Skip Loader & Intercova

Boughton’s Power-Reach skip loader range, introduced in 2013, set a new benchmark for ground-up design and innovation in the industry. Since then, it has continued to evolve, reflecting a comprehensive approach to functionality, safety, and reliability. Built from the ground up, with invaluable input from a wide spectrum of customers, it embodies our ongoing commitment to innovation and to providing operators with market-leading equipment.

The Power-Reach range offers improved functionality, enhanced safety features, and greater serviceability, resulting in increased productivity and operational reliability. 

The Boughton Intercova, a fully integrated auto-sheeting system designed to operate within maximum width, is the preferred choice for most Power-Reach applications. Both the Power-Reach and Intacova systems have gained significant popularity among operators of all sizes and continue to grow their market share.

The flagship Power-Reach PR18, designed for operation at 18,000kg GVW, leads the new range with proven performance and durability. It is perfectly complemented by the PR12 model at 12,000kg GVW to service our customers’ varying needs.
