skid-steer loaders
Komatsu
Komatsu's SK815-5 standard equipment two-speed travel system allows for low impact shift-on-the-go speed changes. The hydraulic self-leveling (up only) bucket with 3,950 pounds of breakout force enhances productivity. The optional super-flow hydraulic system increases the available oil flow for attachments from 16 gpm to 26 gpm. The joystick-mounted control system incorporates momentary reverse flow and multiple electrical inputs enabling the machine to power most attachments. A 41-inch wheelbase provides a stable ride and platform for operating high production attachments.

The ultra-compact SK350 mini-skid steer features a 20-hp Kohler engine and an 11-gpm dual hydrostatic ground drive that gives it the same capabilities of larger machines. Its 7.5-gallon fuel tank provides up to 5 hours of operation so the operator can finish most jobs without refueling. Features include simple, easy-to-use, color-coded controls and a quick-disconnect manifold so attachments can be changed without shutting off the machine.

Compact Power
Compact Power introduces its newest model to the Boxer lineup, the 532DX mini-skid. The track-driven 532DX diesel unit is designed for the landscaping, rental and construction markets. Like the Boxer 526DX, the 532DX offers an integrated track system that retracts from a fully extended 43.5-inches to a width of 35 inches, and is easily controlled by a joystick on the control panel. The variable track design is designed to facilitate the ability to maneuver the 532DX through tight areas, such as gates and sidewalks, and then extend back to full width for increased stability while in operation.
