Loaders

A loader is a type of tractor, which are usually wheeled but can also be on tracks. Their main function feature is a front mounted square wide bucket connected to the end of two arms. This is used to scoop up loose material from the ground, such as dirt, sand or gravel, and move it from one place to another without pushing the material across the ground.
The most common use for a loader is to move material from ground level and deposit it into dump trucks or into excavated trenches.

Used Loaders

Invaluable to any project is equipment that gives value for money, without sacrificing quality. Used Loaders have a long lifespan and are an ideal solution to investing in brand new equipment. Providing the front bucket is not fixed, used loaders can be equipped with different attachments to suit them to different applications. Many can mount forks to lift heavy pallets or shipping containers, and a hydraulically-opening "clamshell" bucket allows a loader to act as a light dozer or scraper. The bucket can also be augmented with devices like a bale grappler for handling large bales of hay or straw. In forestry, loaders can be adapted for log handling and prove invaluable machines in many environments.
