What is Skid Loader?

Sometimes referred to as a skid steer loader, the basic skid loader is an engine driven machine that is equipped with lift arms that support a number of different types of attachments designed for a number of different construction and industrial applications. Developed in the late 1950s, skid-steer loaders are sometimes referred to as bobcats. 

Uses of skid loader

A skid loader sometimes can be used in place of a large skid loader for digging a hole from the inside. The skid loader first digs a ramp leading to the edge of the desired excavation. It then uses the ramp to carry material out of the hole. The skid loader reshapes the ramp making it steeper and longer as the excavation deepens.  This method is useful for digging under a structure where overhead clearance does not allow for the boom of a large skid loader, such as digging a basement under an existing house. 

The conventional bucket of many skid loaders can be replaced with a variety of buckets or attachments. These include backhoe, hydraulic breaker, pallet forks, angle broom, sweeper, auger, mower, stump grinder, trencher, dumping hopper, etc. 

There are many skid loader brands that could be made available on the platform but not limited to as follow:

• Bobcat
• Caterpillar
• Case
• Doosan
• Hitachi
• JCB
• JLG
• Manitou
• Neuson
