Case Studies History

The job site featured very narrow passages, with a minimum width of approximately 780 mm (30.7 in), making access impossible for conventional machines. Excavation, grading and backfill operations (fill material, topsoil and turf) were required alongside a new retaining wall, in an extremely confined space.

The Cormidi C7X tracked minidumper, paired with a Kubota U10-5 excavator, allowed both machines to operate together in spaces with a minimum width of approximately 780 mm (30.7 in). The C7X provided continuous transport of fill material, topsoil and turf along the narrow side accesses of the property, while also enabling preparation of the subbase for the concrete formwork.

A foundation pour job site for a retaining wall located in an area completely inaccessible to traditional equipment. The confined space did not allow wheelbarrows or standard concrete mixers to pass through. Every meter of the route was a real obstacle for transporting fresh concrete.

The Cormidi tracked mini dumper, thanks to its compact dimensions and full track drive, reached the pour point where no other machine could access. The equipment transported fresh concrete continuously and in a controlled manner, maintaining stability even on uneven ground and through narrow passages. A single operator managed the entire operation.

The jobsite demands a reliable machine capable of operating in demanding conditions without failure. It must combine ruggedness and maneuverability — qualities that are rarely found in a single piece of equipment.

The C85 tracked mini dumper by Cormidi delivers solid performance and a look that turns heads. Built in Italy, it combines real hauling capacity with a compact footprint that makes it versatile on any type of terrain.

Anyone working on a job site needs reliable machines — available immediately and without surprises. Finding professional equipment for hire, with guaranteed efficiency and Italian design, is not always straightforward. Downtime caused by breakdowns or unavailability hits costs and work schedules hard.

Fullscope Hire provides Cormidi tracked minidumpers — C6X, C7X, C8X, C85 and the CMF multi-function machines — through an equipment hire and haulage service. Made in Italy machines, engineered to work in demanding conditions, with proven reliability and careful maintenance. A single operator can run them, with no special licenses required.

The job site required moving heavy loads in conditions where a traditional wheeled machine would have shown its limits. What was needed was a reliable, compact machine with a payload capacity suited to everyday operational demands.

The Cormidi C8X tracked mini dumper, with a payload of 800 kg (1,764 lb), met every requirement of the job site. The tracks ensure stability and traction on any surface, making the machine effective even in the most demanding environments.

Many landscaping, construction and earthmoving sites feature restricted access and uneven surfaces. Moving material in these conditions with conventional equipment is slow, risky and requires multiple operators. Loading skips, trailers or raised areas becomes a complicated task without the right machine.

The Cormidi C85 tracked minidumper is designed to work in exactly these conditions. With a payload of up to 800 kg (1,764 lb) and a high-tip skip, it allows direct discharge into skips, trailers and raised platforms with no effort. Tracked drive ensures stability and grip on broken ground, maintaining full control even in the most demanding conditions.

The Fitzroy jobsite left little room to maneuver. Moving stones, soil, and rocks in such confined conditions pushed both men and machines to the limit. What was needed was a machine capable of working without giving up, even where others can't get through.

Cormidi's CMF went into action with full force and power. Compact in its movements yet tireless in performance, it handled heavy materials such as stones, soil, and rocks without missing a beat. One machine, one operator, continuous work.

Wheelbarrows aren't enough anymore. On jobsites with narrow access and tight delivery schedules, every minute lost to manual transport is a direct hit to your margin. Labor runs out, pace slows down, and the client is left waiting.

The Cormidi CMF gets where traditional machines can't. Diesel-powered, compact and fast, it moves material continuously without stopping between loads. A single operator manages the entire transport cycle, eliminating the downtime that comes with wheelbarrows.

A work machine has to hold up through months of intensive jobsite use without breaking down. The operator opened the hood of the C85 ML after 11 months of continuous use for a full inspection: hydraulic oil and overall machine condition under review. The question was simple: does it still hold up?

The C85 ML passed the inspection with flying colors. At 250 hours of work and nearly a year on the jobsite, the inspection confirmed everything was in order. Clean hydraulic oil, machine fully intact. No repairs, no unplanned downtime. Made in Italy build quality made the difference.

Demonstrating real versatility of a multifunctional machine on the jobsite. The operator needs to switch quickly from one application to another without losing time or changing equipment. The challenge is having a single machine capable of performing different tasks in sequence, with quick-attach compatibility with attachments already on site.

The Cormidi CMF, star of the Factory Open Day, gave a live demonstration of its quick-attach system: in just a few minutes it goes from concrete mixer to miniloader configuration, with no tools and no external assistance. A single operator handles everything. The CMF is compatible with Bobcat and Toro attachments, allowing reuse of accessories already available on site.

Transporting materials on job sites under difficult conditions is one of the most common challenges: tight spaces, slopes, and uneven terrain put both workers and equipment to the test. Traditional methods require multiple operators, take longer, and pose real safety risks.

The Cormidi range — including models C6X, C7X, C8X, C85, CMF, and C200 — is designed to operate safely even on the most demanding job sites. The tracked undercarriage ensures stability on slopes and uneven ground, while the compact dimensions allow work in areas where other machines simply cannot go.

