Functionality and Use When looking at skid steer’s there are three considerations to make before the purchase.The size of the machine is most likely the biggest factor. This depends on the kind of jobsites you will be using the skid steer on. If there are gates, garages or other small spaces you intend on using the skid steer in, they should be measured for access. Most skid steers range between 3’ to 6’, and heights can be between 5’ and 7’. This could narrow your choices considerably. The dumping height should also be considered. This means that if you want to dump loads into a 9’ high skive or dump truck, the model should have a dumping height of at least 10’. This is measured in the “height to hinge pin,” which is the pivot point between the arms of the loader and the bucket. The normal range is smaller models, 8’ to over 10’ on the largest models. The lifting capacity is usually determined by the size of the skid steer. If you are working in confined, busy sites, you may have to sacrifice a high lifting and load capacity for a smaller size vehicle. The average range of skid steers is the 1,750 lb to 2,200 lb range. Heavy lifting skid steers are over 2,200 lbs. There are nine categories for skid steer loaders: 1. Less than 700 lbs 2. 700 – 975 lbs 3. 976 – 1,250 lbs 4. 1,252 – 1,350 lbs 5. 1,350 – 1,600 lbs 6. 1,601 – 1,7500 lbs 7. 1,751 – 2,200 lbs 8. 2,201 – 2,700 lbs 9. 2,701 + lbs |
