can load sand and gravel from the yard into the mixer for mixing, which greatly improves efficiency and reduces labor costs and labor intensity compared to traditional manual handling.
- **Port terminal**: At the port, it can be used to load and unload bulk goods such as coal, ore, and grain. Its long telescopic arm can reach the inside of the cabin, unload the goods from the ship and stack them at the designated location of the terminal, or load the goods on the terminal onto the ship, improving the speed and efficiency of cargo loading and unloading and speeding up the turnover of the ship.
- **Logistics warehouse**: In large logistics warehouses, it is used to carry various packaged goods, such as cartons, parcels, containers, etc. It can flexibly shuttle between narrow aisles and shelves, accurately loading and unloading goods to the appropriate position on the transport vehicle or shelf.
2. **Excavation operation**
- **Foundation engineering**: In foundation engineering such as road construction, pipeline laying, foundation excavation, etc., the excavation end of the telescopic arm loader can replace different excavation buckets to carry out earth excavation work. For example, when digging small ditches, it can work in a narrow space, and the excavation depth and width can be flexibly adjusted to meet the requirements of the project.
- **Agricultural field**: In agricultural projects such as farmland water conservancy construction and land leveling, shallow excavation of the land can be carried out, such as digging drainage ditches and irrigation channels, etc., and obstacles such as stones and tree roots in the farmland can be cleared to create good conditions for agricultural production.
3. **Site leveling and obstacle removal**
- **Construction site**: At the construction site, the bucket at the loading end can be used to perform preliminary leveling of the site and remove debris, construction waste, etc. in the site. At the same time, during the construction process, if you encounter some small mounds or potholes, you can also use the telescopic arm loader for simple filling or excavation operations to provide a relatively flat working surface for subsequent construction.
- **Road maintenance**: In highway maintenance work, small potholes, snow, scattered debris, etc. on the road can be cleaned and leveled in time to ensure the smooth and safe road. Especially in the maintenance of some mountainous or rural roads, its flexibility advantage is more obvious.
4. **Lifting operation**
- **Light component lifting**: After being equipped with corresponding lifting equipment, the telescopic arm loader can lift some light building materials or equipment, such as prefabricated panels, small steel beams, simple shed components, etc. When the lifting height and distance are not particularly large, it can replace small cranes to a certain extent, and can better control the lifting position and angle during the operation, improving the accuracy and safety of the lifting.
### 2. Features
1. **Compact structure**
- **Small overall size**: Compared with large loaders and excavators, telescopic arm loaders are smaller in size and more compact in overall size. This allows it to operate flexibly in narrow working spaces, such as construction sites on urban streets, interior decoration sites, garden landscape areas and other places with limited space, where it can easily enter and carry out loading and unloading or excavation operations without being restricted by its large size.
- **Reasonable component layout**: The layout between the various components has been carefully designed, and the position arrangement of the engine, hydraulic system, control room and other components makes the center of gravity distribution of the whole machine more reasonable. This layout not only helps to improve the stability of the machine and reduce the risk of rollover caused by unstable center of gravity during operation, but also makes the various components easy to access during repair and maintenance, which is convenient for technicians to inspect and repair.
2. **High flexibility**
- **Telescopic arm can move in multiple directions**: The telescopic arm is one of its most notable features. It can perform telescopic movements in multiple directions, generally including the extension and contraction of the large and small arms, and the rotation of the wrist. This multi-directional movement capability allows the loader to operate at different heights, angles and positions. For example, when it is necessary to unload goods from a higher position, the telescopic arm can be extended and adjusted to a suitable angle for unloading; when working in a narrow passage, the length and angle of the telescopic arm can be adjusted to avoid obstacles.
- **Flexible steering**: The rear axle has a swing function, which makes the turning radius of the telescopic arm loader very small. In some operating environments that require frequent turning in narrow places, such as moving goods in a warehouse, shuttling in a crowded construction site, etc., it can easily complete the turning operation, and even make a 360-degree turn on the spot, greatly improving the maneuverability and flexibility of the operation.
3. **Easy to operate**
- **Humanized cab design**: The cab usually adopts an ergonomic design, comfortable seats, reasonable layout of the control panel, and various operating handles and buttons are within easy reach of the driver. The driver can operate in a comfortable environment and reduce fatigue from long-term work. At the same time, the cab is equipped with a clear vision system, including front windows, rearview mirrors and side mirrors, etc., to ensure that the driver can observe the surrounding environment well during the operation and improve the safety of the operation.
- **Easy to learn**: The operation of the telescopic arm loader is relatively simple, and it can be operated without complex training. Generally speaking, the basic actions such as the walking of the loader, the movement of the telescopic arm, and the lifting and lowering of the bucket or digging bucket can be controlled through several main operating handles. For some people who do not have much experience in operating construction machinery, they can also master its operation methods in a short time, which reduces the operating threshold.
4. **Diverse functions**
- **Multiple accessories optional**: By replacing different working accessories, the telescopic arm loader can achieve multiple functions. In addition to the common bucket, it can also be equipped with digging buckets, hooks, wood grabbers, forks and other accessories. For example, when wood needs to be transported, a wood grabber attachment can be installed; when pallet cargo needs to be transported, it can be replaced with a fork attachment. This versatility allows a telescopic arm loader to play a role in different operating scenarios, improving the utilization rate of the equipment.
- **Adaptable to different working conditions**: Whether on flat roads or in complex terrains such as rugged mountains and muddy fields, telescopic arm loaders can operate normally with their good off-road performance and adaptability. Its tires or tracks have good grip and can travel stably under different ground conditions, and its hydraulic system can provide sufficient power according to different working conditions to ensure smooth operation.
