"The 1150 Taskmaster mini-skid is our most powerful mini-skid to date, yet it remains easy to operate, and features swing-away hydraulic and gas tanks for trouble-free servicing," says Trilby Henderson, advertising and promotions coordinator for Leon's Mfg. "The 1150 also features easy, single-hand palm steering, allowing the operator to control speed, direction and steering with the right hand while controlling the loader and attachments with the left."

Compact excavator
Takeuchi's new 12,450-pound TB153FR zero-swing compact excavator combines the advantages of a zero-tail-swing excavator with a side-to-side offset boom system to give the operator the ability to slew 360 degrees within inches of the machine width. The unit also features an interference prevention system that controls the boom's range of motion to prevent the bucket from contacting the operator's station.

Compact excavator
The 27SR-3, 30SR-3, 35SR-3 and 50SR-3 compact excavators from Kobelco Construction Machinery America are designed for smaller scale excavation needs. The combination of zero-tail swing and center-boom swing gives the operator the maneuverability needed to dig anywhere around the excavator and deposit material precisely with minimal repositioning. Whether digging footers, ripping up concrete or performing general excavating work, the zero-tail-swing design allows the SR-3 Series excavators to move and work in close quarters without damaging the machine or the jobsite.
