Performance duel between multi-function slip loader and ordinary loader

In the field of construction machinery, multifunctional slip loaders and ordinary loaders are common equipment for material handling and engineering operations. However, due to the differences in design concepts and application scenarios, the two have significant differences in performance. In-depth understanding of these performance differences is of great significance for construction units and enterprises to make correct decisions when selecting equipment. Next, let's carry out the performance duel between the multi-function slip loader and the ordinary loader through multi-dimensional comparison.

First, work efficiency competition

(1) Operation speed comparison

Ordinary loaders usually have a large body and a strong power system, and their speed advantages are obvious in long-distance material handling scenarios. For example, in the coal handling operation of a large open-pit coal mine, the ordinary loader can quickly shuttle between the coal pile and the transport vehicle with a high speed, and efficiently complete the loading and transportation task. Generally speaking, the speed of ordinary loaders can reach about 30-40 kilometers per hour.

The multi-function slip loader, although the overall speed is not as good as the ordinary loader, but its working cycle speed in specific operating scenarios is not inferior. The multi-function slip loader uses a unique four-wheel independent drive and compact body design, and the steering is flexible, which can quickly complete the shoveling, handling and unloading of materials in a small space. Taking the garbage cleaning operation in indoor decoration as an example, the multi-functional slip loader can quickly turn in the room, close to the garbage accumulation, and quickly go to the garbage transport vehicle for unloading after the completion of the shovel loading, and the entire operation cycle time is short, effectively improving the amount of work per unit time, reflecting the "multi-functional slip loader operating efficiency advantage in a small space".

(2) Differences in loading and unloading efficiency

The bucket capacity of ordinary loaders is larger and more materials can be loaded at one time, which has obvious advantages in large-scale material handling operations. For example, in the sand handling operations in large ports, the bucket capacity of large ordinary loaders can reach 5-8 cubic meters, and a shovel can load a large amount of sand and gravel, and with large transport vehicles, it can quickly complete the loading and unloading tasks, greatly shortening the working time and improving the overall loading and unloading efficiency, which is "the efficiency of ordinary loaders in large-scale material handling."

Although the bucket capacity of the multifunctional slip loader is relatively small, generally between 0.5-2 cubic meters, it can quickly change different types of working equipment. When carrying out work with different materials or different operational requirements, such as switching from shoveling soil to handling bricks, the multi-function slip loader can complete the fittings change in a few minutes, and quickly adapt to the new task, while the ordinary loader replacement of fittings is relatively complex and time-consuming. This feature of rapid replacement of fittings enables the multi-function slip loader to maintain a high loading and unloading efficiency in the scenario of multiple material alternating operations, showing "the efficiency of the multi-function slip loader in the multi-material operation due to the rapid replacement of fittings."

Second, the contest of operational flexibility

(1) Steering performance comparison

Ordinary loaders mostly adopt the traditional front-wheel steering mode, and the turning radius is large. In some construction sites with limited space, such as small construction projects on narrow streets, the steering operation of ordinary loaders will be greatly limited, requiring a larger space to complete the steering action, and sometimes even requiring multiple adjustments to the position of the body to achieve steering, which undoubtedly reduces the flexibility and efficiency of the operation, highlighting the "limitations of ordinary loaders in narrow space steering".

The multi-function slip loader is known for its excellent steering performance. It mainly uses four-wheel independent drive and articulated steering system, which can realize 360 degree rotation in place and minimal radius steering. In the municipal pipeline construction in the city, the working space is often very narrow, multi-functional slip loader with its flexible steering performance, can easily shuttle between various obstacles, quickly reach the designated working position, and efficiently complete the excavation, handling and other work, fully demonstrating the "multi-functional slip loader in the narrow space of the super steering flexibility."

(2) Through sex comparison

The large body and relatively fixed structure of ordinary loaders face challenges when passing through some complex terrain or narrow channels. For example, when material handling is carried out in the mountain orchard, the road in the orchard is rugged and narrow, and the ordinary loader is difficult to pass smoothly, which may cause damage to the fruit tree, and it is also easy to fall into the muddy or rugged ground, affecting the normal operation, which reflects the "lack of ordinary loader in complex terrain."

