Crawler Carriers — Compact Tracked Transport & Material Carriers
Move Materials Anywhere. Any Surface. Any Grade.

Crawler carriers — also known as tracked carriers or compact rubber track carriers — are self-propelled material transport machines designed to move loads across terrain where wheeled vehicles cannot operate. Mounted on rubber tracks, crawler carriers distribute weight over a large surface area, minimizing ground pressure and preventing surface damage on lawns, turf, soft soil, and slopes.
UPequip’s Almacrawler crawler carrier lineup is purpose-built for demanding transport applications in landscaping, construction, tree care, and utility work. With payload capacities from 500 kg to 3+ tonnes and articulated or rigid configurations, these machines carry tools, equipment, soil, stone, and bulk materials to job sites that are inaccessible to conventional vehicles.
Every Almacrawler unit combines robust all-terrain capability with straightforward operation — remote-controlled or operator-driven, compact for transport, and backed by UPequip’s full service and parts support across North America. Whether you need a crawler carrier for rental or purchase, we match you to the right machine.

Crawler Carrier FAQ
A crawler carrier is a self-propelled tracked vehicle designed to transport materials, equipment, or personnel across terrain that wheeled vehicles cannot navigate. Rubber tracks distribute the load over a wide surface area, enabling travel on soft ground, slopes, turf, and uneven terrain without sinking or causing surface damage.
A conventional dumper (or site dumper) uses wheels and requires firm, relatively flat ground. A crawler carrier uses rubber tracks and can work on slopes, soft soil, and sensitive surfaces where a wheeled dumper would sink, slip, or cause damage. Crawler carriers typically also offer lower ground pressure.
Almacrawler crawler carriers range from approximately 500 kg to 3+ tonnes payload capacity depending on the model. Some configurations include a hydraulic dump body; others offer a flat deck for equipment transport. Contact UPequip for a payload match to your job.
Yes. Rubber track crawler carriers are designed for sloped terrain and can typically operate on grades up to 30–45% depending on the model and load. Always consult the operator manual for the specific rated gradient.
New Almacrawler crawler carrier prices range from approximately $25,000 to $90,000 USD depending on payload capacity, configuration, and options. UPequip offers financing and rental programs. Contact us for a custom quote.
Some Almacrawler models are available with remote control operation, allowing the operator to walk alongside and maintain a clear sightline. Larger models are operator-driven from a seat or standing platform. Contact UPequip to specify the right control configuration.
Most crawler carriers are compact enough to be transported on a standard utility trailer or flatbed. Self-propelled track systems allow them to drive on and off trailers independently. Exact transport weight and dimensions vary by model.
