Kanga Loaders is the only mini loader on the market which has been independently risk assessed. Its design centres around operator safety while being manufactured to world's best practice standards. Furthermore, advanced engineering combined with the latest technologies has allowed Kanga Loaders to develop a cutting edge machine that is recognised as being at the forefront of its industry. Some of its design features include self levelling arms ensuring safe and easy operation without load spillage. Increased bucket dump and roll back angles making it easier to capture full loads while keeping the arms fully lowered. This creates a lower centre of gravity which inturn creates extra stability on slopes.

All Kanga machines have large hydraulic reservoirs with pressure and return filters as well as heavy gauge steel fuel tanks with enough fuel capacity for 3 days of operation. Other features include an ergonomic design, creating superior operator comfort and protection while the simple lever layout with soft touch controls offers easier operation and a smoother ride. All Kanga Loaders incorporate an auto auxiliary cut out system which automatically shuts off the auxiliary power to the attachment should the operator leave the machine.

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.
