The engine powered skid-steer loader consists of a rigid and small frame, outfitted with lift arms which can connect to many industrial tools and attachments to be able to carry out many labor saving tasks. Normally, skid-steer loaders are four-wheel drive vehicles which have the left-hand side wheels operating independent of the right-hand side wheels, even though some models are equipped together with tracks instead. On the four-wheel models, having each side independent of each other enables the wheel speed and rotation direction of the wheels to determine which direction the loader will turn.
These equipment can "pirouette" or zero-radius turning. This particular feature makes skid-steer loaders extremely maneuverable and valuable for applications that need an agile and compact loader.
On a skid-steer loader, the lift arms are at the side of the driver along with pivot points behind the driver's shoulders. This makes them different as opposed to a traditional front loader. Because of the operator's proximity to moving booms, early skid loaders were not as safe as traditional front loaders, specially in the operator's exit and entry. Today's' modern skid-steer loaders have numerous features to protect the driver like for instance 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
There are several times where the skid-steer loader can be utilized rather than a big excavator on the jobsite for digging holes from within. To start, the loader digs a ramp to be utilized to excavate the material out of the hole. As the excavation deepens, the machine reshapes the ramp making it longer and steeper. This is a very helpful way for digging under a building where there is not sufficient overhead clearance for the boom of a large excavator. Like for instance, this is a common situation when digging a basement underneath an existing home or structure.
There is much flexibility in the attachments which the skid steer loaders are capable of. Like for example, the traditional bucket of many of these loaders can be replaced with numerous attachments that are powered by the loader's hydraulic system, including tree spades, sweepers, mowers, snow blades, cement mixers, pallet forks and backhoes. Various other popular specialized attachments and buckets consist of tillers, stump grinders rippers, wheel saws, snow blades, trenchers, angle booms, dumping hoppers, wood chipper machines and grapples.
History
The 3-wheeled front end loader was invented in nineteen fifty seven, by Cyril and Louis 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 equipment was compact and light and had a rear caster wheel that allowed it to turn around and maneuver within its own length, allowing it to carry out similar work as a conventional front-end loader.
During the year 1958, the Melroe brothers of Melroe Manufacturing Company in Gwinner, N.D. bought the rights to the Keller loader. They hired the Keller brothers to continue refining their loader invention. The M-200 Melroe was the outcome of this particular 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 rear caster wheel, a 12.9 HP engine, a 750 lb lift capacity and two independent front drive wheels. By 1960, they changed the caster wheel along with a rear axle and launched the first 4 wheel skid steer loader that was called 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 company continued the skid-steer development into the middle part of the nineteen sixties and launched the M600 loader.
