Maximize Track Loader Versatility - Attachments and options boost compact track loader performance

摘要

There seems to be no end in sight. Since the introduction of the first compact track loaders in the late 1980s, their popularity has only grown. While no industry numbers are readily available, ASV, Inc. estimates that in 1995, sales for the entire rubber track loader market grew to USD10 million in total revenue. Now, 10 years later, it expects industry sales to finish at USD700 million. "This may seem extraordinary," says Brad Lemke, director of product development at ASV, Inc. "But it's only the tip of the iceberg. Company projections show that the rubber track market will draw near to the same revenue as skid-steer loaders: (1) approximately USD2 billion a year; (2) in the near future. From there, we expect it will exceed skid-steer loader sales in total revenue."
