As an alternative to the standard version, the wheel loader L 524 P is equipped with a parallelogram attachment geometry. For applications requiring heavy attachments such as wood tongs, high-discharge buckets or buckets featuring hold down plates, the parallelogram attachment geometry has constructive advantages when unloading compared with the traditional Z-bar loader linkage. The L 524 P is thus particularly suited for industrial handling or wood handling, or for recycling applications.
