What is a Kanga Loader?
In essence, Kanga Loaders are powerful, highly manoeuvrable, portable hydraulic power packs, which by virtue of their ingenious design are transformed into high performance, multi tasking stand on compact skid steer loaders, capable of being used in the harshest terrains in the most demanding and varied of applications.
Originally designed and developed on the Gold Coast of Australia in 1981, Kanga Loaders has spread worldwide, becoming universally recognised and best Mini Skid Steer Loaders available in the global market.
Powered by either Petrol or Diesel engines (Kid version available in Petrol only), the Kanga is the most refined, universal and user friendly machine in it’s class and boasts worldwide conformance to Occupational Health and Safety Standards and CE Certification. Kanga machines have set new standards for Return On Investment (ROI), making everyday tasks for contractors, landscapers, builders, domestic users etc, easier, faster, safer and much more cost effective, and is the one of the reasons why the Kanga Loader is fast becoming a popular, lucrative hire fleet accompaniment too.
With Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) and manual handling becoming an area of increased concern, Kanga Loaders are a viable and practical solution. Often attachments fitted to a Kanga not only benefit from increased performance because of the hydraulic output and weight of the machine, but can also be used more effectively and for longer periods than dedicated single disciplined equivalent machines. Equally Kanga can be used as an efficient muck shifter/manual handling solution.
The appeal of the Kanga range is clearly evident, it’s compact, easy to use, it’s high performing and has an array of over 60 attachments that enable it to be used for a multitude of applications including trenching, post hole boring, digging, cultivating, moving loads, tree planting, internal/external demolition, groundworks, sweeping, kerb/slab lifting plus much, much more.
Changing over the attachments could not be simpler and can be completed in less than a minute by an experienced operator. ALL attachments come with quick fit and are quickly and easily secured into place, practically enabling a multitude of attachments to be used on the one site/job.
The 2 series Kanga (Kid) is the smallest machine in the range and ideal for accessing confined spaces/narrow access, the wheeled version being only 770mm wide and the tracked version 820mm, such as access to the rear of most domestic properties. Being only 1560mm long/465kg, the Kanga 2 series is easily transportable on the back of most modern pick ups or small plant trailers. Even our larger 5, 6, 7 and 8 series machines will fit into the back of many pick up trucks, negating the need for specialist transport, a common headache with many physically larger machines.
For our customers wishing to purchase a loader with a complete range of attachments, the Kanga custom built trailer is an excellent proposition, permitting the fast loading and unloading of chosen attachments.
