How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for wheel loaders based on the model, operating hours, and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable source)
About Wheel Loaders
Wheel loaders are versatile heavy equipment used for loading, transporting, and moving materials such as soil, gravel, or construction debris. Fuel consumption varies by machine size, load, and work conditions.
- Small Loader: Compact design for light-duty work and tight spaces.
- Medium Loader: Balanced performance for most construction and quarry operations.
- Large Loader: High-capacity machine for heavy-duty industrial tasks.
Tips for Efficient Operation:
- Operate at optimal engine RPM for fuel efficiency.
- Minimize idle time to save fuel.
- Maintain proper tire pressure to reduce rolling resistance.
- Regularly service the machine to ensure peak performance.
