Compact articulated wheel loaders are designed to maximize productivity in areas where space is at a premium and flexibility is required. The loader uses a fully articulated steering system which allows the front and rear frame of the loader to rotate away from one another so that the loader can maneuver more freely and to reduce tire wear while turning. A forward-mounted loader can be used for transporting and storing loose materials including soil, sand and gravel, as well as construction debris.
The new hydraulic system provides operators with smooth and responsive control making it easier to lift and dump loads accurately. Operator comfort and safety have been a key consideration in designing the operator's controls and the cabs layout and size, which are ergonomically designed so that the operator can see the loaded material without obstruction. Compact articulated wheel loaders are manufactured from rugged, high quality materials that are designed for years of trouble-free operation so that contractor's and operators can rely on their performance, versatility, ease of use and efficiency when working in urban, municipal and light construction environments.
