Application: Sand Handling and Loading Operations
Supplier: SECSUN Machinery
Project Overview
SECSUN SC978 7-ton wheel loader has been put into operation at a sand yard in Guatemala. Working among large sand stockpiles and material conveying equipment, the machine supports daily material handling and loading activities at the site.
Sand yards require equipment capable of handling loose materials and carrying out repeated loading operations. From collecting sand from stockpiles to transferring materials to designated areas, wheel loaders play an important role in maintaining the flow of materials throughout the working site.
For this project, the customer chose the SECSUN SC978 to meet the loading requirements of the sand yard.

Working Conditions and Customer Requirements
The working environment shown in this project features extensive sand piles and conveying equipment. In such environments, loading equipment needs to handle large volumes of loose materials while adapting to repeated scooping, lifting, and unloading operations.
Bucket capacity and unloading height are important considerations when selecting a wheel loader for this type of work. Convenient operating controls and practical transmission options also help operators manage frequent forward and reverse movements during loading cycles.
The customer therefore selected a 7-ton wheel loader with a configuration suited to the site's material handling requirements.
SECSUN SC978 Wheel Loader Solution
SECSUN provided the SC978 wheel loader for the customer's sand handling operations. Its configuration combines pilot-operated controls with a multi-gear transmission, offering a practical operating arrangement for regular loading work.
The machine's bucket capacity supports the handling of loose sand, while its unloading height accommodates material transfer during loading operations. Standard air conditioning and the bucket floating function further enhance the machine's operating convenience.
With this configuration, the SC978 provides the customer with a dedicated wheel loader for daily work at the sand yard.

In Operation at the Sand Yard
The SC978 is now in operation at the customer's site in Guatemala. As shown in the project photos, the machine works alongside sand stockpiles and conveying equipment, supporting the movement and loading of bulk materials.
In a sand yard, loading activities are closely connected to the overall material handling process. The wheel loader helps collect sand from stockpiles and move it to designated loading points, making it an important part of the site's daily operations.
This project demonstrates the application of the SECSUN SC978 in a real sand handling environment, where suitable loading capacity and equipment configuration are essential to meeting operational needs.
Conclusion
Different material handling environments require different equipment configurations. For sand yards, selecting a wheel loader with suitable bucket capacity, unloading height, and operating functions is an important part of supporting daily loading activities.
