The forestry loader can be mounted in a central or rear position, on a removable platform or fixed to the reinforced chassis. The loading body can also be adapted to the operator’s needs. The transporter can be set up with rear tool carriers and tow hooks for transporting equipment like forestry winches, bio-shredders, and chippers.
Agricultural Set-up
Thanks to perfect weight balancing, low centre of gravity, and high load capacity, Caron transporters can operate safely in places otherwise inaccessible to conventional agricultural vehicles with trailers or towed equipment. Diverse configurations of hydraulic versions and power take-offs offer a wide variety of set-ups, fitted with equipment like hay loading wagons, slurry spreaders, and manure spreaders, interchangeable with loading beds designed for different transport needs.
Industrial Set-up
The extraordinarily versatile transporter is also perfect for use in the industrial sector, offering a wide range of customisation options for companies in the construction, civil services, and landscaping sectors, choosing equipment according to needs: hydraulic cranes, aerial platforms, strimmer arms, hydraulic hook modules, and sewage disposal systems are just a few examples of the tools that can be fitted.
Municipal Set-up
