A skid loader, also known as a skid-steer loader or SSL, is a compact piece of heavy equipment with lift arms that can be fitted with various buckets and attachments for different tasks. Perfect for grading, digging, loading, and material handling, these machines are designed for maximum efficiency.
Unlike other loaders, skid-steers don't have a separate steering mechanism. Their wheels are fixed in a straight alignment on the machine's body, and turning is achieved through differential steering. This allows the machine to skid and turn smoothly, even in tight spaces.
Skid-steer loaders are capable of zero-radius turning, meaning they can rotate within their own length by moving one set of wheels forward while reversing the other set. This zero-turn capability makes them highly maneuverable and ideal for tasks in confined spaces that require a compact, powerful, and agile loader. From pushing and carrying materials to loading trucks and performing various digging and grading operations, skid-steers are indispensable for any project.
