Why is the loader so weak?
Recently, the problem of insufficient power of loaders has become a hot topic in the field of construction machinery. Many users reported that the loader experienced a decrease in power and working efficiency during use. This article will combine the hot discussions on the entire network in the past 10 days, analyze the common reasons why the loader is boring, and provide structured solutions.
1. Common causes of insufficient loader power

| Cause classification | Specific performance | Failure probability |
|---|---|---|
| engine system | Insufficient fuel supply, clogged air filter, turbocharger failure | 35% |
| Hydraulic system | Hydraulic oil contamination, oil pump wear, valve block leakage | 28% |
| Transmission system | Poor transmission oil quality, clutch slippage, and drive shaft damage | 22% |
| other factors | Improper operation, overload work, environmental temperature effects | 15% |
2. Engine system troubleshooting
1.Fuel system inspection: First check whether the fuel filter is clogged and whether there is leakage in the fuel pipeline. Inferior quality fuel will cause insufficient engine power. It is recommended to use diesel provided by regular gas stations.
2.air intake system: Clogged air filters are a common problem, especially when operating in dusty environments. Check the air filter indicator or directly disassemble the air filter and replace it if necessary.
3.turbocharger: If the engine emits blue smoke and is accompanied by a loss of power, it may be a turbocharger failure. Check the supercharger bearing clearance and impeller condition.
3. Hydraulic system problem diagnosis
| Test items | normal value range | abnormal behavior |
|---|---|---|
| main pump pressure | 18-22MPa | Below 15MPa |
| Hydraulic oil temperature | 50-80℃ | over 90℃ |
| Hydraulic oil contamination degree | NAS level 9 or below | NAS level 10 or above |
Hydraulic system failure usually manifests itself as slow movement and insufficient power. It is recommended to replace the hydraulic oil and filter element regularly to keep the system clean. If the main pump pressure is insufficient, the hydraulic pump may need to be repaired or replaced.
4. Main points of transmission system maintenance
1.Gearbox inspection: Check the gearbox oil level and quality. Deteriorated oil will cause clutch slippage. Change the transmission oil and filter regularly.
2.drive shaft: Check whether the universal joint is loose or worn. Unbalanced drive shaft will cause power loss.
3.Differential and wheel reduction: Check whether the gear oil is sufficient. Gear wear will cause the power transmission efficiency to decrease.
5. Operation and environmental factors
1.Operating habits: Long-term operation at high speed and low gear will cause the engine to overheat and affect power output.
2.working environment: Thin air in plateau areas will cause engine power to decrease, and fuel injection parameters need to be adjusted.
3.load matching: Make sure the loader specifications match the work tasks. Long-term overload work will accelerate the aging of the equipment.
6. Comprehensive solutions
| Fault phenomenon | Possible reasons | solution |
|---|---|---|
| The engine speed cannot be increased | Fuel system problems, electronic control failures | Check the fuel system and read fault codes |
| Weakness in walking | Gearbox and drive shaft problems | Check transmission oil pressure |
| Slow lifting action | Hydraulic pump wear and cylinder leakage | Test hydraulic system pressure |
Regarding the problem of insufficient power of the loader, it is recommended to gradually investigate according to the principle of "from simple to complex". Check the fuel and air systems, which are most likely to go wrong, first, then test hydraulic pressure, and finally consider transmission problems. Regular maintenance and correct operation are key to preventing power loss.
From the above analysis, it can be seen that there are many reasons for the lack of power of the loader, and it needs to be judged based on the specific symptoms. It is recommended that equipment administrators establish complete maintenance records to help quickly diagnose the cause of faults. For complex problems, professional maintenance personnel should be contacted promptly to avoid greater losses due to misjudgment.
