Small yet powerful
When it comes to track loaders and skid steers, it’s the big guys — the ones that pack upwards of 300-horsepower and can handle over 20 tons — that usually get all the glory. But no one should underestimate compact track loaders like the ASV RT-25, which proves that size matters — just probably not in the way you’d think. Small and nimble, yet powerful, the RT-25 is an asset to any rental fleet due to its ability to be easily transported to and from job sites.
Performs landscaping jobs effectively
The RT-25 is a favourite among renters, from the weekend warrior landscaping a backyard to construction companies temporarily needing a smaller piece of equipment for a job in a tight space. With its power, speed and size, it can perform in any number of jobs and can be used with virtually any frontal attachments or tools.
Landscapers choose the RT-25 due to its ability to work in small, tight spaces, and for its smooth turf track that minimises the risk of damage to surfaces like yards, golf course greens and sidewalks. It’s also frequently used by companies that have to keep walkways free of snow for safety purposes, because its small width and lower weight make it the perfect size for sidewalks.
Endless possibilities
But the possibilities don’t end there. Its versatility and ability to perform a variety of jobs, gives the RT-25 a diverse customer base and is a key addition to any rental fleet. “ASV is all about making machines that do more things in more places and that definitely applies to the RT-25,” said Steve Gatti, national sales manager for ASV.
Easy to operate and transport for just about anyone
The RT-25 is a preferred track loader among renters and rental fleet owners alike, because it’s so easy to operate, transport, maintain and service. Not only is it readily available to everyone from homeowners to construction professionals, but it can easily be hauled behind a half-ton pickup or mid-size SUV.
It’s also easy to operate with standard dual-joystick pilot controls and a set-it-and-forget-it throttle. “For today’s kids coming off an X-box, it’s a pretty quick learning curve,” quipped Buck Storlie, ASV project line manager.
The perfect choice for renters
Rental fleet owners appreciate how easy the RT-25 and its Perkins engine are to maintain and service. The standard exhaust system means standard maintenance and no high-dollar parts to buy. And easy access to the oil and air filters allows for simple service.
The Perkins-powered ASV RT-25 compact track loader may be small, but it’s definitely mighty. It delivers more than its looks suggest, is easy to transport and operate and can perform in small spaces other machines can’t, making it a perfect choice for renters.
“ASV is all about making machines that do more things in more places and that definitely applies to the RT-25.”
