Kanga Loaders, Australia’s leading manufacturer and distributor of mini loaders led the clean up at the recent Woodford Folk Festival held between December 27th  and January 1st, 2010 on the Sunshine Coast.

“The Kanga was again a fantastic part of our team” said Tom Bourke, member of the Woodford Organising Group. “Kanga proved to be the ideal machine for the task as approximately 32 tonnes of organic material was processed during the festival” he continued.



With over 70 attachments to choose from, Kanga Loaders can be used for many applications including ground prep, construction, fencing, landscaping, agriculture, garden care, mining, plumbing and electrical to name a few.

Kanga Loaders has 6 models, from the “Kid” or 2 Series able to fit through doorways to the heavy duty 8 Series used at the Woodford Festival. Most models are available in a choice of petrol or diesel, while options of wheels or tracks make Kanga the most versatile machine on the market.  

Operator safety is at the forefront of Kanga’s design, manufacturing and testing process. The Kanga Loader is the only mini loader to have been independently risk assessed, protecting the operator and their investment.

“Due to the extremely muddy conditions we were unable to use any other vehicles during the entire festival. The Kanga had to do all the work, retrieving waste from the roadway, transport it to the mixing area and then transport it again to the processing Stack” said Mr Bourke “I’m not sure any other machine could have handled the job” “The Woodford Organisers Group is extremely thankful of the support given by Kanga” he added.

Since creating the first compact loader over 30 years ago, the Kanga brand has been recognised around the world as a proven symbol of quality, reliability and performance.
