Miniloaders.com Debuts Intrepid KM180 Tele Compact Wheel Loader

Miniloaders.com, the U.S. importer and distributor of Intrepid Loaders, is introducing a new model to their line of compact wheel loaders – the KM180 Tele with a 2,535-pound capacity. This lightweight loader includes a telescoping boom that extends to 10.8 feet, making it suitable for loading materials into trailers, dumpsters, or over fences.

Equipped with a 43-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine and four independent hydraulic wheel motors, the loader offers ample torque for lifting and carrying heavy loads simultaneously. All operations, such as forward, reverse, auxiliary hydraulics, and boom control, can be managed using the joystick. The design also features a hand throttle for manual RPM adjustment and a foot pedal for inching.

Intrepid Loaders are compatible with various rotary attachments like augers and sweepers, thanks to their hydraulic hold/detent. The loaders come with a skid steer quick-attach mount plate, allowing users to utilize their existing attachments. With a length of 10.6 feet and a width of 59 inches, the KM180 Tele is easy to transport between job sites.

The loader’s design places the operator’s seat on top of the engine to eliminate tail swing during articulation, improving rear visibility. An optional dual-wheel system is available to enhance stability and reduce ground pressure on uneven terrain. Intrepid Loaders also offer add-ons like additional counterweights and a cabin with heating and air conditioning.

Intrepid Loaders have been available in the U.S. market since 2018 through Miniloaders.com’s distribution center in Cincinnati, Ohio, and authorized dealers nationwide. Manufactured by Geens Brothers in Belgium and sold under the Knikmops brand in Europe, the lineup includes models like the KM85, KM100 Tele, KM130 Tele, and KM250 Tele.
