Overview
Made for the way British contractors actually work.
The RS20 is our largest skid steer, a proper cab-class loader for site contractors, waste transfer stations and industrial yards. A 1,050 kg rated load, sealed and air-conditioned cab, and hydraulics specified for the largest attachments in our range.
It replaces a wheel loader on jobs where footprint, manoeuvrability and attachment flexibility matter more than road speed. Full-day operator comfort is standard, not an option.
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.
Best for
- Industrial & manufacturing yards
- Waste & recycling operations

- Aggregate & bulk handling

Where the RS20 earns its keep.
01
Wheel-loader capability, skid-steer footprint
A 1,050 kg rated lift in a machine that turns on the spot — moves serious material in yards where a wheel loader simply cannot manoeuvre.
02
Full climate-controlled cab
Heated, air-conditioned, sealed cab keeps operators productive through a full winter shift or a warehouse summer — a genuine tool for full-time use.
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 RS20?+
The Ashmoors RS20 Skid Steer is fitted with a Kubota V2607 diesel, 49.9 kW, as published in the manufacturer's specification. The full specification table on this page lists every confirmed figure for the machine.
What does the RS20 weigh, and can it be towed in the UK?+
The RS20 is quoted at 1,050 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 RS20 come with?+
Every RS20 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 RS20 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 RS20 serial number and required part. We will confirm compatibility, availability and delivery before you order.
Can I finance the RS20?+
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 RS20 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 RS20?+
Heavy-duty bucket, 4-in-1 bucket, Pallet forks, Grapple bucket, Hydraulic breaker, Sweeper — plus most common auxiliary-hydraulic attachments sized for the class.
Where can I compare the RS20 against other skid steers?+
Every machine in the Skid Steers range is listed at /machinery/skid-steers. 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 skid steers?+
Our listed range is new machinery. Contact the Ashmoors team to ask about current availability.
