A wheel loader front unit includes a frame for a wheel loader, the frame including an upper joint element and a lower joint element for connecting the frame to a rear unit of the wheel loader, and for transferring loads between the frame and the rear unit, the frame including a lift arm mounting point for a pivot connection of the frame and a lift arm for lifting an implement of the wheel loader. The upper and lower joint elements are arranged so that a first of the upper and lower joint elements, during use of the wheel loader, transfers a larger vertical load than a second of the upper and lower joint elements, and the lift arm mounting point is located closer to the first of the upper and lower joint elements than to the second of the upper and lower joint elements.
