MultiOne articulated loaders in Inverness

The articulated steering facilitates swivelling of both front and back parts at the machine’s center, leading to a tighter turning radius than skid steers without side ground wear during turns.

Each new machine arrives with complete dealer support, guaranteeing peace of mind for every operator beginning their MultiOne journey.
Sherpa mini loaders
Sherpa loaders represent a class of smaller, reduced-weight machines with platforms for standing and wheels, specially designed for confined spaces where even mini articulated loaders seem oversized. The Sherpa series is provided in multiple configurations including petrol, diesel, electric, compact plus high-speed versions.
Their slimmer profile compared to MultiOne machines allows them to be navigating through doorways, narrow side passages and the challenging gaps between buildings where space comes at a premium. The more compact design turns formerly inaccessible areas into workable environments, opening up possibilities for projects where conventional equipment simply cannot reach.
These Sherpa loaders have become favourites among landscaping professionals caring for home gardens, found favour with demolition specialists performing interior clearances, and become essential companions to arborists moving timber and chippings through narrow passageways. Their versatility shines in confined spaces where larger machinery simply cannot venture.
The interfaces are so simple that operators generally get to grips with them in just moments – a crucial advantage when you’re hiring rather than owning, as your crew won’t have extended opportunities to become used to the machine. Isn’t that fantastic for fast deployment on site?
