Built for Tight Spaces
The S490's narrow 1089mm width slips through standard gateways and greenhouse aisles with room to spare. Measuring just 1949mm without bucket, it transports easily on trailers or between job sites. The wheel tire configuration provides smooth operation on paved surfaces while maintaining traction in loose soil—ideal for mixed-use environments like nurseries, stables, and small construction projects.
Load Bigger, Work Harder
Don't let the size fool you: the S490 lifts 400kg max force and carries 300kg rated load in its 0.12m³ bucket. The 2466mm max working height and 1382mm dumping height mean you can load trucks and hoppers without struggle. Operators searching for "high tipping height compact loader" or "small loader with big reach" will appreciate the engineering behind this machine.
