When choosing construction equipment, one of the first questions that arises is whether to opt for tracked or wheeled machinery. Each has its advantages, and the right decision depends on terrain, project type, and operating conditions. SDLG offers a well-balanced portfolio of both tracked and wheeled machines, giving businesses flexibility to choose what fits best.

Tracked Machines: Stability and Strength on Tough Terrain
Tracked machines, such as crawler excavators, are built for difficult environments. They offer better stability on soft, muddy, or uneven ground — making them ideal for off-road use, forestry, mining, or large infrastructure works.
For example, SDLG’s crawler-type tractor-excavators are known for their digging power, smooth hydraulic performance, and exceptional balance in harsh conditions.

Benefits of Tracked Equipment:
- Superior traction in unstable ground
- Lower ground pressure to prevent surface damage
- Increased lifting and pushing capacity
- Better weight distribution
However, tracked machines usually have slower travel speeds and may require transport between job sites.
Wheeled Machines: Speed and Versatility
Wheeled SDLG machines — such as loaders, motor graders, and backhoe loaders — are better suited for solid terrain, urban areas, and jobs that require frequent repositioning. They travel faster on roads and between project sites, making them ideal for municipal and construction work.
Wheeled loaders are especially popular in Europe for warehouse logistics, loading aggregate, and light construction. Their maneuverability and ease of control make them a smart choice for operators working in compact spaces.
Easy Service and Support
Regardless of machine type, SDLG emphasizes easy maintenance and strong after-sales support. The company provides straightforward service access, widely available spare parts, and a responsive dealer network across Europe.

Choose Wheeled SDLG Machines if you:
- Operate on paved or hard ground
- Need to relocate machines quickly
- Handle logistics, roadwork, or warehouse tasks
Both tracked and wheeled SDLG machines have their place in modern construction and industrial applications. The best option depends on your project’s specific demands. With SDLG’s wide equipment lineup, you don’t have to compromise — there’s a reliable, affordable machine tailored to your work environment.
