nwmax.jpgOn stand DAA31/DAA33 stand this year is the world market leader in wheeled pedestrian micro dumpers, the muck-truck. Designed in the UK for British ground conditions the muck-truck is powered by the reliable and easy-starting Honda GXV160 5.5hp engine and has a ¼ tonne payload with a 6cu ft bucket/skip.

All machines have the quick changing facility to fit accessories such as a flat bed capable of carrying up to120 bricks. The flat bed also allows awkward heavy loads such as bags of cement, rolls of turf and slabs to be moved without the risk of injury.

The truck also features sealed for life transmission, easy maintenance, and can also be fitted with a new design ball hitch allowing you to tow or pull loads easily without removing the hopper. Muck-truck is also introducing a new design vacuum attachment.

Built to a high specification the muck-truck has three forward speeds and reverse, plus four-wheel drive.

Launched at Saltex this time is the new mucktruck 'BIZZY'. This is a re-introduction due to consumer demand of this popular product featuring a sturdy poly bucket and powered by a 6.5hp Briggs &Stratton engine. The Bizzy has one forward and one reverse gear and is fitted with turf tyres as standard and an 8 cu. ft hopper.

Also on show will be the new mucktruck 'Max' Dumper truck, a new model providing 34% greater weight carrying capacity than the standard unit but maintaining the compact features that give the muck-truck such useful manoeuvrability and ability to pass through a standard doorway.
