The Impact of Smart Wheel Loaders on Heavy Machinery
High Productivity And Efficient Fuel Use
The deep system integration of the CVT powertrain, engine, and hydraulic and cooling systems in smart wheel loaders results in significantly increased performance and fuel efficiency. Without the torque converter of mechanical drive systems, the loaders independently control engine revs per minute and machine speed to provide efficient digging, fine control, and operation.
The CVT design provides operators with smooth, rapid acceleration and high speeds on grades. Speed-hold and anti-rollback features improve machine maneuverability on the gradients. Advanced rim pull control helps to prevent tire wear by providing optimal loading efficiency in the pile. Besides saving fuel, the lower-rated engine speed minimizes component wear and produces for quieter operation.
Reduce Maintenance Cost
The design itself increases maintenance intervals to 1000 hours and reduces the 500-hour service intervals. This means that the loaders spend more time on the job, while an integrated optional Auto-lube reduces daily maintenance and extends component service life.
Security And Comfort For The Next Generation
The next-generation ride control acts as a shock absorber to improve ride quality over uneven terrain, which is standard on the new loaders. The cab contains noise suppression, seals, and viscous mounts to create a quieter working environment. A large door that opens remotely from the ground, as well as sloping steps, improve cab access and egress.
The loaders’ new dashboard and high-resolution touchscreen display are designed to provide intuitive and user-friendly control, and multiple air suspension seat options include heating or heating and ventilation to provide greater comfort. The new range of wheel loaders is also built with safety in mind, with enhanced features such as standard monitored seat belts with an optional exterior beacon, and a cab windshield that extends from floor to ceiling to improve visibility. A detection radar to notify operators of risks and a 360° multi-view vision system are alternatives that provide an additional degree of monitoring around the loaders to improve safety.
Overall, a smart wheel loader can improve efficiency by providing operators with more advanced control systems, utilizing machine learning to optimize performance, and leveraging sensors and telematics to identify inefficiencies and optimize performance.
