Who uses it
Groundworks crews and hire yards use this loader for truck loading, grading and moving material where lift height matters. Its suspended undercarriage and rubber tracks spread the load, which suits lawns, reinstatement work and soft ground. Two-speed travel helps it move quickly between tasks on the same site.
