Background
Skid Steer Loaders can dig up and pick up everything. Their small size and maneuverability allows them to operate in tight spaces. Their light weight allows them to be towed behind a full-size pickup truck, and the wide array of work-tools makes them very flexible.
Skid steer loaders are used to dig and move landscaping and building materials. But the machines can also grade, jackhammer cement and load trucks.
Because of their variety of uses - in a number of sites and environments - training in the safe operation of this machine is critical.
