Wheel Loader or Underground LHD?

Different tasks — fundamentally different classes of equipment

Hitachi ZW Series

Wheel Loaders

Versatile surface equipment for open-pit and construction operations: quarries, building sites, transfer yards. High travel speed, manoeuvrability, wide choice of attachments — from standard bucket to forks and grapple.

  • Quarries and open-pit mining operations
  • Construction sites and stockyards
  • Loading crushed stone, sand and rock into dump trucks
  • Manoeuvrability in restricted areas
  • Wide choice of attachments

Epiroc Scooptram

Underground LHD

Load-Haul-Dump (LHD) machines for underground mine workings. They scoop blasted ore at the face and transport it to the nearest ore pass or to an underground dump truck. Low profile for working in confined drift space.

  • Underground mining — loading from the face
  • Ore haulage within the level
  • Joint operation with underground dump trucks
  • Electric versions with zero emissions

How to Choose a Wheel Loader

Parameters that determine model selection

Payload & Bucket Capacity

Depends on the material type and bulk density, required shift output and haulage distance.

Site Conditions

Hard surface or ground, working area dimensions, gradients, turning requirements — all affect the choice of machine class and configuration.

Haul Distance & Travel Speed

If material needs to be carried more than 50–80 m, consider a loader + dump truck combination instead of a single loader doing all the work.

Material Type

Loose soil, crushed rock, large-lump blasted material — each type requires a different bucket shape and structural reinforcement.

Required Output

Daily tonnage requirements determine the necessary size class and operating scheme.

Loader and Dump Truck — a Production Pair

At high volumes, the loader works in tandem with a dump truck — this increases output and reduces machine wear

01
Loader
Scoops material and loads it into the dump truck. Works on a short cycle at the stockpile or face.
›
02
Truck Loading
A few bucket passes fill the truck. The truck departs, the next one is already waiting — no idle time.
›
03
Haulage
The dump truck delivers material to the stockpile, crusher or waste dump. The loader continues working at the source.
›
04
Discharge & Return
The dump truck returns for the next load. The cycle repeats — the system operates at maximum availability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Loaders

Answers to common questions when selecting equipment

What is the difference between a wheel loader and an underground LHD?
A wheel loader is surface equipment for open-pit and above-ground operations. An LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) is specialised underground equipment with a low profile for working in drifts and tunnels. They are fundamentally different classes of machine for different conditions.
What is a Hitachi wheel loader used for?
Hitachi ZW loaders are used for surface operations: loading material into dump trucks, open-pit mining, construction sites and stockyards. A wide choice of attachments — from standard bucket to forks and grapple — extends the range of applications.
What is an LHD and how does it work underground?
An LHD scoops blasted ore at the face and delivers it to an ore pass or an underground truck. Its low profile and articulated frame allow it to work in tight drifts.
How do I choose the right bucket size?
Bucket size is selected based on material bulk density and the required shift output. An oversized bucket for light material causes overloading; an undersized one reduces efficiency. A Wayland Armenia engineer will calculate the optimal size for your material type and operating pattern.
Is loader servicing available in Armenia?
Yes. Wayland Armenia is the authorised service partner for Hitachi and Epiroc. Field service 24/7, spare parts warehouse in Yerevan, 11 certified engineers.
Can a loader be purchased on a leasing arrangement?
Yes. Financing for up to 60 months through Armenian leasing companies. We include the calculation in the commercial proposal.
