Construction Equipment: Safety Tips

Skid Steer Loaders: Small But Mighty

Skid Steer Loaders are extremely popular and versatile pieces of construction equipment that are a common sight on construction and industrial sites. Sometimes referred to simply as a “bobcat” or “skid steer” for short, these compact machines can be incredibly useful, either on their own or by supplementing heavier machines and gear.

Skid steer loaders are smaller than most heavy construction loaders, comprised of an operator cab situated over an engine enclosure with a pair of load-lifting arms on either side of the machine. This smaller structure makes it very useful in enclosed areas, increasing its ability to function in cramped quarters or locations.
