This 5-ton 4-wheel front pay loader - also known as a wheel loader or payloader on job sites across India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa - is engineered specifically for confined-space loading. Its short 2600–2900 mm wheelbase delivers a class-leading 5250 mm minimum turning radius, while the four-wheel-drive system with 23.5-25 tires provides full traction on loose, muddy or uneven ground.
Powered by a Weichai WD10G220E23 162 kW turbocharged diesel engine, the loader pairs a single-stage four-element dual-turbine torque converter with a planetary power-shift transmission for smooth, reliable power delivery. The single-rocker Z-type reverse working device delivers high breakout force and automatic bucket leveling, while the double-pump confluence hydraulic system cuts fuel consumption by 8–12%.

The wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles. A shorter wheelbase directly translates to a smaller turning radius and superior maneuverability - critical for confined-space operation.
Short Wheelbase (This Pay Loader)2600-2900 mm Min turning radius 5250 mm. Navigates narrow aisles, tight corners, factory yards and farm barns. Faster cycle times in confined stockpile zones. Ideal for municipal, agricultural and indoor work. |
Long Wheelbase (Standard 5-Ton)3200-3350 mm Min turning radius 6000-6400 mm. Higher lateral stability at full load on open ground, but cannot enter narrow lanes or turn in confined spaces. Better suited to open quarries and large construction sites. |
Every subsystem is engineered to maximize productivity in tight spaces without compromising on power.
Class-Leading Maneuverability
2600-2900 mm short wheelbase + ±35° articulation angle delivers a 5250 mm minimum turning radius - sharp turns in narrow lanes, between storage racks and around obstacles where standard 5-ton loaders cannot operate.
Four-Wheel Drive Traction
4WD system with reinforced drive axles and 23.5-25 heavy-duty tires provides full traction on loose soil, mud, gravel and uneven ground - no slippage, no stuck machines, confident loading in any condition.
Single-Rocker Z-Type Linkage
Single-rocker Z-type reverse working device delivers high breakout force (145 kN), high dumping height and automatic bucket leveling - the proven shovel-loader mechanism for aggressive pile penetration.
Energy-Saving Hydraulics
Double-pump confluence with turning priority and unloading system rationally uses engine power and effectively reduces fuel consumption by 8–12% - keeping operating costs low even in stop-and-go tight-space cycles.
Flow-Amplified Steering
Coaxial flow-amplified full-hydraulic steering system provides light, fast and precise turning - critical for the frequent direction changes required in confined-space operation.
Reinforced Compact Structure
Four-plate box-section front frame, reinforced hinge pins and bearings, dust-proof sealed articulation points - compact yet durable enough for heavy-load duty in abrasive environments.
Verified factory parameters. Custom bucket, tire and engine configurations available on request.

★★★★★
"Our municipal road-repair crew in India works in narrow urban lanes where standard 5-ton pay loaders simply cannot turn. This short-wheelbase 4WD loader fits, turns on a dime and still lifts a full 5-ton load. It replaced two older skid steers and tripled our productivity. Best payloader decision we've made."
Rajesh Kumar Public Works Supervisor, MCD, India |
★★★★★
"We run a dairy farm with tight barn aisles and feed lanes. The short wheelbase lets the pay loader navigate between stalls that our old long-wheelbase machine couldn't enter. The 5250mm turning radius is a game-changer for daily feed stockpiling, and the 4WD handles muddy feedlot ground without slipping."
Hendrik van der Berg Farm Owner, Free State, South Africa |
Q: What is a pay loader and how is it different from a wheel loader?
A: A pay loader (or payloader) is simply another name for a wheel loader - the term is still commonly used on job sites in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Both refer to the same machine: a four-wheel, front-mounted-bucket heavy equipment that scoops, lifts and transports loose materials such as sand, gravel, soil, coal and ore. The industry-standard technical name is wheel loader, but pay loader remains widely understood in trade and field operation.
Q: What is the advantage of a short wheelbase pay loader?
A: A short wheelbase (2600-2900 mm) provides a smaller turning radius (as low as 5250 mm), superior maneuverability in confined spaces, easier navigation around obstacles and faster cycle times in tight stockpile aisles, factory yards, farm barns and municipal lanes where long-wheelbase loaders cannot operate efficiently.
Q: What is the rated load and bucket capacity of this 5 ton pay loader?
A: Rated operating load is 5000 kg (5 tons) with a standard bucket capacity of 3 m³. Bucket capacity can be configured from 2.5 to 4.5 m³ depending on material density and bucket type (general purpose, rock, coal or light material).
Q: What engine does this short wheelbase pay loader use?
A: The standard engine is the Weichai WD10G220E23 turbocharged diesel rated at 162 kW (217 hp) at 2000 rpm with max torque ≥745.3 N·m. Optional engines include Shangchai SC11CB220G2B1 and Cummins 6CTA8.3-C215. All comply with Euro II / Tier 2 emission standards.
Q: Is this pay loader four-wheel drive (4WD)?
A: Yes. This pay loader is equipped with four-wheel drive (4WD) - both front and rear axles receive power from the engine through the torque converter and planetary power-shift transmission. Combined with 23.5-25 heavy-duty tires, the 4WD system provides full traction on loose soil, mud, gravel and uneven ground, preventing slippage and stuck machines in demanding conditions.
Q: How does a short wheelbase affect stability?
A: A short wheelbase slightly reduces lateral stability at full load on open, sloped ground compared to a long wheelbase. However, for the confined-space applications this pay loader is designed for (flat factory yards, barn aisles, municipal lanes), stability is more than adequate thanks to the 16500 kg operating weight and 23.5-25 tires. For open-ground heavy quarry work, a long-wheelbase configuration is recommended.
Q: What is the warranty, MOQ and lead time?
A: Standard warranty is 12 months or 2000 working hours, whichever comes first. MOQ is 1 unit. Lead time is 15–25 working days after deposit. One unit is loaded per 40HQ container (bucket and cab removed for transport and reassembled on arrival). FOB, CIF and DDP terms are all supported.
Q: Can I customize the bucket, tires, engine or color?
A: Yes. We offer GP, rock, coal, light-material and log-fork buckets (2.5–5.0 m³), multiple tire options (23.5-25 standard / desert / radial steel / solid), Weichai / Shangchai / Cummins engine, pilot or mechanical control, A/C, and OEM brand color / decals. Optional attachments include floating forks, log grapple, block fork, snow blade and grass fork.
Q: What payment terms do you accept?
A: T/T (30% deposit, 70% before shipment), L/C at sight, Western Union and PayPal (for sample orders) are accepted. Trade Assurance via Alibaba is also supported for buyer protection.
