Integrated pallet forks come as standard, further increasing machine versatility and allowing the 3CX Sitemaster to undertake a wide variety of material handling tasks without additional equipment.
Return-to-Dig functionality improves loading efficiency by automatically returning the bucket to the optimum digging position.
