Wheeled loaders: Staying safe around industry giants

In 2019, before the coronavirus, European sales of wheeled loaders with buckets over 1.0m3 hit a record high, according to specialist market research and forecasting company, Off-Highway Research (OHR).

While 2020 sales are thought to be down by 20%, industry analyst Off-Highway Research says the rebound from the pandemic is “expected to be a little more convincing in the medium term than that of compact wheeled loaders”, equipment buyers’ health and safety related concerns may now drive purchase decisions in a way that has never been seen before.
