Skid-Steer LoadersThe skid-steer loader is a compact four-wheel drive machine designed to operate in restricted areas. It is distinguished by its steering system. Steering is achieved by independently varying the speed and direction of the two sets of wheels on either side.
Skid steer loaders are usually classified by their rated operating capacity, which is to say the heaviest load a machine can lift without tipping onto its nose.
Track-mounted variants of the skid –steer loader – usually referred to as compact tracked loaders – are considered to be a different machine type.
