Articulation Plusâ„¢ Steering combines 30 degrees of standard articulation with 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering for improved maneuverability and tighter turns. This exclusive feature leads to a considerably higher full turn tipping load without excessive articulation, making it ideal for tighter job sites.

The spacious cab offers comfort with its adjustable high-back air suspension seat, optimal air conditioning, and ergonomic controls. The adjustable steering column, coupled with low-effort controls, ensures operator comfort even during long shifts. Ample storage and improved visibility enhance the all-day operator experience.
