Should You Choose a Tracked Material Handler?
When you need a material handler, you can choose a tracked material handler or a wheeled material handler. Overall, both perform the same functions — they are excellent at sorting materials, moving them across jobsites and working on multiple elevations, such as in building construction. Their long boom arms allow them to sort through large piles of material and debris quickly, and they are compatible with a wide selection of Cat® attachments, further improving their versatility. The right choice for you ultimately depends on your jobsite conditions:
- Wheeled material handlers are best for projects operating on solid ground, whether that is packed dirt or paved concrete. Smooth, stable ground improves wheel traction and maneuverability.
- Tracked material handlers will excel in more challenging environments involving uneven or shifting ground. Operating on tracks allows for more equipment stability, making it safer to use on muddy and difficult terrain.

From there, you’ll have direct access to our service team. When it’s time for preventive maintenance, we’ll come to you to complete it. And when you need repairs or replacement parts, we can help you with that, too.
