Band definition. “Compact wheel loaders” means operating weight ≤22,000 lb — a cut chosen by our dispersion gate so this band is a coherent class (unlike the full 2,050–598,004 lb category). Every figure is an individual manufacturer spec read through our guarded view; a value that failed a QA check or was never published shows “not published”, never zero. Columns appear only where populated for ≥80% of the band, so bucket capacity drops out of the heaviest bands. Class medians carry n; no figure is estimated.
