Overview
Made for the way British contractors actually work.
The RL50 is a compact articulated wheel loader sized for UK yards, farms and small-to-mid site contractors. The articulated frame turns tighter than a rigid machine of the same capacity, reduces tyre scrub on hard standing, and keeps the loader stable under full load on uneven ground.
Rated at 5,000 kg with a 3.00 m³ bucket and Cummins F3.8 (Euro V / EPA4) power. Quick-attach hitch takes buckets, forks and grapples from the Ashmoors attachment range. UK-stocked wear parts and finance available on the full price.
Ashmoors specifies, inspects and prepares this machine for the UK market, supplies it and remains responsible for its UK warranty, parts, servicing and technical support. It is manufactured by RIPPA under its original model code.

Where the RL50 earns its keep.
01
Articulated chassis
Full articulation gives the tight turning circle of a skid steer with the road speed and comfort of a wheeled machine — right for yards where kerb-hopping matters.
02
Attachment ecosystem
Universal quick-attach hitch runs the same buckets, forks and grapples as our skid-steer range. Fleet standardisation is genuinely possible.
03
Built for British sites
Hoses, seals and electrics specified for wet winters and long days. Proven Kubota, Yanmar or Cummins power on many models, with sensible service intervals.
04
Ashmoors UK support
Ashmoors remains your UK point of contact for warranty, servicing, parts and technical support throughout ownership.
Compatible attachments
One machine, endless jobs.

FAQs
Questions we hear a lot.
Not seeing yours? Request a callback — discuss the job directly with our UK team.
What engine is fitted to the RL50?+
The Ashmoors RL50 Wheel Loader is fitted with a Cummins F3.8 (Euro V / EPA4), as published in the manufacturer's specification. The full specification table on this page lists every confirmed figure for the machine.
What does the RL50 weigh, and can it be towed in the UK?+
The RL50 is quoted at 5,000 kg. Add the tare weight of your plant trailer, typically 700-800 kg for a braked 3.5-tonne trailer, to get the towed weight, then check that total against your trailer plate, your towing vehicle's limits and your licence entitlement before travelling. Machines above roughly 8 tonnes are delivered by low-loader instead.
What warranty does the RL50 come with?+
Every RL50 comes with a 12-month parts warranty, with warranty claims handled for you in the UK by Ashmoors. The engine also carries the engine manufacturer's own warranty, and extended cover can be quoted on request. Full terms are confirmed in writing with your order.
How quickly can the RL50 be delivered?+
Machines are held in stock in the UK. Mainland UK delivery is typically 3–5 working days from cleared payment, fully insured, and we confirm a delivery day with you in advance. Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are arranged on request.
Are spare parts held in the UK?+
Contact Ashmoors with the RL50 serial number and required part. We will confirm compatibility, availability and delivery before you order.
Can I finance the RL50?+
Finance options may include hire purchase and finance lease through UK-regulated funders. Terms and monthly figures depend on the machine, deposit, term and applicant status.
Do I need a CPCS ticket to operate this machine?+
Operator ticketing requirements depend on the site, insurance and duty. For most domestic and light-commercial work the RL50 does not legally require CPCS, but many hire firms and main contractors will still require an appropriate ticket. Speak to your site's health & safety lead.
What attachments fit the RL50?+
General purpose bucket, 4-in-1 bucket, Pallet forks, Grapple bucket, High-tip bucket — plus most common auxiliary-hydraulic attachments sized for the class.
Where can I compare the RL50 against other wheel loaders?+
Every machine in the Wheel Loaders range is listed at /machinery/wheel-loaders. Call us and we'll walk you through the spec differences against the closest alternatives — we'd rather sell you the right machine than the biggest one.
Do you sell used wheel loaders?+
Our listed range is new machinery. Contact the Ashmoors team to ask about current availability.
