Best Lift to Weight Ratio


Not all stand up mini loaders were created equal and one of the biggest differences between manufacturers is the lift to weight ratio.

The Dingo SM440-31W boasts the highest lift capacity of any stand up wheeled mini loader on the market with a massive 440kg WLL. 

Another key figure to consider is the working weight to machine weight ratio, the SM440-31W has an industry leading 40% ratio, far higher than the 30% average across the industry (some manufacturers as low as 19%). 

The high ratio between lift capacity and machine weight is a very important aspect to consider when purchasing a new loader. It shows a low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution which are all necessary for the safe operation of the loader and efficient operation of attachments such as chain trenchers.
