- NOVEMBER 2004 - Lodal Inc., of Kingsford, Michigan, was an early competitor in the front loader market, and offered a unique alternative to the standard fork-grappling by way of a triangular coupler. This method of coupling containers allowed the truck to approach and lock in the container from varying angles. Lodal currently makes front loaders as well as the famous Evo unitized side loaders. Thanks to Walter Lewellen who provided these images from an old Lodal brochure. 11/6/04 © 2004 Eric Voytko All Rights Reserved Photos from factory brochures/advertisements except as noted Logos shown are the trademarks of respective manufacturers |
