A hydraulically movable cabin ensures excellent visibility even when handling bulky objects. ML1812R is an environmentally friendly solution.
Less work machinery on your yard means less fuel consumed. It also means more open space and better visibility, resulting in improved safety and less damage to your cargo. ML1812R is easy to transport in a 20-feet container or on a swap body vehicle. It is designed to operate reliably in demanding conditions. Supported by worldwide-known components and easily accessible spare parts, ML1812R is a secure choice.
