Wolf America Wheel Loaders Launch in America. Who Are They? Let’s Find Out
Here comes a brand new brand you might not know about. Wolf America is the exclusive U.S. distributor of Wolf equipment. The companies are introducing a line of wheel loaders to the American market. Wolf America’s goal is to provide affordable, high-performance construction machinery for industries such as snow and ice management, construction, landscape, ag and rental. Small wheel loaders in general continue to be a focal point for American-selling brands — from Cat’s recent 903 revamp to the electrified Volvo L20 and L25 models. Wolf America is positioning itself as a player with these other brands. Their range of wheel loaders, including mini and small articulated models, caught our collective eye. So, let’s take a look at Wolf America wheel loaders.
Wolf America: A Strategic Partnership for U.S. Customers
Wolf America is the exclusive distributor for Wolf equipment, a well-established Chinese brand that has been producing construction machinery since 2011. Wolf’s products are sold in over 130 countries, proving the company’s international reach and success. With its new U.S. presence, Wolf America brings a unique mix of affordability and versatility to the wheel loader market. Wolf America is particularly focused on introducing mini wheel loaders and small articulated loaders (SALs) to the U.S. market. These machines offer a combination of compact design and powerful performance. They also offer impressive flexibility, making them ideal for a wide range of applications. From the press release:
“For businesses looking to expand their equipment fleet without breaking the bank, these wheel loaders can provide some peace of mind,” said Aron Rodman, owner of Wolf America. “Our machines deliver impressive power and performance, and they’re a great option for those who need reliable equipment and would like to use the additional capital saved elsewhere.”
The WL200: A Perfect Blend of Affordability, Power and Performance
Powered by a 74-hp Cummins turbo diesel engine, Wolf America’s WL200 delivers impressive strength for the most demanding jobs. Weighing in at 12,125 lbs and capable of reaching speeds up to 18 mph, the WL200 offers four-wheel drive and ergonomic joystick controls for smooth, efficient operation. Standard features like an air ride seat, ride control, heat/AC, bucket float, auxiliary hydraulics and an engine warmer ensure comfort and convenience on any jobsite. Plus, the loader’s standard quick hitch enhances its versatility, making it an essential tool for a variety of applications.
Mini Wheel Loaders: Small in Size, Big on Performance
One of the standout machines in Wolf America’s lineup is the Mini 780H compact wheel loader. Powered by a 25-hp Kubota engine, this mini loader has a gross weight of just 5,510 lbs, making it a powerhouse in a compact form. It is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission that provides smooth power and efficiency. The Mini 780H is designed for construction and agricultural tasks, offering 360-degree visibility for better precision and ease of operation. Its standard quick hitch and variety of compatible attachments, such as buckets, forks, and augers, make it a versatile tool for any jobsite.
Small Articulated Loaders (SALs): A Game-Changer for Compact Construction Equipment
For those in need of ultra-compact equipment that can handle tough jobs without the heavy footprint, Wolf America offers what we call small articulated loaders or SALs. These loaders feature an articulating frame and offer many of the same benefits as their larger articulating wheel loader cousins. They are particularly effective in applications where traditional machines like skid steers or mini track loaders might struggle.
SALs are designed to be lighter on delicate surfaces. This makes them ideal for urban construction sites or agricultural areas where the ground may be sensitive. Their articulation also helps reduce tire wear and fuel consumption, while improving visibility and maneuverability. These Mini 750T and Mini 750 models are excellent examples of SALs in the Wolf America lineup.
The Mini 750T: Compact and Ready for Tough Jobs
The Mini 750T is a telescopic loader that combines superior performance with a compact design. Powered by a 25-hp Perkins engine, the Mini 750T weighs just 3,240 lbs. It has a height to the hinge pin of 10 ft, 5 in. Its telescopic arm and hydraulic quick hitch make it adaptable for a range of attachments. This provides maximum flexibility on the jobsite. Whether on the farm or at a construction site, the design of this loader enables it to take on a variety of tasks with ease
The Mini 750: Small Yet Powerful
The Mini 750 is a smaller version of the 750T but still packs plenty of punch for compact construction work. With a 25-hp Perkins engine, a gross weight of 3,240 lbs and a height to hinge pin of 8 ft, 4 in, this SAL loader is perfect for maneuvering in tight spaces while still offering impressive load capacities. Like the 750T, it comes with a 360-degree visibility cabin, making it an ideal choice for precision tasks on farms or job sites.
