Boughton’s Power-Reach skip loader range, introduced in 2013, marked the first comprehensive ground-up design review and whole of concept development programme of the type for a generation.  Boughton also undertook an exhaustive research and development programme, which included wide consultation with industry and operators.  As a result, Power-Reach offers improved functionality, serviceability and safety features, with greater productivity and operational reliability.

The Boughton Intacova, a fully integrated, patented and within width auto-sheeting system, is the option of choice for most Power-Reach applications.  Both Power-Reach and Intacova have quickly gained popularity and following amongst operators, large and small and continue to gain market share. 

The flagship Power-Reach PR18 variant, designed for operation at 18,000kg GVW spearheaded the new range, with a PR12 model, for operation at 12,000kg GVW, now also available and other variants to follow.
