Wheel loaders as miniature models – Versatile construction machines for construction, agriculture and industry

A wheel loader is a flexible and powerful construction machine used for lifting, transporting, and loading materials such as earth, gravel, sand, or rubble. With its robust construction, large front bucket, and maneuverability, the wheel loader has become an indispensable part of modern construction sites, storage areas, and farms.
