The standard L-Muva model is equipped with a 4m x 2m, with the opportunity to attach an extender tray, scissor lift, a removable half cab, and a light crane, minimising one use machinery onsite.

The machine was recently trialled in a localGoldfields underground minesite, returning positive feedback on its appearance, versatility and it’s potential in underground mining.

Now, the Managing Director of L-Muva has a machine available to purchase with low hours, ex-demonstration out of Kalgoorlie.
Its skid steer design provides better manoeuvrability with a capability of turning 360* within 4.5m area making the machine suitable for applications where transit space is limited, such as mining, civil construction sites and bulk storage facilities.
