Overturning of Articulated Steer Wheel Loader at Quick Turning

The Analysis of Wheel Loader Diesel Engine Crankshaft Failure

The main purpose of this study is to review the cause for the crankshaft failure of six-cylinder diesel engine of a wheel loader after passing a short period of time. The failure had occurred after 4800 hours of in-service in the fifth crankpin of the crankshaft. Hardness and tensile tests were carried out to study their mechanical properties. Spectrophotometer machine was used to examine the c...

Turning Efficiency Prediction for Skid Steer Robots Using Single Wheel Testing

To date, most field robots use wheels as their means of locomotion (especially true of planetary exploration robots). In many cases these robots are required to travel significant distances, with limited power, and over rough terrain. All of which make wheels a major component contributing to their performance. It is through experimentation and iteration that effective wheel design, for a given...

Optimal Predictive Control of Wheel Loader Transmissions

The transmissions of present heavy wheel loaders are in general based on torque converters. The characteristics of this component suits these machines, especially in that it enables thrust from zero vehicle speed without risk of stalling the engine, without active control. Unfortunately, the component also causes losses which might become large compared to the transmitted power. One approach fo...

Introduction of Product Introduction of Large Wheel Loader WA600-6

Since it was introduced to its market in 1995, the WA600-3 has won a high reputation among users in various fields. However, more than ten years have passed since the last model changes and a review has become necessary reflecting changes in user needs and model changes of competing machines. Activities have been undertaken to meet social regulations such as Tier-3 exhaust gas regulation to be ...
