The skid steer loader T490 offers both electric (8kW/72V) and fuel oil (15-19.2kW) power options and meets EURO5/EPA emission standards, making it environmentally friendly compared to conventional models. Its rated load capacity of 250kg (max. 350kg) and 0.12m³ bucket capacity are standard for small machines, but its 450KN digging force is outstanding. Compact dimensions (1300mm H x 1100mm W) and a short wheelbase (2700mm with bucket) make it suitable for confined spaces, but the 6km/h travel speed and 1400mm unloading height are below the industry average. The tracked undercarriage (1350mm ground length) offers good stability and slightly lower ground clearance of 230mm. This machine is suitable for environmentally conscious and space-constrained conditions, and is slightly less efficient than the medium-sized models.

The skid steer T490 demonstrates some competitiveness or differentiation compared to industry averages in a number of key specifications. In terms of power, the T490 offers a choice of configurations, including an 8kW electric version or a 15-19.2kW fuel engine (Koop/Runtong/B&S brands) with a twin-cylinder, naturally-aspirated design that is more common in smaller equipment, but the electric option outperforms most traditional fuel competitors in terms of environmental friendliness. The rated load capacity of 250kg (up to 350kg) is slightly below the common range of 300-400kg for mid-sized skid steers, but the bucket capacity of 0.12m³ is broadly on a par with similar models.

Performance parameters show that the maximum breakout force of 450KN is in the upper mid-range, but the top speed of 6km/h is only half the industry average (around 10-12km/h). The full cycle time of 9 seconds and the system pressure of 17-21bar are in the mainstream range. The unique dual-mode bucket tipping angle (27° ground / 114° high) offers a greater tipping range than conventional designs, but the 1400mm discharge height is slightly less than most models (typically 1600mm+).


In terms of dimensions, the T490 adopts a compact layout: the overall height of 1300mm is lower than average (about 1500mm), the overall length of 2700mm with bucket and 2300mm without bucket belongs to the short wheelbase design, and the width of 1100mm (with standard tires) makes it more suitable for work in narrow spaces. Its 1350mm track grounding length provides better grounding pressure distribution than wheeled models, but its 230mm ground clearance is slightly lower than some competitors.


Overall, the T490 has the advantage in terms of motorization options and compactness, but is slightly less efficient in terms of operating efficiency (speed/unloading height) and some of the load-carrying parameters than the medium-sized standard model, which is more suited to scenarios where environmental friendliness and space adaptability are important.
