Wheel Loaders
Wheel loaders in our data span 2,050–598,004 lb — compact yard loaders through mining machines. That is not one class: a single ranked table would compare a 1-tonne loader with a 270-tonne one. So they are split into five coherent weight bands, chosen by the same dispersion gate used across the site. Pick a band for its full spec chart.

How these bands are set. The wheel-loader category is not a single class (weight p90/p10 = 6.5x vs a ~2.3x site norm). Cuts are chosen by our dispersion gate so each band is internally coherent — not by industry convention; the labels are size descriptors. Class medians carry their sample size (n). The 57 machines with no published operating weight cannot be assigned a band and are listed above so every model keeps its link. No figure is estimated.
