Skid-steer Loaders
Mini
skid steer
Compact Power introduces
its newest model to the Boxer lineup, the 532DX mini-skid. The
track-driven 532DX diesel unit is designed for the landscaping, rental
and construction markets. Like the Boxer 526DX, the 532DX offers an
integrated track system that retracts from a fully extended 43.5-inches
to a width of 35 inches, and is easily controlled by a joystick on the
control panel. The variable track design is designed to facilitate the
ability to maneuver the 532DX through tight areas, such as gates and
sidewalks, and then extend back to full width for increased stability
while in operation.
