5 APPLICATIONS<br />
Electric drive wheel loaders have slightly<br />
lower breakout forces than hydraulic<br />
excavators, and they do not have an option to<br />
act as a back hoe.<br />
Electric drive wheel loaders are used<br />
around the world as primary loading tools in<br />
high production mines, covering iron, copper<br />
and gold ore, as well as in hard overburden<br />
and coal removal applications.<br />
The flexibility that a wheel loader offers,<br />
makes them ideal for selective mining and<br />
blending operations.<br />
6 CONCLUSIONS<br />
Electric drive wheel loaders make use of<br />
technology to provide more economic and<br />
reliable production. Capital costs should be<br />
considered against the operational costs,<br />
specifically fuel consumption, and the<br />
productivity potentials for the equipment. An<br />
electric drive wheel loader, 5m³ larger than a<br />
hydraulic excavator can provide the same<br />
production as that hydraulic excavator, at a<br />
lower cost, and provide a fully flexible<br />
primary loading tool.<br />