Working along the side of a house means dealing with extremely tight spaces and access points that are impossible for traditional equipment. Moving soil, sand or bark under these conditions takes a long time and demands heavy physical effort. Relying on a wheelbarrow or manual labor is neither sustainable nor efficient.

The Cormidi C85 Hi Tip is designed to operate in exactly these environments: compact tracks to squeeze through the narrowest passages, generous payload capacity to move soil, sand or bark without wasting time. The high-lift tipping skip allows you to discharge directly into a truck, into a skip, through a window, over a low wall, or to pour concrete for fencing — all with a single operator.

Moving and collecting logs on a jobsite is heavy, exhausting work. Without the right machine, multiple operators are needed and the risk of injury is high. Clearing the area takes a long time and requires a large workforce.

The CMF1500 equipped with a log grapple handles the job completely independently. The grapple grips and holds logs securely, allowing precise handling and fast site cleanup. A single operator manages the entire operation from the machine.

Now that's what we call tight access!

The Cormidi dumper range is built to go where others can't - perfect for confined spaces, narrow access, and tough terrain.

Some job sites leave no room for conventional machines. Narrow access points, residential areas, fenced gardens: large equipment is often out of the question. A practical, agile, and reliable solution is needed to complete work where others simply cannot reach.

The Cormidi C7X is the concrete answer for excavation in confined spaces. Compact in size yet robust in performance, it gets into places where conventional machinery cannot operate. One operator, one machine: ease of use translates into outstanding productivity on site.

A machine born in 1997, when Cormidi was still the dream of four brothers and a workshop full of ideas. Thirty years of tough job sites, heavy loads, and difficult conditions. The greatest challenge for any machine: standing the test of time without giving in.

The C9.65 was designed with a strong, stubborn core, built to last. Robust mechanics, uncompromising structural reliability. Made in Italy from the very first bolt. Thirty years later, the machine is still operational and works just like it did on day one.

Those working in tree care and timber management often face different operations on the same job site: log handling, pallet transport, and excavation or material collection. Having multiple separate machines means high costs, more operators, and downtime for equipment changes.

The Cormidi C85 was supplied as a complete package: Log Grab for gripping and transporting logs, pallet forks for moving palletized loads, and a bucket for collection and excavation operations. A single multifunctional machine covers all the needs of a woodland job site, with quick changeover between attachments.

The property line was choked with brush and young saplings grown right up to the fence: impossible to pass or clear with conventional machines.

The CMF forestry mulcher cut a clean path in a single pass, grinding brush and saplings on the spot, right up against the fence line.

Moving material on sites with very tight access (side gates, passages under the house) where a standard machine simply won’t fit.

The C7X tracked dumper, just 722 mm wide, slips into the narrowest spaces with low ground impact and dumps up to 1.65 m high into skips and small trucks.

Showing rental companies that a compact dumper can combine strength, maneuverability and simple controls, up to the demands of everyday site work.

The sales team took the C7X on a demonstration tour, putting it to work in the field and delivering the first units straight to hire yards.

Hauling serious loads in seriously cramped spaces, where a wheelbarrow isn’t enough and big machines simply can’t get in.

The C85 Hi Tip tracked dumper, just 81 cm wide, high-tips up to 1.45 m on all-terrain tracks at speeds up to 6 km/h.

Maintenance and electrification of a railway line on a historic masonry viaduct at height. Near-zero error margins. Irregular surfaces, a constrained structural environment, and continuous operation under extreme professional conditions. The choice of aerial work platform was not a detail: it was the determining factor.

ICEFE DUE selected the KB23 for its high structural stability on irregular surfaces and at height, its load capacity suited to electrification and heavy maintenance operations, and its compact dimensions that allowed maneuvering even in the viaduct's restricted spaces. Three characteristics derived directly from the Made in Italy design and manufacturing in Roccadaspide. The delivery and training phase was managed with rigor by SAMI S.r.l., Cormidi dealer, ensuring full command of the machine from the very first operations.

Concrete stuck to the steel bucket. Mandatory cleanup after every cycle. Operators busy washing instead of working. Side access of only 90 cm.

C85 with 12 mm polyethylene bucket. Concrete doesn't adhere: just tilt and it slides off clean. Width 740 mm — fits where others can't. One operator, continuous cycles.

Coppice woodland on slopes exceeding 40%. No agricultural machine could access the site. Firewood was carried by hand — slow, exhausting, and dangerous.

C85 with tipping body: rubber tracks on uneven terrain, low center of gravity on steep slopes, continuous cycles from the forest to the collection point. Single operator.

Clay soil, winter rains, 8-meter elevation change. The previous dumper lost traction on downhill runs. Jobsite suspended multiple times. Excavator standing idle means doubled costs.

C85 with steel tracks: constant traction even on wet clay. Low center of gravity eliminates rollover risk. The operator works safely throughout the entire shift.

A 5-ton excavator running non-stop. Every minute waiting for the dumper meant lost time and money. The previous machine couldn't keep up with the pace.

C200 with seated operator: high travel speed, stress-free cycles. Hydrostatic drive eliminates fatigue during long shifts. Real payload capacity that clears the excavation without downtime.
