Engine Specifications and Heavy Articulated Chassis
The Hindustan Wheel Loader is powered by a high-torque 6-cylinder direct-injection turbocharged diesel engine delivering 125 HP to 140 HP output.
An articulated two-piece chassis joined by heavy-duty center-pivot steering pins allows the machine to turn sharply in confined warehouse yards and terminal grain elevators.
- Engine power: 125 HP to 140 HP 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine engineered for high fuel efficiency
- Chassis articulation: Center-pivot hydraulic steering delivering agile turning in tight warehouse bays
- Transmission: Heavy-duty powershift transmission offering 4 forward and 3 reverse speeds
- Axles and brakes: Heavy-duty planetary drive axles with sealed all-wheel hydraulic disc brakes
Bucket Capacity and Bulk Commodity Handling
Fitted with large-capacity general-purpose or light-material buckets ranging from 1.7 to 2.5 cubic meters, the loader scoops and lifts bulk commodities effortlessly.
High dump clearances and extended reach allow the loader to discharge bulk grain, fertilizer, or crushed sugarcane bagasse over the high sidewalls of multi-axle freight trucks.
- Bucket volume: 1.7 to 2.5 m3 capacity with high-strength wear-resistant cutting edges
- Dump clearance: High hinge pin and dump height clearing high-sided commercial tippers and railway wagons
- Hydraulic cycle time: Fast raise, dump, and lower hydraulic cycle times (under 10 seconds total cycle)
- Z-bar linkage: Heavy-duty Z-bar boom geometry delivering maximum hydraulic breakout force
Agro-Industrial and Mandi Logistics Applications
In the agribusiness logistics sector, the Hindustan wheel loader is widely deployed across grain mandis, fertilizer railheads, and sugar mills.
Key duties include bulk grain shoveling in procurement yards, loading loose agricultural biomass for power plants, and moving chemical fertilizers in storage godowns.
- APMC Terminal Mandis: Bulk handling and truck-loading of loose wheat, paddy, and yellow corn
- Fertilizer depots: Handling bulk raw materials (rock phosphate, potash) in blending plants
- Sugar mills: Loading sugarcane bagasse into biomass boiler conveyor hoppers
- Maintenance and support: Backed by Caterpillar India and authorized dealer service networks
