Your crew is ready to work. The job is scheduled. Then reality hits: your equipment can’t access the site.
Soft ground. Narrow easements. Backyards. Right-of-way work in challenging terrain. Chassis-based trucks can sink into it and get stuck. And suddenly, what should be a day’s work becomes a multi-day headache if you can even access the site.
This is where most contractors face a hard choice: rent specialized equipment, delay the project, or risk damage to valuable assets. But there’s a better way.
The Problem With Conventional Easement Solutions
Traditional easement equipment was designed for accessible job sites. They excel on solid ground and open spaces. The reality of modern utility and tree care work requires access to tight spaces where mobility is just as important as reach.
When your equipment can’t reach the worksite, you lose money. Your crew idles. Your reputation can take a hit, especially on backyard jobs where access is already limited. Moreover, safety suffers when operators improvise workarounds with equipment that wasn’t designed for the terrain.
Backyard Equipment that Actually Works: The Outback Series
Load King Manufacturing, backed by 65+ years of industry expertise, engineered the Outback Series specifically for backyard, easement, and right-of-way applications where conventional equipment fails.
The result? Your crew accesses harder-to-reach sites, completes jobs on schedule, and works safely in challenging environments.
Your Outback Options
Digger Derricks are workhorses for utility and construction applications. The 35-48DR features pin-on basket options, a 46-kV fiberglass inner boom, and full radial outriggers with optional electronic auger release and a standard radio remote control. The heavier-duty 77-55D is mounted to a Load King tracked carrier for maximum capability in demanding terrain-ideal when you need serious power in soft ground.
Bucket trucks are necessary for utility line clearance and forestry tree care. The 35-53B delivers versatile performance for utility and tree care applications with solid reach and stability. For contractors needing more reach options, the 35-61B and 35-64B provide expanded working heights to handle demanding jobs. The 35MT-74BE reaches 74 feet with a 55-ft telescopic boom and power-swing-out outriggers for operator safety and ease of use.
For tight spaces? The 28SC-30 Easement Crane redefines what’s possible. With a 7,000-pound capacity and 30-foot boom, it lifts 3,000 pounds at 15 feet, and its ultra-slim design fits through 30-inch door openings. Need electric power? It’s available as an all-electric option.
The Game-Changer: Max Trax Technology
Here is what sets Outback apart: Max Trax, a new carrier system offering a wider 68-inch track stance for industry-leading stability and safety. This wider footprint isn’t just about comfort-it’s about access and confidence. It enables your crew to work safely in areas where conventional equipment can’t operate.
Max Trax means fewer project delays, fewer safety concerns, and more jobs completed on time and on budget.
Making the Right Choice
Choosing the right backyard equipment and easement solutions depends on your specific needs:
- Job type: Utility pole work? Tree care? General construction?
- Terrain challenges: Soft ground? Narrow access points? Steep slopes?
- Reach requirements: How high or far do you need to reach?
- Frequency: Is this a one-time need or a regular application?
The ROI calculation is straightforward: one versatile Outback machine often eliminates the need for multiple conventional trucks and rental equipment. You invest in capability that pays dividends across diverse job sites.
Load King backs every Outback with its standard warranty, plus a dedicated parts and support team based in Kansas City to keep your equipment running.
The Bottom Line
Backyard equipment and easement equipment aren’t one-size-fits-all. The best choice is one that matches your actual job conditions, not the ideal ones. Outback Series machines are engineered for real-world challenges: tight spaces, rugged terrain, and the demands of modern jobsites.
Your crew deserves equipment that gets to work. Outback makes that possible.
