YTO Wheel Loader – the wheel loaders ZL30 to ZL50G from Luoyang: Weichai and Shanghai Diesel engines, 92 to 162 kW, operating weights 9.8 to 17 t
YTO Group of Luoyang in China's Henan province is one of China's largest makers of agricultural and construction machinery. Founded in 1955 as First Tractor Works, the group was for decades China's largest state-owned tractor maker and still carries the nickname Dongfanghong (The East Is Red) for its oldest tractor models. With the ZL range the group also builds wheel loaders, whose number gives the tonne class of the machine's size – ZL30 the roughly 3-tonne, ZL50 the roughly 5-tonne class.

The register lists here 4 versions with 92 to 162 kW and operating weights from 9,800 to 17,000 kg; the engines in the register are the Weichai WD615, a Shanghai Diesel of the 6135 series and an engine of the LR6108 range.
YTO loaders work mainly within China itself and in exports to Africa, Southeast Asia and South America, where they compete in earthmoving and building-materials extraction with the other Chinese brands SDLG, LiuGong and XCMG. In recent years YTO has deliberately expanded its wheel-loader programme to grow in construction equipment alongside its agricultural machinery.
On a used machine, hours, the condition of the bucket and articulated steering joint, tightness of the hydraulic cylinders, the condition of the axles, on the Weichai and Shanghai engines the availability of local spare parts and the service history, and the condition of the cab and air conditioning count; parts run through the YTO dealer network.
