Right Size for the Job

The HM16 fills the gap between mini loaders and full-sized construction machines. It is large enough to load trucks and shift bulk materials efficiently, yet compact enough to navigate residential driveways and narrow farm laneways. The articulated steering provides a tight turning radius that larger loaders cannot match in confined spaces.

Common Applications

  • Landscaping — moving mulch, soil, and gravel for residential and commercial projects
  • Small farms — loading hay bales, feed, and bulk fertiliser
  • Construction sites — shifting sand, aggregate, and excavated material
  • Road maintenance — loading and spreading base course and fill
  • Property maintenance — clearing debris, grading driveways, and stockpile management

Operator Comfort and Safety

The enclosed cabin with air conditioning protects operators from dust, heat, and rain across long shifts. A rear-view camera assists with reversing in busy yards. The hydraulic quick hitch (B2 type) enables fast swaps between bucket, pallet forks, and other attachments without leaving the seat.
