Mini Crawler Dumper with Front Shovel, 1,310 kg

Overview

Front shovel on tracks

This machine puts the loading shovel on the front and the carrying body behind it, all on tracks. That means one operator can scoop material, drive it away and tip it, with no second machine needed for loading. Tracks spread the weight, so it works on mud, loose fill and slopes where a wheeled dumper would spin.

Where it earns its place

At 1,310 kg it is light enough to move on a small trailer and to enter a building site through a narrow opening. It suits garden works, courtyards, renovation jobs and farm tracks where the ground is soft or access is tight. The hydraulic system lifts and tips, so the operator does not need to shovel by hand. Ground type decides the track option: rubber tracks spread weight and leave less damage than wheels, which suits lawns and finished floors, while steel tracks give more grip but can cut surfaces.

Engine and rating

Three power ratings are offered: 60 kW, 37 kW and 15.7 kW. Rated power, bucket size and load rating depend on the version.

Tracked front-shovel dumper or wheel loader

This dumper carries its own front shovel, so it loads itself from piles and tips into a bin or pit. That puts it between our walk-behind 1.2 ton crawler dumper, which needs hand loading, and our wheeled dumper loaders, which need firmer ground. Choose it when you want to cut the labor of loading by hand and the site is too soft for wheels. If you only carry small loads over short distances, it is a sensible match. If speed over long distances or a heavier daily haul matters more, look at our wheel dumpers. If you only haul material that another machine loads, or need a smaller tracked unit, our small diesel crawler dumper costs less. Keep an eye on the shovel and tipping cylinders, since small hydraulic parts take the most wear in sandy ground.
