Wacker launches compact machines in US

Wacker Corp introduced its new Wacker Neuson range of dump trucks, excavators and compact loaders at the Rental Show in Las Vegas in mid-February. A spokesman for Wacker Corp said the wide range of equipment meant that the company was now looking to appoint a network of exclusive compact equipment dealers. The company has engaged David Christipulli, formerly its long-time vice president of sales and marketing, as a consultant to help establish the compact range in North America. The range includes three site dumpers; “We hear that there is a market [for dumpers], especially in landscaping”, said a Wacker spokesman, “but there is going to be a learning curve.”
