Sherpa has marked a major step in its compact articulated loader range with the launch of the F50, the most powerful model the company has produced to date.

The F50 is built to deliver strength without sacrificing manoeuvrability.

Capable of lifting 3,858 pounds, it features a dual-arm boom that provides strong breakout forces while maintaining a compact footprint. This makes it both transportable and suitable for work in tighter spaces where larger machines may struggle.

“With the introduction of the F50, the Sherpa lineup is complete – from our compact Sherpa 100 for light, precise tasks to this new powerhouse. There’s now a Sherpa for every job,” the company says.

“The F50 fills the final gap in our range: a compact articulated loader with more power, without stepping away from our vision of quality, simplicity, and reliability. It’s the model we were missing.”

The Sherpa F50 runs on a 25-horsepower Kubota V1505 engine with a two-speed drive, enabling it to reach speeds of up to 24 km/h while handling various loading tasks.

Sherpa has also prioritised stability and visibility in the F50’s design.

A low pivot point and reinforced frame help the loader maintain balance on uneven ground or when managing awkward loads. The lowered front frame improves the operator’s line of sight to the attachment, boosting both safety and accuracy.

Flexibility is another focus. The F50 comes standard with a quick coupler, while buyers can opt for two external hydraulic functions for added versatility. Sherpa also supplies more than 50 compatible attachments, including buckets, hydraulic breakers, pallet forks, and roller brooms.

Operator comfort has not been overlooked. A low, spacious entry point and adjustable steering column make access straightforward, while intuitive controls are designed to reduce fatigue during long working hours.

With the F50 now joining the lineup, Sherpa says it can meet the needs of operators across the spectrum, from precision work to heavy-duty handling.
