A crawler loader is a kind of crawler construction equipment designed to implement a wide range of construction, earth-moving and other types of tasks. 

The basis for these vehicles is a crawler tractor, equipped with a lifting boom, on which the working bodies in the form of different types of buckets are established.  Both lifting the boom and unloading of the bucket (by tipping it forward relative to the axis of the vehicle's movement) is carried out by power of the hydraulic system.  Besides the main bucket, the crawler loaders can carry additional implements, or act as a tractor unit for towed equipment - it comes here to, primarily, all kinds of soil rippers, compactors, etc. 

It should be noted that (taking into account the resemblance, which is, indeed, significant) the crawler loaders should be under no circumstances confused with bulldozers, as the main working body of the latter ones is not a lifting boom with a bucket but a dozer blade. 

Crawler loaders are extremely widely used in construction, municipal services, road-building and road maintenance sectors, mining and wood-harvesting industries.  Due to the crawler chassis, these vehicles have a good off-road performance and high maneuverability, which allows operating effectively in off-road conditions, for example, clearing up the roads, cleaning snowdrifts, maintaining landfills, etc.
