Skid Steer Loaders

Vertical Lift Loader LinkageInnovative loader design offers high lift height, extended reach and near-vertical lift path.Vertical Lift Linkage. The 232B and 242BSkid Steer Loaders feature vertical liftloader linkage that provides excellentloader performance and durabilitywithout excess weight. This innovativedesign allows the machines to endurethe punishment of heavy digging withminimal linkage wear.Two Additional Links Per Side.They allow the loader arms to moveforward during the lift cycle.This provides fifty-five percent morereach when fully raised, compared toa conventional radial lift loader.When lowered, reach is the same asa radial lift design to help maintain goodride characteristics during loaded carry.Lift Arms. The loader arms are extremelyrobust with a large torque tube atthe rear. This makes the vertical linkagesystem exceptionally rigid. This rigidityincreases the service life of the machineand minimizes downtime.Longer Wheelbase. A longer wheelbasegives these machines increased loadcarryingcapacity and gives them asmoother ride. It also improves weightdistribution of the machine for higherlift capacities.Vertical Lift PathRadial Lift Path8
