Built in 1981, the Kanga compact Loader was the very first, commercially produced ‘stand-on’ compact skid steer loader. Originally designed as a motorised wheelbarrow, it developed into an earthmoving tool that has changed the face of the workplace for many industries - providing drilling augers, power heads, trenchers, buckets, and shifting & lifting attachments (just to name a few). The Kanga compact loader, also known as a mini skid steer loader, mini digger, or mini loader is designed and manufactured at Kanga’s purpose-built facility on the Gold Coast, in Australia. Kanga is distributed through an extensive, highly trained dealer network throughout Australia, USA, Europe, South Africa, and New Zealand.
