Compact skid-steer loader S86-2

with cab

Overview
The large-frame S86-2 skid-steer loader delivers increased lift height and engine output for demanding loading and material-handling tasks. It combines a 3.7 m (12 ft) lift reach, a 115 HP (85.8 kW) powertrain, and design refinements that preserve breakout force and rated operating capacity while easing loading of high-sided trucks. An 8-inch touchscreen with integrated camera views and four selectable drive modes improves control and situational awareness.
