Don't let their small size fool you. Our G-Series small-frame skid steer loaders (SSLs) and compact track loaders (CTLs) deliver, big time. Our lineup includes the value-packed basic models: the 312GR and 314G SSLs. Or if it's a more powerful, better-equipped skid steer you're seeking, step up to the 316GR and 318G. Going beast mode? Check out the 317G CTL with amped-up specs. To help make sure we're continuing to meet your unique needs, we recently added a few customer-inspired enhancements to our existing G-Series small-frame models. Read on to learn about the good things we've included in these compact packages.
HIT THE ROAD
With weights from only 5,905 to 8,423 pounds, these compacts are easy to trailer behind a standard pickup truck. A new second rear tie-down as well as one at the front of the machine make it even easier to get rolling.
POWER LIFTERS
These loaders rise high, pick up heavy loads, and deliver remarkable boom and bucket-breakout forces. And now you can add even more capacity with up to two sets of counterweights.
SEAL THE DEAL
Improved sealing and cab pressurization help keep the dust out and the noise down, so you can focus on work or enjoy the new hands-free Bluetooth® radio option.
GET A GRIP
Low-effort foot pedals are standard on skid steers. Electrohydraulic (EH) joysticks are standard on the 317G CTL, optional on the 316GR and 318G SSLs.
DAMAGE CONTROL
Auxiliary hydraulic lines and wiring are routed through the boom where they're protected from damage.
SEE CLEARLY
Excellent visibility can be further enhanced with an LED side-lighting option (316GR, 318G, and 317G CTL only). An optional rearview camera is available on all models as an alternate way to view the jobsite behind the machine.
BREATHE EASY
For year-round comfort, air conditioning is available in 316GR, 318G, and 317G CTL models. New to EH models, repositioned ducts and vents maximize airflow.
EASY CLEANOUT
Coolers are now latched and separate effortlessly without the need for tools, simplifying core cleanout. Cab side windows also remove easily for cleaning.
