Types of gearbox for front loaders
Hydromechanical transmission (HMT)
* Combines a hydrodynamic torque converter and mechanical gears.
* Provides smooth gear shifting without loss of power.
* Widely used in heavy-duty, high-capacity front-end loaders.
Driving directions:
*Forward: 4-6 gears
*Back: 2-4 gears
Hydrostatic transmission (HST)
* Consists of a hydraulic pump and a hydraulic motor, which are connected by hydraulic hoses.
* Provides stepless speed and torque control.
* Better suited for jobs that require precise speed control and maneuverability.
* Driving directions:
* Forward: no restrictions
*Back: no restrictions
Electromechanical transmission (EMT)
*Combines an electric motor and mechanical gears or reducers.
* Provides high efficiency and reduced fuel consumption.
* An environmentally friendly option that is becoming increasingly popular.
Driving directions:
*Forward: 4-6 gears
*Back: 2-4 gears
Advantages of different types of gearboxes
*GMP: High power, smooth shifting, suitable for heavy loads.
*GST: Stepless speed control, high maneuverability, suitable for jobs requiring precise control.
* EMT: High efficiency, reduced fuel consumption, environmental friendliness.
The choice of transmission type for a front loader depends on the specific operating conditions, required performance and operator preference.
