Wacker Neuson Introduces Compact Equipment Line to U.S. Market

Wacker Neuson, a manufacturer of light construction equipment, has launched a new line of compact equipment to the U.S. market. The introduction of the new line represents a major expansion of product offerings to the landscape, rental and construction contractor markets for the Menomonee Falls, Wis.-based company. The new Wacker Neuson compact equipment line includes a wide range of wheel loaders, excavators and dumpers.

The new line of wheel loaders includes four articulated units and two all-wheel-steer machines with standard bucket capacities of 0.26 to 1.1 cubic yard. Each unit is compact in size but big on power, performance, maneuverability, operator comfort and safety. The wheel loaders also have a complete line of attachment tools available for added versatility on the jobsite.

A broad lineup of five new compact excavators with a wide array of available attachments will also be introduced. The new excavators will range in size from 1.4 to 8 metric tons and feature models that include everything from a mini-sized unit to units with high output powerful engines as well as zero tail-swing models for great performance in even the tightest confines. Independent boom swing, increased flow hydraulic systems, rubber tracks, dozer blades and a control pattern selection are standard on all models.

New dumpers will round out the line with three new machines with payload capacities of 2,205 to 13,228 pounds. Articulated dumpers are becoming the bulk material-mover of choice here in the U.S., and with a range of power and payload options, these new units will prove to be popular with the landscape, rental and contractor markets as well as others.

Jay Baudhuin, compact equipment product manager, says Wacker Neuson's new line of compact equipment will be embraced by the company's customer base. "We now have new machines that will lift, load, move, dig, plow, haul and more. It's a natural progression for our company's goals to have the Wacker Neuson brand involved in as much of the construction process as possible. And we plan on introducing additional compact equipment to complement the line in the future.”
