What is a skid steer loader?
A skid steer loader is a compact and versatile piece of construction equipment that can carry a variety of attachments. Its small and flexible design allows it to work efficiently in tight spaces, while also being able to complete heavy-duty tasks in open areas. Due to its exceptional versatility, skid steers excel in construction, demolition, material handling, cleaning, and other fields, and can handle almost any job on a construction site.
However, if the construction environment has special requirements for surface protection, such as landscaping projects, it is recommended to use a crawler loader to reduce ground indentations.
