DIG-BOY DBL-S480 Compact Wheel Skid Steer Loader

DIG-BOY DBL-S480 Compact Wheel Skid Steer Loader

350 kg rated load, 480 kg maximum, 1050 mm ultra-narrow wheel chassis. The DIG-BOY DBL-S480 is a high-performance wheel skid steer built for agile, heavy-duty service on tight agricultural and municipal job sites.

Fitting through narrow ranch gates or tight municipal garden paths takes a genuinely compact wheel loader — and weak machines without real lifting power hold back professional farming and heavy-duty landscaping work. The S480 pairs a 3-cylinder Yanmar or Kubota engine with a 350 kg rated load (480 kg maximum) and a 1050 mm ultra-narrow chassis, so you can master confined sites with professional ease. Centralised manual controls and durable all-terrain tyres ensure every demanding job is completed faster and with maximum reliability.

Engineered for maximum productivity

• Premium engine. World-class Yanmar 380 or Kubota D1105 diesel engines fully comply with EPA and Euro 5 emission standards, ensuring environmental compliance for hassle-free import and smooth customs clearance in premium international markets.
• Ultimate versatility. An international standard quick-attach plate seamlessly couples with a full lineup of attachments such as augers, trenchers and sweepers, letting operators switch tools in seconds and turning one S480 into a multi-functional workhorse.
• Compact footprint. An ultra-narrow 1050 mm chassis width combined with a highly agile body design lets the S480 access tight residential backyards, narrow estate gates and confined urban jobsites where larger machinery simply cannot fit.
• Agile performance. Heavy-duty pneumatic tyres provide excellent travel speed and superior manoeuvrability on hard surfaces and paved ground, delivering rapid jobsite transitions and exceptional stability across farms, warehouses and municipal roads.
• Lifting performance. A solid 350 kg rated operating capacity and 480 kg maximum lifting capability within a highly transportable footprint, handling commercial-grade excavation, backfilling and heavy material handling.

Quick-attach attachments

Our mini skid steers come equipped with a quick-change system, so one machine covers many jobs:

• Grapple — lift and move loose materials such as manure, bedding and hay.
• Snow plow — remove light or moderate snow from sidewalks and driveways.
• Pallet fork — move bulky, bagged or palletised material quickly and easily.
• Hydraulic hammer — break up concrete and hard surfaces.
• Angle broom — clear away dirt, dried mud, light snow and other debris.

Frequently asked questions

Why select a stand-on loader instead of a seated unit?
Enhanced visibility and site manoeuvrability. The full peripheral view from our integrated standing platform provides superior safety and control in confined jobsites, and allows rapid operator transitions for multi-stage tasks, significantly increasing overall project productivity.

What is the benefit of your one-year warranty?
Absolute operational security. Our professional one-year warranty protects your machine investment from unforeseen component failures or unexpected repair expenses, so you can operate your equipment with total confidence.

What is the purpose of the hydraulic pilot valve lock?
It is a standard safety feature on all 480 units. This system provides an immediate hydraulic lockout to prevent any accidental boom or drive movement when you are stepping onto or off the standing platform.

Is the 480 series compatible with standard international attachments?
Certainly. The 480 series integrates a universal quick-attach plate, and we supply a comprehensive range of factory-made attachments, so the loader works with your existing tools or our heavy-duty attachments.

How much can the 480 series' 350 kg (770 lbs) rated capacity really handle?
It efficiently moves heavy dirt, stone piles or professional-grade feed supplies — industrial-grade lifting power for large-scale landscaping, site clearing and intensive agricultural material handling.
