Croba STL1000 Mini Track Loader Brings Power, Affordability and Smarter Design to the Jobsite

The construction equipment market continues to evolve, with demand for compact yet powerful solutions growing rapidly. Croba has taken another step forward with the launch of the STL1000 Stand-On Compact Track Loader, a machine designed to combine affordability, advanced technology, and practical performance for contractors, landscapers, and property managers.

Priced at $22,999, the STL1000 features a 25-horsepower Kubota D1105 diesel engine and integrates trusted components from global suppliers such as Bondioli & Pavesi, Hutchinson, Walvoil, and Faster. With a 1,000-pound rated operating capacity at 35% tipping load, a hinge pin height of 83.5 inches, and 19.2 inches of reach, it delivers serious lifting and loading power in a compact frame. At just under 36 inches wide without the standard bucket, it easily passes through doorways and can be transported on a standard trailer, making it ideal for tight-access jobsites.

Operators will find thoughtful design across the machine. Turf tracks with only 4.12 psi of ground pressure help protect delicate surfaces, while ergonomic pilot controls ensure precise movements of the boom and bucket. The ride-on platform provides excellent visibility, and a 4.3-inch color LCD monitor displays machine metrics. Safety has been built in with features like electromagnetic locks, emergency safety handles, and lift arm bypass controls.

The Croba STL1000 also stands out for its low maintenance design. Sealed rollers are oil-filled for continuous lubrication, while an electronic cooling fan automatically regulates hydraulic oil temperature. All routine service points are accessible under the hood, minimizing downtime. MechMaxx, the brand behind Croba, backs the machine with a one-year warranty on the loader and a two-year or 2,000-hour warranty on the engine.

With distribution centers across California, Illinois, New Jersey, and Texas, the company offers fast nationwide delivery within the U.S. Expansion plans include a flagship New Jersey warehouse where customers will be able to test machines, receive training, and experience live demonstrations.

While the STL1000 highlights how compact equipment is becoming more capable and accessible, its long-term efficiency depends on the durability of its undercarriage. Strong track systems, rollers, and related components ensure stability, reduce wear, and maximize machine life.
