Wacker Neuson Showing New Medium Frame Skid-Steer and Compact Track Loaders
Wacker Neuson is showing a new line of medium-frame skid-steer and compact track loaders designed for the rental market. Four new skid-steer loaders and two new compact track loaders were designed from the ground up, offering more power and torque to lift and push more and maneuver through challenging jobsite obstacles. With a transferable engine warranty of four years or 4,000 hours, the new models are designed for inventory management and resale.
An engine torque of 221 foot-pounds provides power for improved ground-engaging performance in all kinds of terrain. The Kohler diesel engine features a maintenance-free, regeneration-free after-treatment system.
The universal skid-steer attachment plate enables attachments to be switched easily. The 33-gallon fuel tank gives operators 30 percent more time in the cab and less time refueling. The machines offer a one-piece pod-style cab that fully tilts forward with the arms down, providing complete access to all maintenance components. The units were designed and built at Wacker Neuson’s Menomonee Falls, Wis., facility.
Rental Show attendees can visit Wacker Neuson in Booth 4725.
