What decides its use
- The volume and the distance They are what decide whether this machine has a place on the site, or whether another will do the same work for less.
- The room available A machine that cannot manoeuvre does not produce, whatever its capacity.
-
The rate of the neighbouring machines
It is rarely calculated and often costs more than the hire:
a machine that waits costs as much as a machine that works. - Transport to the worksite It governs what can actually be sent, and it is settled before everything else.

These values are those of one precise model, at one precise date. They do not describe a category:
there are no characteristics of a compact loader in general, there are those of the model you have.
They change from one year to the next and never replace the data sheet of your machine.
