Ingersoll Rand added compact wheel loaders to its line with the WL-350 and WL-440. Transverse-mounted engine and hydraulic pump at the rear give these loaders a high static tipping load, the company says. Straight tipping load is 11,731 pounds for the WL-350; 14,620 pounds for the WL-440. WL-350's operating weight is 11,240 pounds with a 1.2-cubic-yard bucket and 60-hp engine. The 73-hp WL-440 weighs 12,230 pounds with a bucket of 1.4 cubic yards. Hydrostatic drive, parallel loader linkage, and limited-slip differential are standard features. Estimated list price: $55,000 to $75,000.
