A skid steer loader is a compact, versatile piece of construction equipment used for various tasks such as digging, lifting, and grading. It features a rigid frame and a unique steering system that allows the wheels on one side to turn independently from the other, enabling tight turns and maneuverability in confined spaces. These machines are equipped with a front-mounted bucket or attachment, making them suitable for landscaping, construction, and agricultural work. Skid steer loaders can be fitted with various attachments, including forks, augers, and snow plows, enhancing their functionality for different jobs.
