The Kawasaki Construction Machinery Corporation is a division of the Kawasaki Heavy Industries Company. They are a top supplier of wheeled front-end loaderss in North and South America.
Kawasaki front-end loaders are used on farms, with utility companies, in road construction and in heavy industries. These front-end loaders feature a sturdy Cummins B4.5T diesel engine. For the operator’s safety all front-end loaders come with a rollover protection system for the cabin. For easy access, the cab can be reached from either side of the massive front-end loaders with a built in ladder.
Wheeled front-end loaders offer higher travel speeds than tracked models but do not have as much traction or as much flotation. The traction is important when working in slippery and uneven areas. The flotation refers to how well the load weight is distributed across the portion of the front-end loaders that makes contact with the ground. Tracked front-end loaders have more area in contact with the ground and therefore a higher flotation rating.
