The principle

Swap toolsinstead of buying more machines.

At the front of the Minimog sits a CII quick-attach mounting. In a few minutes, the loader becomes a mulcher, a drilling rig, a forklift or a hedge cutter.

20+ attachmentsFor Minimog mini skid steers

  • 01One mounting for everythingThese attachments use the CII quick-attach mounting of the Minimog mini skid steers. We check with you beforehand whether your machine's hydraulics are up to the job.
  • 02Changed in 2 minutesDrive up, hook in, lock, connect the hoses. No tools needed, and you only step off briefly.
  • 03Couplings with pressure releaseA valve releases the residual pressure in the lines. That way the quick couplings connect easily, stay firmly in place at work and come apart when they should.
  • 04Low flow and high flowLow flow is the small oil circuit for movements: closing a grab, turning tongs. High flow delivers the large oil flow for everything that rotates: mulchers, grinders, augers. Pressure determines the force, oil flow the speed.
  • up to200barat the quick couplings
  • up to80l/minoil flow on the SAM 1950
  • up to400barin the Poclain travel drive of the VMENG models
  • Hydraulics from leading brands

  1. Tell us briefly what it's aboutAccess, ground conditions and what needs moving.
  2. We give you a calland work out which machine and attachment suit you.
  3. We bring the machine to youand you try it out on a real job.

Demonstration slots are limited, because every demonstration takes place on a real job.

Frequently askedquestions.

Anything else? Give us a call: +49 2747 9121752

Will the Minimog fit through my garden gate?

The narrowest models are 900 mm (Derette V1000) and 915 mm (VMENG VM1000) wide. Tell us your narrowest point and we'll tell you which machine fits through.

Can I try the machine first?

Yes. We bring the Minimog to you, within 150 km of Elkenroth, and you work with it on your own ground. Only then do you decide.

Which attachments fit my machine?

The attachments go on the CII quick-attach mounting. Whether a mulcher or grinder suits your machine depends on the hydraulics. We clarify that with you beforehand.

Can I buy, finance or hire?

All three. For finance and leasing we work with partners, and you can hire by the day, at the weekend or for the whole project.

How does the machine get to the site?

The compact models travel on a car trailer with a suitable towing capacity. That way you can quickly move the machine to wherever the next job is waiting.

Who takes care of maintenance and spare parts?

We do. In our workshop in Elkenroth we service and repair the machines, and we keep the parts that are regularly replaced in stock.
