What exactly is the difference between a skid steer loader and a regular loader?

Skid steer loader, also known as skid steer loader, multifunctional engineering vehicle or multifunctional engineering machine, is a kind of high mobility and multifunctional engineering machinery

equipment . It utilizes the difference in linear speed between the wheels on both sides to realize steering, adopts all-wheel drive and skid steering, and is especially suitable for the occasions where

the work site is narrow, the ground is uneven or the work content changes frequently .

The main uses of skid steer loaders include but are not limited to the following aspects:

1. Narrow space operation: due to its small steering radius, it is suitable for the operation of urban infrastructure, construction sites, workshops, warehouses, docks and other narrow sites .

2. Uneven road operation: the all-wheel drive design makes it work stably even on undulating and uneven sites .

3. Multi-functional operation: it can quickly change or connect different working devices at the work site to carry out shoveling, stacking, lifting, digging and other operations.

4. Logistical support and site cleaning: suitable for the logistical support of large construction machinery and project finishing operations, such as ground cleaning.

5. Mobile pumping station use: can be used as a power source for handheld hydraulic picks and other hydraulic equipment to provide power.

6. Road security operations: with the corresponding accessories, can be used for snow clearing and cleaning operations, rapid clearance of snow and ice.

In addition, skid steer loaders play an important role in specific industries such as shipyards, ports, road and bridge companies and municipal companies. For example, in shipyards, skid steer loaders 

are used for sand removal in the paint shop; in ports, they can be used for clearing or leveling; in road and bridge companies, they are used in conjunction with sweepers to clean asphalt pavements

 after milling; and in municipal projects, skid steer loaders are ideal for small-scale operations because of their compactness, flexibility and versatility.
