Oh yea the material handler is pretty cool to :D . I saw this sitting at a truck stop and had never heard of one before. Imagine my shock :eek: when I found out it was made right here in Wisconsin. I'd like to see someone put those wheels on an suv. I took two pictures but the operators side was right into the sun so it didn't turn out.

I think that those are just solid rubber tires. That's why they're low pro.

looks cool but that cab design looks like a recipie for destruction. lowering it that far to the ground and that out in the open leaves it very vulnerable to getting rammed into by another machine.

The cab elevates hydraulically when working. It's only on the ground when the machine is idle.

Love the elevating cab, wish my excavator had one. However, after scouring the Exodus website, i have one question. What does this machine bring to the table that others do not? What problems does it solve?

You didn't mention where you saw it, but it could well be going to ConExpo in Vegas. It will be held March 22-26.
