All Skid-steer Articles

IRN reports on the latest compact tool carriers, including tracked loaders, skid steers and articulated wheeled loaders from suppliers including Bobcat, Boxer, Mustang, Gehl, Cat, Wacker Neuson, Kanga and Avant Tecno.

Kanga Loaders in Australia, manufacturer of the famous Kanga mini-loader tool carrier, has been acquired by Digga Manufacturing, the Australian manufacturer of earthmoving equipment wear parts and attachments.

Canadian skid steer loader producer Thomas Equipment Inc has appointed John Andrews as its regional business manager for Western Europe.

Combining a tracked skid steer carrier, a 5 m telescoping boom, and a 270 degree rotating turret is the new STTS C55.12 from Cormidi, launched at the SAIE show.

The Kubota engine in Bobcat's new T320 gives the 4401 kg compact tracked loader 67.6 kW of power, 18% more than in the smaller T300. The 1461 kg lift capacity machine is the biggest in the company's five-model range and has the highest power-to-weight ratio in its class, said Bobcat.

Vermeer is planning more products suitable for rental, and more specially adapted to markets outside of North America. Murray Pollok reports.
