Municipal tool carrier
A carrier that changes equipment with the seasons:
sweeping, mowing, weed control, snow clearing, salting.
Its versatility is real, its interchangeability less so:
the equipment often follows the make of the carrier.
Other names for this machine: municipal tractor, multi-purpose tool carrier, road maintenance machine.
- Category
- Depending on the machine; most often outside CACES R.482A
- Status
- Direct carrier of attachments
What it does
the council buys a carrier once, and tools as the seasons go by.

A carrier designed to change equipment with the seasons:
sweeping, mowing, weed control, snow clearing, salting.
What it does not do. Each piece of equipment is generally specific to the make of the carrier.
Interchangeability there is less open than on an excavator.
it covers the whole year, not one season.

What governs the fitting of an attachment
-
The category of the three-point linkage
The categories are not interchangeable.
It is the first point of compatibility, before any consideration of power. - The power take-off Its speed and its direction of rotation govern the working of the driven tool.
- The number and flow of the hydraulic spool valves A tool that needs two simultaneous functions needs two spool valves.
- The lift capacity It is read at the ball ends and falls off as soon as you move away from them.
-
Connecting an excavator tool
It is not direct.
It goes through a mounting plate or an adapter, and that part is part of the study.
One model, as a reference point
The values below hold for this model only.
They are there to give an order of magnitude to anyone who has none, not to serve as a reference.
- Maximum authorised weight
- 5 700 kg
- Payload
- 2 700 kg
- Engine power
- 110 kW, that is 150 hp at 3,500 rpm
- Hydraulics
- 3-way circuit, 80 l/min at 200 bar maximum
- Working speed
- 12 km/h, 70 km/h on the road
Caveat. The manufacturer announces more than 300 combinations of equipment through a quick coupler.
That interchangeability holds within its own catalogue:
it does not extend to excavator tools without an intermediate part.

These values are those of one precise model, at one precise date. They do not describe a category:
there are no characteristics of a compact loader in general, there are those of the model you have.
They change from one year to the next and never replace the data sheet of your machine.

Give us the exact model and the work you have in mind.
We check
the coupler, the flow, the pressure and the capacity on your machine,
and we tell you what fits on it — and what does not.
