Posi-Track RT-30 track loader

8599 ASV, a joint venture between 8600 Manitex International and 1222 Terex, is showing its range of compact track and skid steer loaders for the construction and forestry markets at CONEXPO-CON/AGG. The machines feature the patented Posi-Track undercarriage technology that provides exceptional traction on soft, wet, slippery, rough or hilly terrain, claims the company.

Smallest in the range is the Posi-Track RT-30 track loader, featuring efficient hydraulics and cooling systems and low ground pressure. Weighing just 3,600lb and only 48 inches wide, the RT-30 has an 8.4-foot lift height. Its compact size and 10 inches of ground clearance minimise risk of property damage or damage to the machine. The performance and design make the machine a more productive alternative to walk-behind and sit-on mini skid steer loaders, claims the company.

The RT-75 HD is a heavy-duty customisation of the company's standard RT-75 compact track loader. Targeted at forestry applications, the durability upgrade features include metal guarding against brush and debris around key areas - such as lights, the AC condenser and rear screen. The machine blows mulching debris out of the engine compartment screens with a hydraulically-driven, auto-reversing cooling fan. A full rear brush guard is also available as a factory-installed option. The machine works with standard attachments.

Including mulching heads, brush cutters, backhoes, buckets, snow blades and pallet forks.
