Loading is dumping the handling material onto a truck or into
a hopper. Loading work is performed in either the load and
carrying method or loader and dump truck method. Select
either method depending on the work site conditions while
taking the merits in cost and safety into account.
A wheel loader performs work process of loading, carrying,
and dumping in sequence. Generally, when the carrying dis
-
tance is 30 to 100 m, this method is employed. Make an up-
grade slope of approx. 3 ° around a hopper when dumping
into the hopper. Be sure to provide a level area 10 m apart
from the dumping port and tire stopper (1) at the dumping
port edge. Automatic reduction in travel speed will assist
operator’s braking operation effort.
