Professional front loaders: Maximum reach & flexible in use
Experience professional landscaping at a whole new level. The FFA front boom series from FIEDLER offers maximum flexibility, high efficiency and intelligent control technology for municipal, agricultural and service applications. With variable outreach widths from 2.30 m to 7.00 m, a lateral shift of up to 1.85 m and usability on both sides, the FFA enables you to work precisely and economically.
Compact in transport, uncompromising in use: benefit from optimum visibility thanks to the compact transport position, innovative CAN bus-controlled functions, a robust design and a large selection of professional work tools that have been specially developed for the tough demands of year-round municipal use.
Control variants for front loaders: To optimally adapt to your carrier vehicle and your requirements, we offer our front loaders with different control variants.
- P variant (proportional control): For maximum precision and smooth movements. This variant is available for all front loader models.
K variant (black-and-white control): The classic control for defined work processes is available for the FFA 301 to FFA 421 series.
Exception: The entry-level model FFA 201 is always controlled directly via the vehicle's controls.
Clever quick-change system – tool change in no time
Our FIEDLER-SWS® quick-change system allows attachments to be changed injusta few minutesby a single person. The attachments can always be positioned optimally thanks to the 360° continuous rotation.
Countless possibilities: with our large selection of professional attachments of various types, you can use the front loader effectively all year round.

10 most important FAQs about front loaders
A front loader is a hydraulically controlled working arm that is mounted on the front panel of a carrier vehicle (e.g. Multicar, Unimog or tractor). In the municipal sector, it is primarily used for road maintenance, in particular for mowing verges, clearing right-of-way profiles and many other tasks.
The Fiedler front loader is a true multi-tool for year-round use.
The available tools in various designs include: Flail mower head / flat mower head / hedge trimmer / loppers / trencher / stump grinder / earth auger / weed brush / guide post washing brush / tunnel washing brush / washing brush / hedge trimmer / double blade / clearance profile cutter / shower head
Enormous lever forces are exerted when the arm is extended to its maximum. The following systems are used to prevent tipping:
Front axle lock: Prevents the outer side of the curve from sagging.
Counterweights: Ballast mounted in the rear.
Torsion frame: To stabilise the vehicle frame.
Neither axle lock nor torsion frame is necessary with the FFA 201 front boom.
Fiedler relies on "Made in Germany" with high-quality components and materials:
Stainless steel guide rails and felt oilers ensure minimal wear on the sliding frame
All parts that are not made of stainless steel are given a C5-long powder coating before assembly – the highest corrosion protection class
Wear- and play-free Ionit Ox-coated bearings are used
High-strength bronze bushings in the joints
