Mini loaders are certainly becoming more versatile and widely used. The new Sherpa Z30 P110 not only boasts minimal dimensions, but also powerful performance and, it must be said, rather bold stylings.

The machine is one of five new models from Sherpa, all employing the same zippy aesthetic. The Z30 is powered by an air-cooled Honda gx380 petrol engine, achieving a breakout force of 726kg. The maximum height of the pallet forks is 2013mm and the max dumping height is 1661mm.

The 693kg unit has a wheelbase of 657mm and a turning radius of 1552mm. It is just 760mm wide when fitted with narrow tyres, meaning the machine will easily fit through narrow passages and garden gates – even with fatter tyres on, it is still just 1000mm wide.

The Z30 is well suited for smaller groundworks and domestic applications. Offering more power, the Sherpa Z-series range also includes two Z40 and Z50 variants. See the full range of Z skid-steers and other Sherpa equipment at:
