Friends in High Places
Reach your potential with optional High-Lift

Combining our industry-exclusive Articulation Plus™ steering system with the optional High-Lift configuration available on the 324L and 344L, these highly adaptable multipurpose machines deliver head-turning maneuverability, sure-footed stability, and the speed you need to quickly get things done.
HIGH HOPES
With exceptional lift and height to hinge pin, the optional High-Lift configuration on the 324L and 344L helps make both models especially adept at repetitive dumping and stacking applications.
IN A TIGHT SPOT? TURN THINGS AROUND
Articulation Plus steering system combines 30 deg. of articulation with another 10 deg. of rear-wheel steer, reducing the articulation angle, for tighter, more stable turns.
KEEP THINGS MOVING
Travel speeds up to 25 mph on the 344L and 23 mph on the 324L help improve productivity on large jobsites.
ROOM TO MANEUVER
With expansive visibility, intuitive low-effort controls, and an optional heated air-ride high-back seat, the spacious cab offers plenty of comfort.
PARADIGM SHIFT
Load-sensing automatic shifting employs a proprietary software with "shift logic" that eliminates the need to constantly stop and shift, for smoother operation and maximum material retention.
CONVENIENT ONE-HAND CONTROL
Boom and bucket, F-N-R, and differential lock are controlled by the same low-effort joystick.
LEAD THE WAY
These loaders deliver a greater full-turn tipping load, a tighter turning radius, and more stability than comparable competitive articulation loaders.
KEEP YOUR COOL
Redesigned engine compartment and cooling package improve airflow and reduce the amount of debris entering the system.
DO YOUR LEVEL BEST
Loader arm and coupler create a near-parallel lifting path, improving load-carrying capability over previous models. A more-level load from ground to truck-bed height to full height requires fewer manual adjustments.
