Wheel loaders

Hire a skid steer loader and a wheel loader from Molse Bouwmachines

At Molse Bouwmachines, you can hire the full range of articulated loaders and wheel loaders: from compact Knikmops and Rolmops for smaller jobs to heavy wheel loaders of 13, 17, 20 and 25 tons for large sites. You choose the rental period yourself – from a day to long-term – and we deliver quickly to your site in and around Mol. Accessories such as a pelican bucket or rubble bucket can be hired immediately.

A kniklader and wiellader are very similar, often used interchangeably. They are wheeled vehicles with a front-mounted bucket used for loading materials. The key feature is their articulated steering, giving them a "knik" (articulation) in the middle, allowing for greater manoeuvrability. A "knikmops" and "rolmops" seem to be brand names or possibly colloquial terms that are not standard industry classifications. In the context of heavy machinery, "knikmops" is likely a brand name for a type of compact loader, often on wheels, and with articulated steering, similar to a smaller kniklader/wiellader. "Rolmops" is not a recognised term for construction machinery, and might be a completely unrelated word or a very specific, obscure term. It's possible it's a playful or regional variation.

A compact loader and a wheel loader are two terms for largely the same machine: a skid-steer loader with articulated steering, where the vehicle bends in the middle to allow for a short turning radius. In practice, "compact loader" is often used for the more compact, manoeuvreable models and "wheel loader" for the heavier versions from 6 tonnes upwards. A Knikmops and a Rolmops, in turn, are the smallest, most manoeuvreable compact loaders in our range — ideal for narrow passageways and smaller sites.

Roller and skid steer hire: the smallest skidsteers

For smaller jobs, garden landscaping or working on a tight site, hire the Roller or the Knikmops. You can rent the Knikmops in three versions: KM80, KM100 Yes KM130 (own weight 1.500 kg). View the full range on the page Knikmops.

Hire of 6-tonne compact loader/wheel loader

For medium-sized earthmoving and material transport on the construction site, you can hire from us the 6-tonne wheel loader (Kubota), a powerful yet compact machine. More info on the page Wheeled loader 6 ton.

Wheel loader 17 to 25 tonnes for heavier work

larger sites and heavier loads you hire a 17-tonne wheel loader or an 25-tonne wheel loader (Schäffer). Both are equipped to quickly move large quantities of soil, sand or debris. The full range can be found on the page Wheeled loader 17-25 ton.

Wheelloader hire 13 and 20 tonnes

Additionally, with us you also rent a 13-tonne wheel loader (Komatsu) and a Wheel loader 20 tonnes — two intermediate classes that offer that little bit more load capacity without switching to the heaviest models. View the pages 13-tonne wheel loader Yes Wheel loader 20 tonnes for the details.

Frequently asked questions about hiring a skid steer loader and a wheel loader

A compact loader is a small, articulated wheel loader.

Skid steer loaders and wheel loaders are two terms for largely the same type of machine: a wheeled loader with articulated steering, where the vehicle bends in the middle to allow for a short turning radius. In practice, "kniklader" is often used for the more compact and agile models, and "wiellader" for heavier versions weighing from 6 tonnes upwards.

A Knikmops is a type of compact, articulated wheel loader, often used in construction and agriculture. A Rolle mops is a type of pickled herring, typically a whole herring fillet rolled up and packed in brine or vinegar.

A Knikmops and a Rolmops are the smallest, most manoeuvrable articulated loaders in our range: compact machines that you deploy through narrow passageways and on smaller sites, for example, for landscaping. At Molse Bouwmachines, you can hire the Knikmops in three versions (KM80, KM100, KM130) and the Rolmops as a separate model.

What tonnage articulated loader or wheel loader do I need?

This depends on your job: for smaller sites and garden landscaping, a Knikmops or Rolmops is sufficient, for medium-sized earthmoving a 6-tonne wheel loader, and for heavier work, you would choose a wheel loader of 13, 17, 20 or 25 tonnes. If you're in doubt? Our team will be happy to advise you on the right model.

What attachments can I hire for a skid steer loader or wheel loader?

With Molse Bouwmachines you can also immediately rent accessories such as a pelican bucket, rubble bucket, sweeping brush with collection bin, grass divot clamp or paving slab clamp, matched to the model you are renting.

Do I need a special driving licence to operate a skid steer loader or a wheel loader?

That depends on the weight of the machine and where you'll be using it. Our team will gladly advise you on what you specifically need for your project, so you can get started safely and in order.

Do you deliver the compact loader or the wheel loader to the construction site?

Yes, Molse Bouwmachines will deliver and collect your machine from the building site. The transport cost depends on the distance — an overview can be found on our page Transportation fees, or ask when ordering.
