CURRENT MODELS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS


Skid steer loaders are popular machines for many construction, agricultural, and industrial applications due to their ease of use, ability to adapt to diverse conditions, and the number of available attachments. Skid steer loaders are similar to front-end wheel loaders; however the right and left wheels are controlled independently from each other, allowing the machine to make tight turns with virtually no turning radius. Another distinguishing characteristic of the skid steer loader is the way the loading arm is attached; it connects to the machine behind the driver, and can lift its load above and behind the machine.
