Let’s be real: The bigger the machine, the more people like them. Bigger is better, right? If you were to talk to a layman, they would likely identify the biggest machines, like cranes and excavators, off the top of their head. It’s through no fault of the machine, of course – they were created for big jobs which require specific design elements to achieve maximum performance. But that doesn’t interest you. You want to know about the smaller machines that do the grunt work. In that case, meet SANY’s wheel loaders, the SW305K and SW405K.
SANY’s wheel loaders are like the connective tissue of any jobsite, suited to a variety of jobs and environments. Sure, they might not be the biggest machines with the flashiest jobs, but not everyone can be the quarterback, right? The bigger machines need help to finish their jobs, too, and their support might come in the form of a wheel loader.
First of all, what is a wheel loader? Its main feature is its front-loader bucket and the breakout force therein. The SW305K and SW405K are able to scoop between 3 and 4.2 cubic yards of material respectively – that’s between 605 and 848 gallons in volume – and have between 27,000 and 40,000 pounds of breakout force. Wheel loaders also use tires instead of tracks, giving them extra traction and maneuverability, with a tight turning radius to boot. The SW305K and SW405K both measure around 7’ in width for added agility.
On the jobsite, these features really come in handy. The bucket size and breakout force give the wheel loader exceptional strength and dexterity to move loads quickly and easily, and the rubber wheels give them added maneuverability to zip around bigger machines, deposit its loads and get back in without much fuss. Their self-leveling bucket also keeps loads steady to prevent spillage. If you want to change attachments, their coupler plumbing makes for easy switching. Our wheel loaders also have remarkable durability: The SW405K has a service life of up to 10,000 hours. With their tires, wheel loaders don’t need to be hauled anywhere – they’re road-ready from the jump. When you need a jobsite workhorse, the wheel loader won’t let you down.
But the features aren’t limited to its technical stats. The SW305K and SW405K’s operator experience is excellent. Both models feature ride control and automatic kickdown, ensuring a smooth ride that won’t wear down the transmission. In the cab itself, the single joystick controls make for easy operation, while the unobstructed view of the bucket makes sure that operators can see what they’re doing. In the SW305K, this also includes a standard 360° view camera for added visibility.
SANY’s wheel loaders are the reliable smaller machines that every jobsite needs. Are they the biggest machine with the biggest jobs? No – and that’s the beauty of the SW305K and SW405K. They are the unsung heroes of the jobsite, keeping things running like a well-oiled machine, with high productivity and low downtime.
