They are one of the most popular pieces of equipment used in construction today, thanks to their size and versatility. The first 4 wheel model was introduced in 1960 as an upgrade to the three wheel loader which was invented in Minnesota in 1957 to bring efficiency to farm tasks. This quickly became known as the “Bobcat” and to this day, it remains as one of the most respected names in construction equipment. They are small enough to be easily transported on a small trailer or towed behind a pickup truck yet they have enough power to move a large volume of heavy material in a short period of time. They differ from traditional front loaders in that the lift arms run beside the driver on either side and connect to pivot points behind the cab.

The biggest advantages to a skid steer loader over other heavy equipment are agility and maneuverability. The four wheels allow for a tight turning radius and greater precision than a multi-terrain loader which uses a track instead of tires. The track loader typically performs better on sloped or rough terrain where the gripping action of the tracks provide enhanced stability and help to guard against slipping. They are ideal for digging soil, rock, mud, or snow using a front-mounted shovel but can also be adapted to perform a wide variety of duties with other attachments. Skid steer loaders can be fitted with a wide variety of attachments that greatly expand their natural capabilities including a backhoe, rake, mower, auger, stump grinder, trencher, log splitter, pallet fork, snowblower, or even a concrete breaker. All in all, there are over 100 different attachments available to outfit your loader for almost any task.

For the most part, a skid steer will run on diesel as opposed to gas because it tends to be less expensive to operate. Depending on how much power you need, there are models ranging from under 50 HP to well over 75HP.
