Ok, I am continuing to talk about different types of heavy equipment that you might find on a construction site. I have talked about loaders and Bobcat loaders in previous posts. One popular type of loader is the skid steer.
Skid steer loader machines seem to be all the rage. You've probably seen skid steer loaders in your hometown or at commercial landscaping projects or construction sites. The advantages of skid loaders is that they are small and maneuverable, so they can operate in tight spaces. The light weight of a skidsteer loader allows it to be transported easily, and the wide array of skid loader accessories and optional attachments makes them very flexible.
Skid steer loaders dig and move construction-related materials. They can also grade soil and sand, pound cement flat, load vehicles and perform many other tasks. The power in skid loaders comes entirely from hydraulic pumps, so a mechanical transmission is unnecessary. Best of all, a skid steer loader can turn around within their own footprint, like a tank.
