► High mobility & strength

on a shorter, lighter vehicle

► Ideal high-flotation excavator
transporter for pipeline repairs
 All the strength benefits of the Husky 8 in a smaller,
lighter and easier to transport design.
Like it’s larger brother the Husky 8, the Husky 6 is a large, four tracked vehicle designed to move heavy payloads in
mud, muskeg, swamp, and snow conditions. The high deck and sealed undercarriage components provide excellent
fording ability combined with high approach and departure angles. The independent crankarm suspension and flexible
track provide constant ground contact and absorb shock loads.

The Husky 6 excavator transporter is equipped with:

► Komatsu PC 120 excavator
► lighting package
► welder/gen set
► trash pump
