Why do loaders are often used instead of bulldozers in China?
Observation of domestic and foreign construction site construction site, we can find some differences, is the engineering machinery and equipment in China is single, including excavators and loaders, graders and bulldozers are relatively rare. In the developed countries, various kinds of machinery and equipment are more diversified. Why does this difference happen?
The main function of bulldozer (bulldozer) is to move the earth or stone or smooth the soil without lifting the earth and stone; the main function of the loader (loader) is to lift the earth and stone to carry it or to put it on the truck. In many domestic construction sites, no lifting work is often completed by loaders. Because loaders often use wheels instead of tracks, they often suffer from insufficient grip. So why don't they use bulldozers on these occasions?
Indeed, the industry specializing in surgery. If you go to Japan, Europe and the United States and other developed countries construction site, you can intuitively feel the diversification of machinery, including the diversification of the genus. All kinds of machines include grader, bulldozer, skid loader, excavator, loader, bulldozer, aerial work vehicle, fork loading and so on.
Including these equipment will change the different tooling according to different conditions to improve efficiency. In China, it is basically a large number of alternative use of excavators and loaders, including the ground leveling, the use of loaders without flat machines.
Of course, there are many reasons, most of which are cost considerations, which include direct costs and replacement costs.
The direct cost is well understood. Loaders are the earliest engineering machinery products to assist China in the United States and Japan, and the domestic manufacturers make a lot of production to make the purchase cost low. In this way, the domestic construction machinery leasing companies, construction companies, self-employed hands have a large number of loaders available, natural wages are low.
The substitution cost can be understood as the tendency of the machine hand to complete the operation with the familiar machine. When the other equipment is replaced, the machine hand is hard to find, and the cost will rise naturally. In addition, the loader is more flexible, site applicability is strong, this should be the most important reason.
Generally speaking, it is caused by different national conditions.
