Wheel shovel loader with short wheelbase for mining
Built for tight spaces. This 5-ton wheel shovel loader features a short 2600–2900 mm wheelbase and a class-leading 5250 mm minimum turning radius - navigating narrow stockpile aisles, factory yards, farm barns and municipal lanes where long-wheelbase loaders simply cannot go. Powered by a Weichai 162 kW turbocharged engine with double-rocker Z-type linkage and coaxial flow-amplified steering.

Not every job site has room for a long-wheelbase loader. This short-wheelbase wheel shovel loader is engineered specifically for confined-space loading - combining the power and bucket capacity of a full 5-ton loader with a compact 2600–2900 mm wheelbase that delivers a class-leading 5250 mm minimum turning radius. Where stockpile aisles are narrow, factory yards are crowded, farm barns are tight or municipal lanes are restricted, this loader keeps working while bigger machines sit idle.
Powered by a Weichai WD10G220E23 162 kW turbocharged 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 high dumping height, while the coaxial flow-amplified steering system makes every turn light, fast and precise.

Why a Short Wheelbase Matters
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 classic shovel-loader mechanism for aggressive pile penetration.
Coaxial flow-amplified full-hydraulic steering system provides light, fast and precise turning - critical for the frequent direction changes required in confined-space operation.
Energy-Saving Hydraulics
Double-pump confluence with turning priority and unloading system rationally uses engine power and effectively reduces fuel consumption - keeping operating costs low even in stop-and-go tight-space cycles.
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.
Safety & Comfort Cab
Sound-proof, heat-proof, shock-absorbing ROPS & FOPS cab with spacious operating space, broad view, adjustable seat and A/C. Four-wheel dual-line disc braking for safe operation in tight quarters.
Verified factory parameters. Custom bucket, tire and engine configurations available on request.

★★★★★
"Our municipal road-repair crew works in narrow urban lanes where standard 5-ton loaders simply cannot turn. This short-wheelbase loader fits, turns on a dime and still lifts a full 5-ton load. It replaced two older skid steers and tripled our productivity."
Marco Rossi
Public Works Supervisor, Comune di Bergamo, Italy
★★★★★
"We run a dairy farm with tight barn aisles and feed lanes. The short wheelbase lets the 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."
