The WA70-6 and WA80-6 use state-of-the art Komatsu designed and manufactured hydrostatic transmissions with limited slip axles as standard, Moore says. Visibility is enhanced with the Delta loader boom and to the rear with a transverse engine. The cab tilts up and makes service a snap. With high visibility, easy to operate hydrostatic transmission with limited slip axles, and easy to service features, both models are a high-value addition to your rental fleet.

Takeuchi

Takeuchi compact wheel loaders provide customers with an outstanding blend of power and performance.

All Takeuchi compact wheel loaders feature a 100% inching pedal that when used in conjunction with the accelerator pedal allows the operator to maintain full flow and pressure to the loader and auxiliary hydraulic functions while reducing travel speed, says David Caldwell, product and training manager.

"Takeuchi offers two loader linkage arrangements," he says. "The TW50 is equipped with a parallel loader linkage that allows it to function much like a tool carrier and makes it an ideal choice for picking and placing material. The larger TW65 and TW80 feature Z-bar loader linkages that make them excellent choices for digging and loading aggregate material, snow removal, scrap and recycling applications."

100% locking differentials are standard equipment and provide the additional traction an operator may need to power through adverse terrain and conditions.

"All Takeuchi compact wheel loaders feature spacious operator platforms that feature a six-way adjustable suspension seat with arm rests, low effort pilot controls, and certified ROPS/FOPS level 2 protection," Caldwell says.

Volvo

The latest generation Volvo L20F and L25F compact wheel loaders offer greater operator comfort and an improved compact design. The new machines offer a range that delivers the key requirements of the 50- to 60-hp wheel loader class, namely versatility, compact dimensions, ease of operation and flexibility for use with a wide range of attachments for many different applications.

The machine’s compact size helps give all-around visibility and the ability to work in narrow or confined work sites. Servicing is easy, with quick and convenient access to all the main service points, which are located under the protection of the engine hood. The electric circuit board is also located in a safe, protected and easily-accessible location. An easy-fill, high-capacity 15.8 gallon fuel tank allows for long work cycles.

The frame concept features an articulating/oscillating joint in the center of the machine between the front and rear frame. This combined with 100-percent operator-selectable differential locks on the front and rear axles as standard, provides each machine with optimal performance, stability and traction when operating on rough terrain. Parallel linkage on both models offers excellent visibility to the attachment.

In addition, the Volvo L20F and L25F have been designed for easy machine operation — a key feature for rental customers — as everyone from expert operators to those with limited experience can quickly become proficient. An optional hand control inch valve permits operators to precisely adapt travel speed to fit the application.

“The new Volvo L20F and L25F models are the result of more than 50 years of wheel loader experience,” said Bernhard Lemling, Volvo wheel loaders product planner. “We brought all the knowledge from our long history into these products.”