The multi-function slip loader has a compact body, low chassis and flexible tires. It can easily pass through some narrow channels and low obstacles, such as in the renovation project of the old community, the road in the community is narrow and there are various obstacles, the multi-function slip loader can move flexibly in the middle, the building materials are transported to the designated place, showing good passability, becoming "the embodiment of the advantages of the multi-function slip loader in the complex environment."

Third, the power and load capacity of the confrontation

(1) Power system comparison

Ordinary loaders are usually equipped with high-power engines to meet their power needs in large-scale material handling and harsh working conditions. For example, in large mining operations, in the face of hard ore and a large number of material handling tasks, the engine power of the ordinary loader can reach 100-300 kilowatts, and the powerful power output enables the loader to shovel and move heavy ore easily, ensuring the efficient operation. This reflects "the powerful power advantage of ordinary loaders in heavy duty operations".

Although the engine power is relatively small, generally between 20-80 kilowatts, it uses advanced power transmission and hydraulic system technology to efficiently distribute limited power to various working devices. In some light material handling and fine work scenarios, such as soil handling and small stone installation in landscape engineering, the multi-function slip loader can accurately control the action of the working device by virtue of its efficient power transmission system, and complete various detailed tasks, showing "the power application advantages of multi-function slip loader in light and fine work".

(2) Load capacity differences

Ordinary loaders are designed to cope with heavy duty operations, and their structure is strong and can withstand large loads. The rated load of large ordinary loaders can reach 10-15 tons or even higher, and in large infrastructure construction projects, such as the subgrade filling project of highways, ordinary loaders can easily load and transport a large number of earth and stone materials, which is "an important support for the heavy load capacity of ordinary loaders in large projects".

The load capacity of the multi-functional slip loader is relatively low, and the general rated load is about 1-3 tons. However, this does not affect its efficient operation in its field of application. In small construction sites, interior decoration and other scenarios, the weight of the material transported is usually within its load capacity, and the multi-function slip loader can efficiently complete the material handling task by relying on its flexible operating performance, meeting the "actual demand for the load capacity of the multi-function slip loader in small engineering scenarios".

4. Comparison of ability to adapt to working conditions

(1) Adaptability to harsh environments

Ordinary loaders have certain advantages in adapting to harsh environments. In high temperature desert mining operations, the engine cooling system and heat dissipation performance of ordinary loaders are specially designed to ensure normal operation in high temperature environment. At the same time, its sturdy body and protective devices can resist the erosion of wind and sand, ensuring the reliability and durability of the equipment, reflecting the "adaptability of ordinary loaders in high temperature and harsh environments."

In the cold northern winter, ordinary loaders can be equipped with low-temperature starting devices and thermal facilities, so that the equipment can also start smoothly and work normally in a low-temperature environment. In extremely cold open-pit coal mining, ordinary loaders can continue to operate, providing strong support for coal production, showing "the stability of ordinary loaders in cold and harsh environments."

Multi-function slip loaders also have their own unique features in harsh environment adaptation. In wet and muddy construction sites, such as muddy sites in urban drainage pipeline construction, the tire design of multi-function slip loader has good anti-skid performance, and its chassis is high, which is not easy to fall into mud. At the same time, its electrical and hydraulic systems are waterproof and can operate stably in wet environments, which is "the adaptability of the multi-functional slip loader in wet and muddy environments."

(2) Adaptability to different operation scenarios

Ordinary loaders are more suitable for large-scale, high-strength material handling operation scenarios, such as large ports, mines, large construction sites, etc. In these scenarios, its powerful power, large load capacity and high operating speed can give full play to its advantages, improve operating efficiency and reduce costs, and become a strong proof of the irreplaceable position of ordinary loaders in large-scale material handling scenarios.

Multi-function slip loaders perform well in small work sites, confined Spaces, and scenarios where multiple job functions are required to switch. For example, in small urban maintenance projects, interior decoration, garden landscape maintenance and other scenes, its flexible steering performance, rapid replacement of accessories and small body, so that it can efficiently complete a variety of complex tasks, to meet the "small complex work scenes for the specific needs of multi-function slip loader".

In summary, the multi-function slip loader and the ordinary loader have their own advantages in performance. When selecting equipment, construction units and enterprises should comprehensively consider the performance characteristics of the two according to the specific operational needs, working conditions and budget factors, and make the choice that is most suitable for their own development, so that the equipment can exert the maximum efficiency in the engineering operation.
