Run small. Dream big.
Meet the 344 P-Tier Compact Wheel Loader, designed to include a wide range of reliable standard features and proven options that help you imagine results on a whole new level. Like all of our compact construction equipment, it’s designed to be a highly adaptable multitasker that can make quick work of tight spaces and tight deadlines alike.
Smaller do-it-all articulated loaders that combine head-turning maneuverability, sure-footed stability, and comfortable capability are the backbone on which our P-Tier Compact Wheel Loaders were built. We know that your workdays are usually long and no two jobs are the same, so we took your equipment wish list and turned it into a dream machine that puts work back on your get-to-do list.

Turn Things Around
Industry-exclusive Articulation Plus™ steering system combines 30 degrees of articulation with 10 additional degrees of rear-wheel steer. Reduced articulation angle design delivers tighter turns that are more stable, especially with large loads, than comparatively sized loaders without Articulation Plus™.
On the Level
Loader arm and coupler design improves the lifting path to near parallel for better load-carrying capability than previous models. This keeps the load more level from ground to truck-bed height and helps the operator focus on the task instead of on making manual adjustments.
Reach Your Goals
Outstanding reach enables the 344 P-Tier to efficiently dump to the center of tandem-axle trucks for quick loading cycles. With exceptional lift and height to hinge pin, the optional High-Lift configuration makes this capable compact especially adept at repetitive dumping and stacking applications.
Fast Getaway
With a standard top speed of under 25 MPH, the 344 P-Tier can make some pretty quick moves on and between jobsites.
Control and Command
Low-effort joystick controls boom and bucket, forward-neutral-reverse (F-N-R), and differential lock. Adjustable-height monitor lets operators keep close watch on vital machine functions.
Enjoy the Ride
Standard ride control cushions the boom during travel over rough and uneven terrain, reducing material spillage from the bucket and minimizing site cleanup.
