Uses and classifications of multifunctional small skid steer loaders

Jul. 18, 2025

Skid steer loader is also called skid loader, multi-functional engineering vehicle, and multi-functional engineering machine. It is a wheeled special chassis equipment that uses the linear speed difference of the wheels on both sides to realize vehicle steering. It adopts a wheeled walking mechanism, all-wheel drive, and skid steering. It can quickly replace or attach various working devices at the work site to adapt to different working environments and work contents. The power of the skid steer loader is generally 20 to 50 kilowatts, the main machine mass is 2000 to 4000 kilograms, and the speed is 10 to 15 kilometers per hour. It is mainly used in places where the work site is small, the ground is uneven, and the work content changes frequently. It is suitable for infrastructure construction, industrial applications, dock loading and unloading, urban streets, residences, barns, livestock houses, airport runways, etc. At the same time, it can also be used as auxiliary equipment for large-scale engineering construction machinery.

Classification of multi-functional small skid steer loaders

According to the walking mode, it can be divided into: wheeled multi-functional skid steer loaders, crawler multi-functional skid steer loaders;

According to the purpose, it can be divided into: skid steer loaders, excavator loaders, etc.

According to power, it can be divided into: small multifunctional skid steer loader (below 3T), medium multifunctional skid steer loader (3-5T), large multifunctional skid steer loader (above 6T);

Purpose of multifunctional small skid steer loader

Uses and classifications of multifunctional small skid steer loaders

1. Used for narrow site operations

Since its minimum turning radius is less than half of that of the same level of articulated loaders, it is particularly suitable for operations in narrow sites such as urban infrastructure, roads or construction sites, factory workshops, warehouses, docks, ship decks and even cabins.

Due to the short wheelbase, the skid steer loader is particularly agile in a small space. In a small space, the skid steer equipment can not only provide the original loading operation, but also realize various types of engineering operations through accessories, maximizing the speed of engineering construction. At the same time, thanks to the comprehensive design, the self-owned lighting system can provide comprehensive engineering lighting.

The cab of the skid steer equipment is in the center of the equipment, which can fully guarantee the safety of the operator while ensuring stability.

2. Used for operations on undulating and uneven ground

The use of all-wheel drive and the absence of an inter-wheel differential are conducive to operations on undulating and uneven ground.

The diesel turbine engine and high-performance full-size tires, as well as the ultra-short wheelbase design, make the off-road capability of the skid significantly stronger than other similar equipment. At the same time, the flexible use of the bucket during operation ensures that it can support small-scale transportation while ensuring its passing capacity.

The speed change system responds to the demand for high load-bearing capacity, providing high torque power output while ensuring power.

3. Used for logistics support operations of large construction machinery

Sliding requires ground cleaning accessories during ground cleaning. Such accessories can clean the remaining tile debris from ground construction at high speed, and can quickly clean dust through fast-rotating bristles.

This construction process is not only suitable for construction machinery, but also for small and special environments such as cabins.

4. Used as a mobile pump station

The skid equipment, which was born for multi-functions, can provide hydraulic interfaces of various models and flows, ensuring both diversity and availability.

In construction projects, diverse operations use only a single power system. The fuel-saving effect of the engine design of the skid itself is crucial. While ensuring fuel saving, ensuring the efficiency of related construction projects is also a top priority.

5. Used for snow removal and cleaning operations

With snow removal and ice removal accessories, the skid equipment can quickly clear large areas of snow and ice. At the same time, benefiting from the mobility of the equipment itself, it ensures the effective and wide-range operation of related equipment.
