Wedoany.com Report-Mar 11, McHale Plant Sales, the official importers of Komatsu into Ireland, has confirmed the imminent availability of two new fully-redesigned Komatsu skid steer loaders, one on tracks and the other on wheels.
The two loaders were shown as prototypes at the bauma 2025 exhibition, where the 4t wheeled loader was simply badged as SK while the 5t tracked version was labelled the CK.
