STOLL rounds up the product line with the new FC 150 front loader
Small, but perfectly formed: The constructors at STOLL, the multinational front-loader specialist headquartered in Lengede near Hannover, have developed a new loader for smaller tractors between 15 and 25 HP in what is a first for STOLL in this section of the market. What is the background to this new development? Three STOLL representatives are on hand to answer questions:
A growing market for the smallest tractors between 15 and 25 HP underlines the need for front loaders
“If you look at tractor registrations, there is clear growth in the smallest vehicles sector. Whether gardeners, municipal service providers or even private individuals, looking after greenery or keeping horses: What they need is not only a mini-tractor, but a suitable front loader alongside, naturally to handle the everyday tasks as well as meet special challenges at times. When customers come to us, we offer a very wide line-up of tools: for example, log grapple, shovel and bushgrabs. Now, to meet all these different requirements, our colleagues have come up with the FC 150”, explains STOLL Marketing Coordinator Peter Witthus.
Quality is key: Exceptional fitting accuracy of attachments keeps customers loyal
Armin Walter, Head of Sales and Marketing at STOLL, expands on the topic of quality: “Our customers care about quality – when investing in a loader, they want to make the right choice and be assured of a long service life. This is achieved thanks to the precision fit of the attachments we have developed – for faster and easier assembly in our dealers’ workshops!”
Dedicated removable frame, available with or without parallel guidance
“Let’s go the whole way”, adds Frank Selent, Sales Manager for DACH and Poland: The new FC 150 comes with its own dedicated Skid Steer removable frame and a dedicated STOLL lock for the matching tool line-up. “We prioritise flexibility and versatility: We offer customers the FC 150 with or without parallel guidance. There is also a pin-on version without parallel guidance, for which the bucket is fitted with bolts.”
The new small unit handles it all: Korean companies Kioti and Tym have already opted for the FC 150 – with more makers set to follow.
