Different Manufacturers

So, how much can you expect to pay for a wheel loader? Aside from the obvious, such as the model and size of the wheel loader you want, you will have to consider whether you want to buy, lease, or rent the wheel loader. Also, it is not a bad idea to shop around a little and compare prices between different companies.

The manufacturers for larger wheel loaders include Caterpillar, Liebherr, Volvo, Hitachi, Hanomag, Komatsu, and others. Each offers competitive prices and the option to buy or rent wheel loaders. It is up to you to decide what best suits your purposes. However, the companies are more than willing to assist you in making the right decision.

Caterpillar, for example, offers a variety of reasons why you should consider renting one of their machines, or "Cats" as the company calls them. On their website, they promote ten reasons why you should consider renting instead of buying. First, Caterpillar mechanics will be readily available should you experience a breakdown in your wheel loader. This can help prevent or minimize loss of time on a job. Second, you have access to the latest models, so you can take advantage of new technology the company incorporates. You can also take advantage of the benefits of a heavy wheel loader without having to purchase it, if your task only requires its use for a short time. Other reasons include the elimination of storage and maintenance costs. Of course, the faithful "try it before you buy it" reason is always appealing for both new and veteran customers.
