Wheel Loaders (3)

Articulated wheel loaders are ideal for large construction jobsites that require a lot of loading, such as piling debris into dump trucks, or moving aside materials like asphalt, dirt, wood chips, snow, or feed. Wheel loaders — also known as front end loaders — offer roomy, high-visibility cabs for reduced operator fatigue and unmatched productivity. Their easy fingertip controls are backed by power steering and automatic transmissions. 

Wheel loaders are some of the most versatile earthmoving equipment. With optional attachments such as pipe carriages, forks, and extendable booms, you can reach higher, lift larger loads, or transport pipes and conduit.
