Only 980 mm Wide – Fits Through Garden Gates

Only 980 mm Wide – Fits Through Garden Gates

At only 980 mm wide and 1 965 mm high, the MCM CL30 drives through garden gates, stable doors and narrow side yards where bigger loaders cannot go. The articulated chassis steers through 40°, with an outer tyre radius of just 1 986 mm, so it turns around in tight spaces, and 250 mm of ground clearance keeps it moving over uneven ground.

Telescopic Boom Dumps At 2.15 m

Telescopic Boom Dumps At 2.15 m

The self-levelling telescopic boom handles a 500 kg rated load and dumps at up to 2 150 mm with the boom extended (1 620 mm retracted), high enough to load a trailer. A maximum breakout force of 950 kg digs into soil and gravel, and the floating function lets the bucket follow the ground for smooth levelling.

Over 60 Attachments – One Machine, Many Jobs

Over 60 Attachments – One Machine, Many Jobs

With more than 60 attachments on its hydraulic quick-attach plate, the CL30 becomes a trencher, post-hole digger, forklift, leveller, sweeper, concrete mixer or hedge trimmer in seconds. Two-speed hydraulic flow control and a front auxiliary hydraulic output run the hydraulic attachments, so one machine covers landscaping, farm and building work all year round.

Yanmar 3TNV82A Diesel With 4WD Hydrostatic Drive

Yanmar 3TNV82A Diesel With 4WD Hydrostatic Drive

A Yanmar 3TNV82A three-cylinder, direct-injection diesel delivers 21.9 kW (29.8 hp) at 3 000 rpm and meets EPA Tier 3 / EU Stage III. Power goes through a fully hydrostatic four-wheel drive with a top speed of 12 km/h, making the CL30 an all-terrain workhorse on grass, sand and rough ground.

MCM CL30 Compact Loader

I have a few attachments for my CL30. Grapple, buckets, and forks. The grapple is very handy on the farm. There is always work to do on the farm that the CL30 can take care of. I get great service from MCM.

We use our CL30 very often on our different sites in Cape Town. Great advantage it being able to power so many different attachments. We've got the auger, leveler, buckets, and lift basket.
