MultiOne vs Sherpa: Which Compact Loader Do You Need For Your Craigmillar Business?
Our selection encompasses 2 individual brands to serve various market segments. Your most suitable choice will be influenced by the average size of your projects, site accessibility conditions, and the exact functions you require the machinery to carry out.

MultiOne articulated loaders in Craigmillar
These MultiOne loaders offer articulation with telescopic booms, utilising diesel engines, and incorporate a quick-hitch mechanism suitable for numerous attachments.

The skillfully crafted articulated steering permits the machine to bend fluidly at its midpoint, with front and rear sections pivoting around the centre. This feat of engineering produces a more compact turning circle than skid steers, whilst preserving the ground beneath as it prevents that aggressive sideways scrubbing during turns. Your telescopic boom presents something truly special—elevating to heights and extending to distances that conventional fixed-arm loaders simply are unable to achieve, creating possibilities beyond their limited reach.
The series spans from compact units intended for less demanding tasks up to robust equipment engineered for large commercial operators, alongside an electric-powered alternative perfect for indoor spaces and environments where emissions must be minimised.
MultiOne equipment provides the ideal solution for users who need a versatile unit able to lifting, loading, digging, mowing, sweeping and other related tasks. Latest models come with comprehensive dealer support.
Sherpa mini loaders
Sherpa loaders represent a class of miniature, low-weight, stand-on wheeled equipment specifically engineered for constrained-access operations where even small articulated loaders prove too large. The comprehensive Sherpa range encompasses petrol, diesel, electric, compact, and high-velocity versions to suit different operational requirements.
They are sized slimmer than MultiOne machines, making them well-suited for projects requiring access through entryways, tight side passages, and those tricky gaps between buildings. Need to navigate tight areas? These machines are your ideal solution!
Sherpa loaders maintain widespread appeal among landscape specialists active in domestic gardens, demolition specialists carrying out building clearances, and arborists seeking tools to move logs and wood chips through narrow access points.
The controls possess a straightforwardness that permits almost all operators to become proficient with them swiftly, typically within minutes, a crucial factor if you are choosing to lease rather than acquire the machine, particularly when your team is without weeks to familiarise themselves with its operation.
Not sure which to choose?
Ring us with all your task specifics: what needs transporting, your access situation, and if you require substantial lifting power or only ground-level movement. We both sell and rent the two makes, so we’ve no reason to prefer either one. We’ll genuinely suggest the option that’s best suited for your specific task!
Compact Loader Attachments: One Machine, Dozens of Jobs
The real value of a mini loader is found in its added implements. MultiOne’s swift coupling mechanism accepts an extensive array of implements, whilst Sherpa loaders employ their own specialised range. Our regularly supplied for hire and sale attachments encompass diverse implements for various applications. We commonly offer buckets, pallet forks, augers, trenchers as well as brush cutters within our rental and sales inventory. These versatile tools considerably enhance the operational capabilities of these productive machines.
- Buckets (general purpose, grading, high-tip)
- Pallet forks
- Augers (for fence posts, tree planting, ground screws)
- Sweepers and brooms

When opting for our services or purchasing from our company, we offer advice in determining the ideal attachments for your day-to-day operations.
