Mini skid steers for landscaping & garden construction

Small at the gate.Big in the garden.

In landscaping, material is often moved several times before it ends up where it belongs. The Minimog carries the pallet right up to where it's laid, loads, levels and tidies up afterwards, and narrow models make access easier. We check access, attachment and side clearance together with you.

Sound familiar?

Good contracts.Too much hauling.

In landscaping, profit is rarely decided by the contract itself but by the time lost on site. It usually happens at these points.

  1. Paving work
    01"Every stone gets carried."

    Whoever lays paving should be laying paving. Instead, half the crew is busy carrying stones back and forth, and the daily output keeps shrinking.

  2. Soil in a wheelbarrow
    02"Everything goes by wheelbarrow."

    Big bags, pallets and spoil are moved several times until everything is in the right place. Everyone is busy, yet the site hardly moves forward.

  3. Cutting a hedge by hand
    03"The hedge is cut by hand."

    Long hedges and tall crowns take time, and then the cuttings still have to go. You can often only bill part of these hours to the customer.

Will the Minimog fit through your access?

    The solution

    Small enough for the gate.Strong enough for the building site.

    The Minimog carries the pallet to where it's being laid, loads and levels with the 4-in-1 bucket and cuts with the hedge cutter on the boom. That lets your people focus on building instead of hauling material.

    Which attachments do I need first?

    For most businesses, pallet forks and a 4-in-1 bucket are the start. Everything else depends on your most frequent jobs.

    Does the mini skid steer replace a mini digger?

    For loading, hauling and levelling, yes. For deep digging, a Rippa mini digger is the better tool – we have those too.

    Can I hire first?

    Yes – for a day, a weekend or the whole project, with an attachment if you wish.
