Articulation Plus™ Steering

Articulation Plus™ Steering combines 30 degrees of standard articulation with 10 degrees of rear-wheel steering for improved maneuverability and tighter turns. This exclusive feature leads to a considerably higher full turn tipping load without excessive articulation, making it ideal for tighter job sites.
