Compact Loaders Scotland
ILH Groundcare is Scotland's compact loader specialist, offering two of the best mini loader brands on the market under one roof.
We supply the full MultiOne and Sherpa ranges, giving you a choice between articulated loaders with telescopic reach and compact stand-on machines built for the tightest access work. Most dealers carry one brand and push it for everything.
We carry two because different jobs need different machines, and we’d rather match you to the right one.
Family-run since 2007 with over 20 years in arboricultural and groundcare machinery. Landscapers, arborists, builders, farmers, and estate managers across Scotland rely on us for honest advice and proper backup.
Why Our Customers Love Us
Why Choose ILH for Compact Loaders?
We carry two loader brands because one size doesn’t fit all. A MultiOne with a telescopic boom handles heavy lifting and wide sites. A Sherpa handles narrow access and jobs where a bigger machine can’t reach.
Knowing which one fits your work is where our experience counts, and we’ll give you a straight answer rather than selling you the most expensive option.
We we cover all of Scotland from Glasgow and Edinburgh to the Highlands and beyond. Landscapers, arborists, builders, groundcare contractors, and farmers across Scotland trust us for the right machine and proper support after the sale.
Compact Loaders for Sale
We sell the full MultiOne range, from compact models suited to garden maintenance through to heavy-duty machines for large contractors, plus an electric option for indoor and emission-sensitive work. MultiOne loaders are articulated machines with telescopic booms, diesel engines, and a quick-hitch system that accepts a wide range of attachments.
One machine handles material movement, loading, mowing, sweeping, auger drilling, and everything in between. New MultiOne loaders come with full dealer support as standard.
We also supply the full Sherpa range in petrol, diesel, electric, compact, and high-speed configurations.
Sherpa loaders are smaller, lighter, and narrower than articulated machines, which makes them the right choice for tight-access landscaping, internal demolition, and sites where even a compact loader feels too big. They’re stand-on machines with a simple, intuitive control layout that most operators pick up within minutes.
If you’re not sure whether a MultiOne or Sherpa suits your workload better, call us. We sell both and we’ll steer you to whichever makes more sense for your typical jobs. We also carry used loaders when stock is available. Call 0141 775 9288 for current pricing on any model.
Compact Loader Hire
Our hire fleet includes MultiOne articulated loaders and Sherpa mini loaders, serviced in our workshop between every hire.
You get a machine with the right attachments for your job, checked hydraulics, and controls that work the way they should, not a loader that’s been run hard and sent back out without attention.
We offer daily, weekly, and longer-term rates with better pricing on extended hires. A compact loader on hire makes sense for landscaping projects, site clearances, tree work, and construction jobs where you need the versatility but don’t need a machine on fleet year-round.
Tell us what you’re doing and we’ll match you to the right loader and attachments rather than sending out whatever’s available.
Delivery and collection across Scotland, or collect from our Cumbernauld workshop. We walk you through the controls on handover and phone support is available throughout the hire if you need it.
Compact Loader Servicing
Our Cumbernauld workshop handles routine servicing, hydraulic repairs, electrical diagnostics, attachment maintenance, and full rebuilds on compact loaders from all the major manufacturers.
We service and repair MultiOne, Sherpa, Avant, Cast, and Workquad loaders, so whatever brand you run, we can maintain it properly.
Compact loaders work hard across multiple jobs and attachments, which means hydraulic systems, quick-hitch mechanisms, and drive components take more wear than single-purpose machines.
Regular servicing catches problems before they leave you stuck on site, and our workshop turns jobs around as fast as possible because a loader sitting idle is costing you money.
We also carry out pre-purchase inspections if you’re buying a used loader privately and want a professional assessment of condition before you commit.
Compact Loader Spare Parts
We stock genuine spare parts at our workshop, including hydraulic fittings, drive components, quick-hitch pins, attachment parts, filters, and common wear items. Most parts are available same-day if you collect from Cumbernauld, or next-day delivery across the UK.
Because compact loaders use so many different attachments, wear items vary depending on how you use the machine.
Bucket teeth, pallet fork tines, auger bits, and sweeper brushes all wear at different rates depending on the work. Keeping the right spares on hand means you swap them when they need it rather than waiting on a delivery while the loader sits in the yard.
If you run a different loader brand and need parts sourced, get in touch. We can often supply or source components for Avant, Cast, Workquad, and other makes through our trade network.
What Can Compact Loaders Be Used For?
Compact loaders are versatile machines that handle dozens of different tasks depending on which attachment you fit.
With a bucket, they shift soil, aggregate, sand, and rubble around sites. With pallet forks, they unload deliveries and move materials where a forklift can’t reach. Fit an auger and they drill fence post holes or planting pits. Swap to a sweeper and they clear car parks, pavements, and yard areas.
Landscapers use them for everything from ground preparation and turf laying to moving bulk materials around large garden projects.
Tree surgeons load logs and brash after felling.
Builders shift materials on tight residential sites where a full-size telehandler won’t fit. Farmers use them for yard work, mucking out, feed handling, and fencing.
Estate managers and councils rely on them for grounds maintenance, path clearing, and seasonal work across parks, cemeteries, and public spaces.
The MultiOne range suits operators who need lifting height, reach, and heavy-duty capability across larger sites. Sherpa loaders suit tight-access work where the machine needs to fit through doorways, along narrow paths, or into spaces a bigger loader can’t reach.
