Compatibility inputs
Loader type, available drawbar capability, roller configuration and site conditions must be reviewed together.
ZL50 loader compatibility guide
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
A ZL50 loader may be considered as a tow unit only after the project confirms roller mass, travel speed, towing connection, site gradient and operating controls.
This guide helps a buyer request the correct compatibility information from CMG.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Working controls
Available CMG impact roller manual guidance states recommended operation of 10-15 km/h and avoidance of sharp or high-speed turns.
Site constraints
Turning space, gradient, ground condition and access affect whether the combination can operate safely.
Configuration scope
The RFQ should state whether the enquiry covers roller only, tow arrangement, monitoring or support equipment.
Evidence boundary
A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.
CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.
- Do not assume all loaders have the same towing compatibility.
- Do not use a loader image as proof of a complete matched package.
- Confirm project-specific controls before mobilisation.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Loader make and model
- Roller model or energy class
- Towing connection and operating speed
- Turning space and gradient
- Application and material condition
Decision record
Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.
Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.

Further questions for the project team.
Can a ZL50 loader tow every impact roller?
No. Roller configuration, loader capability and site conditions must be reviewed together.
What speed should be planned?
The available CMG impact roller manual guidance states 10-15 km/h for relevant operation.
What loader information should be provided?
Make, model, available towing connection and any site operating limits.
How is compatibility confirmed?
Through CMG configuration review using the RFQ inputs and project conditions.
