The engine powered skid-steer loader consists of a small and rigid frame, equipped along with lift arms that can connect to numerous industrial tools and attachments to execute many labor saving jobs. Usually, skid-steer loaders are four-wheel drive vehicles which have the left-hand side wheels operating independent of the right-hand side wheels, even if various models are outfitted together with tracks instead. On the four-wheel models, having each side independent of each other allows the rotation direction of the wheels and the wheel speed to determine what course the loader will turn.
These equipment are capable of "pirouette" or otherwise known as zero-radius turning. This feature makes skid-steer loaders extremely valuable and maneuverable for applications which need an agile and compact loader.
The lift arms on the skid-steer loader are situated at the side of the driver together with pivots at the back of the driver's shoulders. These features makes the skid-steer loader different than the conventional front loader. Because of the operator's closeness to moving booms, early skid loaders were not as safe as traditional front loaders, specially in the operator's entry and exit. Modern skid-steer loaders at present have many features so as to protect the driver like for example fully-enclosed cabs. Like various front loaders, the skid-steer model could push materials from one location to another, is capable of loading material into a truck or trailer and can carry material in its bucket.
Operation
More often than not a skid-steer loader can be used on a job location in place of a large excavator by digging a hole from within. First, the skid-steer loader digs a ramp leading to the edge of the desired excavation, and afterward it uses the ramp to excavate material out of the hole. As the excavation deepens, the machine reshapes the ramp making it steeper and longer. This is a very helpful way for digging under a building where there is not adequate overhead clearance for the boom of a big excavator. Like for instance, this is a common scenario when digging a basement underneath an existing structure or house.
There is much flexibility in the accessories which the skid steer loaders are capable of. Like for example, the traditional bucket of many of these loaders can be replaced with numerous accessories which are powered by the loader's hydraulic system, consisting of pallet forks, backhoes, tree spades, sweepers, mowers, snow blades and cement mixers. Various other popular specialized attachments and buckets comprise trenchers, angle booms, dumping hoppers, wood chipper machines, grapples, tillers, stump grinders rippers, wheel saws and snow blades.
History
The front end 3-wheeled loader was invented in nineteen fifty seven, by Louis and Cyril Keller in their hometown of Rothsay, Minnesota. The Keller brothers created this machinery to be able to help mechanize the method of cleaning in turkey barns. This machine was compact and light and consisted of a back caster wheel which allowed it to maneuver and turn around within its own length, allowing it to execute similar jobs as a traditional front-end loader.
The Melroe brothers of Melroe Manufacturing Company in Gwinner, N.D. bought during the year 1958, the rights to the Keller loader. The company then employed the Keller brothers to assist with development of the loader. The M-200 Melroe was actually the result of this partnership. This model was a self-propelled loader which was introduced to the market in the year 1958. The M-200 Melroe featured a a 750 lb capacity, two independent front drive wheels, a rear caster wheel and a 12,9 HP engine. By the year 1960, they changed the caster wheel together with a back axle and launched the very first 4 wheel skid steer loader which was known as the M-400.
The M-400 immediately became the Melroe Bobcat. Often the term "Bobcat" is used as a generic term for skid-steer loaders. The M-440 had an 1100 lb rated operating capacity and was powered by a 15.5 HP engine. The business continued the skid-steer development into the mid 1960s and introduced the M600 loader.
