LOADERS

Compact track loaders are a growing segment of the construction marketplace and for good reason: they are nimble, versatile machines that can dig, load, carry, and use a variety of attachments. Tracked machines are able to deal with many types of terrain far better than wheeled units, which can get bogged down in sandy or muddy conditions. Plus, CTLs have lower ground pressure than similar loaders –important when working to avoid damage to surfaces such as lawns. These small, capable machines also benefit from expanding technology that adds efficiency. Here is a look at the current selection of compact track loaders.

FEATURED: ST27

Wacker Neuson’s newest CTL model is the ST27. The ST27 offers high power-to-weight ratio with an operating weight of 7,310 pounds and a rated operating capacity of 1,890 pounds (at 35 percent of tip). This model features good serviceability, operator comfort, and panoramic visibility.

Wacker Neuson

Wacker Neuson says its compact track loaders offer enhanced cab design and service accessibility. Daily maintenance accessibility starts with a cab that tips forward, even when the loader arms are down. This provides complete and easy access to maintenance components. The simple design and efficient layout means less time on daily service checks. Wacker Neuson’s CTLs also offer comfort features, including strategically positioned joysticks that provide intuitive and comfortable operation. The cab provides plenty of head room and leg room including angled foot pedals and foot bed. The high-visibility cabs deliver an excellent view of the worksite, significantly reducing operator fatigue.
