SKID STEER LOADERS


.
LOADER

A loader is a heavy equipment machine often used in


construction, primarily used to load material
(such as demolition debris, dirt, snow, feed, gravel,
logs, raw
minerals, recycled material, rock, sand, and woodchips) into or
onto another type of machinery
(such as a dump truck, conveyor belt, feed-
hopper, railcar, laying pipe, or into an open trench excavation).
A loader is also known as:
 bucket loader,

 front loader,

 front end loader,

 pay loader,

 scoop,

 shovel,

 skip loader, and/or


LOADER
It is a type of tractor, usually wheeled,
sometimes on tracks, that has a front-mounted square wide bucket
connected to the end of two booms (arms) to scoop up loose
material from the ground, and move it from one place to another
without pushing the material across the ground.

True Self-Leveling (TSL)


LOADER
 In construction areas loaders are also used to transport building
materials - such as bricks, pipe, metal bars, and digging tools -
over short distances.
 A loader is not the most efficient machine for digging like a
backhoe as it cannot dig very deep below the level of its wheels.
 The capacity of a loader bucket can be anywhere from 0.5 to 36m3
depending upon the size of the machine and its application.
 The front loader's bucket capacity is generally much bigger than a
bucket capacity of a backhoe loader.

 Large loaders, such as the Kawasaki 95ZV-2, John Deere


844K, Caterpillar 950H, Volvo L120E, Case 921E, or Hitachi ZW310
usually have only a front bucket and are called Front Loaders, whereas
 Small loader tractors are often also equipped with a small backhoe
and are called backhoe loaders or loader backhoes or JCBs, after
the company that first invented them.

 3 Tractor front loaders

 4 Compact front end loaders

 5 Skid loaders & track loaders Loading a truck


 6 Swingloaders

 7. Back-hoe loaders

Track loaders

Swingloaders
Front End Loaders on CUT size tractors Back-hoe loaders
TRACKED / SKID LOADER

 A tracked /skid loader is a small loader utilizing four wheels with


hydraulic drive that directs power to either, or both, sides of the
vehicle.
 Very similar in appearance and design is the track loader, which
utilizes
a continuous track on either side of the vehicle instead of the wheels.

BRIEF
A skid loader, skid-steer loader or skidsteer is a small, rigid-frame, engine-powered
machine with lift arms used to attach a wide variety of labor-saving tools or attachments.

Skid-steer loaders are typically four-wheel vehicles with the wheels mechanically locked in
synchronization on each side, and where the left-side drive wheels can be driven
independently of the right-side drive wheels. The wheels typically have no separate
steering mechanism and hold a fixed straight alignment on the body of the machine.
Turning is accomplished by differential steering, in which the left and right wheel pairs are
operated at different speeds, and the machine turns by skidding or dragging its fixed-
orientation wheels across the ground.
ATTACHMENTS
The conventional bucket of many skid loaders can be replaced with a variety of specialized
buckets or attachments, many powered by the loader's hydraulic system. These include 
backhoe, hydraulic breaker, pallet forks, angle broom, sweeper, auger, mower, 
snow blower, stump grinder, tree spade, trencher, dumping hopper, pavement miller,
ripper, tillers, grapple, tilt, roller, snow blade, wheel saw, cement mixer, and wood chipper
machine.
Some models of skid steer now also have an automatic attachment changer mechanism.
This allows a driver to change between a variety of terrain handling, shaping, and leveling
tools without having to leave the machine, by using a hydraulic control mechanism to
latch onto the attachments. Hydraulic supply lines to powered attachments may be routed
so that the couplings are located near the cab, and the driver does not need to leave the
machine to connect or disconnect those supply lines.
