Texas-based importer and distributor MiniLoaders.com (formerly CompactGiant) started distribution of its Intrepid KM100 series compact wheel loaders.

“We will sell our Intrepid loaders in the green industry primarily,” said Chris Sleurink, company manager. “Landscapers and arborists value the articulated steering, high lift capacity and low maintenance costs the Intrepids offer compared to skid-steers.”

Built by Belgian manufacturer Knikmops, the 25-hp Kubota engine-powered loader uses articulated steering.

The machine will come in two variants: a standard boom Intrepid KM100 and the Intrepid KM100 Tele, which features a telescoping boom.
