G’day everyone, I'm the manager of Intermercato Grapples and Schaffer Loaders Australia. We are a family run business importing quality grapples, grabs and rotators for cranes and excavators from Sweden, see www.grapples.com.au for more details. We also run as Schaffer Loaders Australia - German built industrial quality mini loaders, mini diggers, front end loaders, wheel loaders and rough terrain forklifts. The smaller articulated loaders are an alternative to the skid steers that dominate the Australian industry. Schaffer loaders are rapidly reversing this trend as operators find out about all the benefits of a compact loader. We are finding many landscapers, earthmovers, councils and arborists and other industry groups are looking for an alternative to skid steers. They want a loader that doesn’t screw up the ground that they are working on. Skid steers skid to turn so can even rip up asphalt, so its pretty obvious what happens when you do a sharp turn in a backyard, leading to time wasted top dressing when it could be put towards the next job. We offer the best loader on the market, with the best back up and service. A big difference when you call us is that when you become a customer we know who you are, even if we have only met over the phone. So you are not treated like a number, we give personal service. We understand your machine is often your livelihood so timely backup is essential.
