Why is a laoder with a 180° swivel range indispensable on construction sites?
On tight construction sites in landscaping or urban canal construction, centimeters often determine the economic viability. While conventional wheel loaders hinder the flow of traffic and unnecessarily strain the ground with time-consuming maneuvering, the Paus swing loader Pro-Series offers the decisive solution. With a combination of articulated steering and a 180° swivel mechanism, you can perform loading and paving tasks flexibly parallel to the driving direction. A 4-point quick-change system also allows for the use of various attachments, enabling the swing loader to respond to changing jobsite requirements in seconds.
Swing more, save more. Time, space, and budget.
Swing Loader vs. Standard Wheel Loader: The Direct Comparison
The key difference between a swing loader and a standard wheel loader lies in the lift frame: a standard wheel loader can only steer or turn the entire machine to reposition the bucket. A swing loader, on the other hand, pivots its lift frame up to 180° independently of the direction of travel. This allows loading, backfilling, and material-handling tasks to be carried out parallel to the roadway — without constant maneuvering, with significantly less space required, and with less stress on the surface and surrounding area.
| Wheel loader | Paus swivel loader | |
|---|---|---|
| Working principle | Loading and unloading only in the direction of travel; changing direction requires turning the entire machine | Lift frame swings up to 180° independently of the direction of travel |
| Space requirement | Large turning and maneuvering area needed | Minimal maneuvering space thanks to the swing function and a 40° steering angle to each side |
| Maneuverability | Limited in narrow lanes, tight passages, and urban job sites | High maneuverability even on compact sites with minimal turning space |
| Protection of ground & surroundings | Frequent maneuvering stresses pavement, lawns, and freshly laid surfaces | Fewer driving and steering movements protect the ground, attachments, and surroundings |
| Typical applications | Open-area sites, open terrain, classic earthworks | Cable and pipeline construction, sewer construction, landscaping, road construction, confined urban job sites |
Thanks to high stability when handling heavy loads, both in extended and swung positions, and a wide range of compartible attachments, Paus telescopic swing loaders are ideal partners in the communal sector, construction, landscaping, underground engineering and cable construction.
In addition to standard applications with a bucket or pallet fork, this machine series demonstrate versatility in winter service, street maintenance, mulching, mowing and operating a sweeper. The usage of a working platform completes the multifunctionality of the equipment carrier and enables safe working at heights.
Durable and safe
- Solid and torsion-resistant steel frame, suitable for increased load capacity when attaching additional equipment, ensures maximum stability and durability - even under extreme operating conditions.
- The construction machine axles with 100% differential lock, which can be engaged under load, ensure maximum traction and optimal power transmission - especially in difficult terrain.
- Two-door ROPS/FOPS-II safety cabine with excellent all-round visibility, equipped with a standard roof window with protective grid, rear window heating and powerful LED work lights for optimal visibility and increased operating comfort day and night.
- The variable pendulum axle lock is available as an option and increases driving stability and standstill, especially when operating on uneven terrain or when working with heavy attachments.
User-friendly
- Ergonomic multifunction joystick with partially illuminated functions, integrated driving buttons, control of the auxiliary circuits, activation of the differential lock as well as the float and shake function.
- The Paus controller features a 7-key system with direct button selection, enabling quick and targeted access to all relevant applications and machine functions under adverse weather conditions.
- Additional functions: a display-integrated weighing system as a loading aid (optional), cruise control, individually adjustable user profiles, numerous assistance systems, a variable speed limiter, electronic end position damping and many other functions.
- Maintenance-friendly machine design with grouped grease nipples, easily accessible fuse box, oil-bath lamellar brakes and locking cylinders above the pivot point of the swinging mechanism.
The applications of the Swing Loader Pro Series can be further expanded with a wide range of attachments. From classic material handling to specialized applications, the machine can be flexibly adapted to new tasks.
The proven quick-change system ensures that attachments can be changed swiftly and safely. This ensures the swing loader remains a powerful and cost-effective tool, even as site requirements change.
Powerful engines with up to 85 kW and additional hydraulic control circuits with a capacity of up to 140 l/min enable the drive of high-performance attachments.
A selection of attachments is presented here. Further equipment options are available.

What is a swing loader and how does it differ from a standard wheel loader?
A swing loader is a wheel loader whose lift frame can pivot up to 180° independently of the direction of travel. A standard wheel loader, by contrast, can only change its working direction by steering or turning the entire machine. As a result, the swing loader saves space and time and protects the ground.
What is a swing loader better suited for than a classic wheel loader?
Swing loaders have the advantage whenever space on the job site is limited, for example in inner-city sewer, cable, and pipeline construction, road construction, or landscaping. Where a standard wheel loader would need to maneuver for every change of direction, the swing loader simply pivots its lift frame.
How wide is the swing range of the Paus SL 9088 Pro swing loader?
The lift frame of the Paus SL 9088 Pro can swing 180°, combined with a 40° steering angle to each side. This allows tasks to be completed with significantly fewer driving and steering movements than with a comparable standard wheel loader.
