A mid-range capacity model, the Hercules is the market's most popular class of machine to date. Designed with floating axles to ensure 4 points of contact on the rail at all times, and an ergonomically designed cab to provide operator comfort, the Hercules is an optimum solution for many operations. The Hercules can be ordered with a Full-Width Cab option, allowing for a narrower profile and providing a superior solution for maneuvering in tight spaces.
