Muck-truck introduces a skip-loading ramp into its range to increase the work rate of the Muck-truck on construction sites.

The ramp folds for storage and transportation and therefore also offers the rental market an opportunity to benefit from the hire of this useful tool. Manufactured by Muck-truck from mild steel and combining lightness with strength, the ramp is quick and easy to erect and means the operator of the truck can unload the hopper by driving up the ramp and simply discharging the contents into the skip below. No effort, simple and quick.

One operator using two Muck-trucks on site servicing a digger along with a loading ramp means the digger doesn’t stop digging and the earth doesn’t stop moving, there is no downtime, no waiting at all, simple logistics.

The Muck truck has a carrying capacity of 6 cu ft. (220 litres) and can climb up to 30 degrees carrying a quarter of a ton. Other attachments include loading ramp, flat bed, extension sides, ball hitch and snow blade.

Emphasis has been put on easy maintenance with the brake and belt adjustments not requiring any removal of covers and all engine maintenance including plug and air filter replacement is instantly accessible. Powered by a Honda 5.5hp commercial engine, the Muck-truck has four-wheel drive with four forward and one reverse gear and can be fitted with a choice of quick-fit attachments.
