Root balls, container stock, pallets and bulk mulch, often with customers walking past.
Short answer
Nurseries and garden centers can use the STAG Beetle 100 to move balled-and-burlapped and container stock, load customer trucks over its 86 in. hinge pin height, and scoop bulk mulch and soil. It is quiet and produces no exhaust, so staff can keep working during open hours. Check heavy root balls against its rated capacity of about 1,090 lb.
