The Versatran Retriever - Another 4,000 lbs., No Problem


As someone who does business in the real world I'm sure you understand the value of simplicity.  If you've been involved in the product design process you also know that very often making something simple isn't easy.  Most of the time the first version is quite complicated, from that experience ways to simplify are developed, (if you have time).

Introduced in 2012 the 4th Generation (G4 Series) Retriever is the simplest, strongest, most efficient and easiest to use Retriever yet.  Among the many benefits of the 15-ton and 20-ton Retriever's simplicity is strength.  Retrievers are at least as strong as anything on the market in their respective class's and, at the same time, weigh 2,000 to 4,000 lbs less than conventionally designed products.  To you that means 2,000 to 4,000 lbs. more legal payload and that's what really matters.  Add to that near zero maintenance, never a hydraulic leak or spill, efficient operation no matter how cold it gets and the list goes on, what's not to like?

Give me a call, I'd love to talk with you about all of the advantages of Retrievers.
All the Best
