Skid-steer loaders, often called skid-steers, are ideal machines for construction, landscaping and agriculture. These compact, versatile pieces of equipment are identical to compact track loaders from the undercarriage up, with wheels instead of tracks.
A large selection of attachments for skid-steer loaders make them do-it-all machines. Skid-steer loaders are best known for lifting and carrying material with buckets, but popular attachments like augers and angle brooms offer more options. With attachments, skid-steer loaders can take on digging, grading, lifting and more.
Skid-steer loaders are available in a range of small, medium and large frame sizes, rated operating capacities and engine sizes. Typically, operators can choose between models with standard hand and foot controls or more advanced joystick controls.
Start your search for the right skid-steer loader by looking at the size of your workload. Once you know how much or how high you want to lift, you can start to match machine capabilities to your job requirements.
Bobcat skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders look a lot alike from the undercarriage up. The most obvious difference is that skid-steer loaders have wheels and compact track loaders have tracks. Each undercarriage style offers unique benefits.
A skid-steer loader offers extremely tight turning or “skidding.” During a turn, wheels on one side can move forward while wheels on the other side can move backward. This enables you to pivot the machine 360 degrees.
Compact track loaders are typically heavier than skid-steer loaders. Because the tracks are long and wide – the footprint they leave is comparable to that of a human being. This reduces ground disturbance and increases flotation – or the ability to drive over soft ground conditions.
