The Skimtrak is a purpose built unit for the skimming of granular materials (sand, salt etc.) to a fixed depth. It can also load the material into a following dumper truck or other suitable load carrier. The skid steer hydrostatic transmission enables exceptional manoeuvrability. Transportation from site to site is easy as the machine is very compact and lightweight.
