Are There Alternative Machines To The Opico Skidster?

As you may know by now, the Opico Skidster, a venerated name in the industry is no longer available. You may be looking for a viable alternative for your replacement, production units or researching your new purchase. In either case, you should consider the Kanga loader range of Skid Steer machines as an alternative to the Opico Skidster line.

Kanga Loaders UK LTD is one of the leading manufacturers of Skid Steers in the UK. This is also their flagship product line. While this may not automatically mean higher quality, being a successful, local company does say something about what you can expect. This kind of dedication to a specific job is rarer than it used to be with globalization and the mega-corporations. The fact that the company is dedicated to this type of product means that you can not only rely on the service and support that you will receive but know you have a company dedicated to the needs of your industry as well. Since you are using these machines to get work done you will need to rely on them and the company that produced them and that would the Kanga Advantage.

The Kanga Product line is extensive and they should have just the unit to cover your needs. The line starts with the Series 2, one of the smallest Skidster on the market today. At only 770mm wide and a little over 1500mm long, this Skidster is designed for high maneuverability and performance. The “Kanga Kid,” as it is affectionately known, is powered by a 16hp engine and can be fitted with either rubber wheels or tracks depending on what you need for the particular job. This gives you the power you need where you need it, such as working in dense urban areas. The company has developed a special line of quick hitch attachments that allow you to perform almost any type of work that you need to. This means labor savings, lower risk to workers and faster production time overall.

Nevertheless, the Kanga Line does not stop there. The series 8 is the largest and most powerful machine offered by Kanga. It is driven by a 25hp motor and is designed for heavy duty lift and long reach. Yet the unit is designed to be easily transportable with standard trailers. The series 8 comes with a two-speed, maintenance-free transmission and it is covered by a complete lifetime warranty. That means control over the power you need and a drastic reduction in operating costs. The Kanga line of quick hitch attachments is unique in that they allow operators to change attachments on the fly. A single worker can do more work than an entire crew can with just a few attachments lying in wait. The Skidster is the “jeep” of the construction world and they are used for almost everything that hand-controlled, hydraulic equipment has done in the past. This means less worker strain, and more production per pound spent.
