Skid Loaders

Similar to front end loaders, a skid loader (also called skid steer loader) is a piece of heavy duty construction equipment that is also seen on many job sites.  They get their name from their tank-like driving style, where one side or the other brakes, allowing the machine to “spin” as the other side propels it around.  Most skid steer loaders are tracked vehicles or four-wheel drive.

Being much smaller than many other types of heavy duty construction equipment, not only are Bobcat skid loaders more maneuverable, but they are also prone to safety concerns on the job.  This is why they have fully-enclosed cabs, a full roll cage, and a crush-resistant build.

The little machines are extremely useful and popular, however, and you’ll find them with all types of attachments to replace or augment the bucket that is usually in front.  Forklifts, spikes for hay bales, scoops, bulldozer, and other ski loader attachments are common.

In fact, when you find bulldozers for sale, it’s likely that they are really modified ski loaders for sale instead.  It’s not unusual for a skid loader to be converted and used as a bulldozer, as these powerful little pieces of heavy duty construction equipment can do almost all of the smaller jobs that bulldozers for sale are used for.

The Bobcat skid loaders are the most popular and commonly seen, but any type of skid steer loader will be found at auction, estate sales, online, in the newpaper, etc.  In fact, skid loaders for sale is probably one of the most commonly-seen heavy duty construction equipment items you’ll see offered for sale.

These useful little machines are everywhere, and for good reason.
