Manitou has introduced the 1950 RT compact track loader for lifting, transporting and material handling on construction sites. This 74-hp machine has a rated operating capacity of 1,950 lbs. and high-flow auxiliary hydraulics that make the machine compatible with high-power attachments.
“There’s demand for CTLs with a small footprint and horsepower levels that don’t require more extensive emissions solutions — while still delivering increased performance,” said Nathan Ryan, product line manager for skid steers and CTLs, Manitou. “The 1950 RT provides those added operating capacities without significantly increasing the size of the machine compared to more traditional small-framed loaders.”
The 1950 RT is built with numerous track widths and tread patterns to support stability and added counterweights for power and strength. The radial lift arm design enables ground engaging work. Added auxiliary hydraulic performance provides a platform for running a range of attachments.
The machine includes the IdealTrax track auto-tensioning system, a swing-out cooler that keeps the engine compartment clean and engine temperatures down, and the Manitou EasyMANAGER fleet management platform (telematics).
“We deliver premium features and added capacities in a footprint that is easy to transport, easy to maneuver on tight jobsites, and easy to operate,” said Ryan. “And it’s extremely easy to use and maintain for rental businesses and contractors where power and simplicity is favored without significantly increasing the size of the machine.”
