The WA600-6 is a large wheel loader. A wheel loader is a piece of construction machinery used to scoop up earth and sand and load it onto dump trucks and other pieces of machinery. The loader can be used to move earth and sand by raising the bucket (which is installed in front). In comparison with previous models, the WA600-6 features higher specifications in terms of bucket capacity, engine output rating, and operating mass. With the latest fuel-conservation technologies, including newly designed hydraulic systems and engine technologies, this model offers enhanced productivity and energy efficiency.
