Loaders – Why They Have So Many Different Names
Loader Training
When looking for work as a loader operator you will be surprised at how many different terms
are used for these machines. Some terms are regional specific, most are manufacturing specific,
yet there is a certain amount of logic behind each name. Some of the names you may come
across include:
Wheel Loader – as the name suggests, this equipment is driven on wheels rather than tracks like
a bulldozer. This is one of the more generic terms used for loaders.
Front-End Loader – this is another generic term for a loader.
Skip Loader – these are smaller vehicles, often smaller than a standard car. The arms that control
the shovel come forward from behind rather than from the front.
Skid Steer Loaders – these vehicles are also much smaller. They are generally driven on tracks
rather than wheels and get their name from the steering method. Each track is driven
independently so stopping or slowing one will cause the vehicle to skid in a certain direction.
Backhoe Loader – this is a combination of front loader and rear excavator tool. For many
businesses, these are popular since you get two tools for the price of one.
Shovel – an old term that is not used very often. This term describes the bucket or scoop used to
move material.
There are many other terms used to describe loaders. What they have in common is a bucket,
shovel or scoop in the front that is used to move items, generally dirt, from one point to another.
Most have sufficient reach to enable the loading of dump trucks. What they also have in common
is the need for basic training on heavy equipment. Basic heavy equipment training programs
provide the skills required to operate a loader. These training programs also provide knowledge
on factors such as safety and maintenance, essential in today’s job market.

What Do Loader And Unloaders Do?

A loader and unloader is a person who works in a warehouse and shipping operation. This person
is responsible for helping to load freight onto trucks, trains, and ships to be transported away. He
or she also helps unload freight shipped to the warehouse facility. It is a labor and time-intensive
job that requires both physical exertion and also quick thinking, adherence to regulations, and
good organizational skills.
Freight is typically not just dumped into and out of shipping vehicles. Rather, it must be carefully
arranged to maximize space requirements of the cargo area. In addition, not all freight to be
shipped or unloaded is created equal. Some cargo may have specific handling rules, while other
cargo may have priority status. The loader/unloader's job involves working through all these
parameters accurately. The loader and unloader must take all precautions to ensure accuracy in
his or her operations to ensure that time-sensitive cargo is loaded into a transport that will take it
to the desired next hub.
The background requirements to work as a loader and unloader are not particularly steep, as most
companies in warehousing and shipping will look for experience and physical ability to perform
the job over all other considerations. Most employers will offer on-the-job training regarding
shipping tags and the operation of equipment like loading dollies and forklifts. A loader and
unloader should also be easily able to lift and carry at least 50 pounds and do so regularly.

assigned to daytime, evening, or even overnight shift work.
