To improve machine efficiency in nursery and landscape applications, Caterpillar has introduced new attachments for its range of Cat Skid Steer Loaders (SSL), Compact Track Loaders (CTL) and Compact Wheel Loaders (CWL).
These purpose-built attachments cover multiple tasks, including the handling and scooping of trees, shrubs and bushes, removing and carrying stumps, and loading mulch.
New Cat nursery fork, tree scoop bucket and 1 yd3 (0.76 m3) mulch bucket attachments improve machine utilization for Cat SSL, CTL and CWL models.
The new Cat stump buckets and nursery grapples are specifically designed to efficiently work with Cat SSL and CTL machines.
The full range of new attachments feature durable construction for reliability in the field, and deeply serrated steps integrated into attachment design deliver secure footing for operators when entering and exiting the loaders.
The new fitments include manual and hydraulic forks (ideal for handling ball and burlap trees); pivoting nursery grapple (suited for handling ball and burlap trees and potted plants); Mulch bucket (loads mulch into pickup trucks and tight spaces); Easily handle stumps (for land clearing and the removal of invasive trees; and Scoop trees (handles shrubs and small trees at nursery sites and in landscaping applications).
