Skid steers are part of a broader family of compact loaders and are often referred to by various names. Common aliases include 'Skid Steer Loader' (SSL) or simply 'Compact Loader'. Machines with tracks instead of wheels are specifically called 'Compact Track Loaders' (CTLs), though they are often grouped with skid steers due to their similar size and function.

Skid steers are incredibly versatile and are considered the swiss-army knife of the construction site. Their primary uses include digging, grading, pushing, and lifting materials. Thanks to a universal attachment plate, their functionality can be greatly expanded for tasks like trenching, demolition, snow removal, sweeping, and drilling.

The main difference is the undercarriage. Wheeled Skid Steers have four wheels and are faster on hard, flat surfaces like pavement and concrete. They are more maneuverable in tight spaces due to their ability to 'skid' or drag their wheels to turn. Compact Track Loaders (CTLs) have tracks which provide lower ground pressure, superior traction, and stability on soft, uneven, or muddy terrain. Tracks are gentler on lawns but can be damaged by, or cause damage to, hard surfaces like asphalt.

Choosing the right size depends on your project's scale and workspace. They are generally categorized by their Rated Operating Capacity (ROC), which is the maximum weight the machine can safely lift without tipping. * Small Frame (under 1,750 lbs ROC): Ideal for landscaping, interior demolition, and work in tight, residential spaces. * Medium Frame (1,750 - 2,200 lbs ROC): The most popular size, offering a balance of power and maneuverability for general construction and material moving. * Large Frame (over 2,200 lbs ROC): Best for heavy-duty demolition, large-scale earthmoving, and roadbuilding projects where maximum lifting power is required.

Specific licensing requirements vary by country, state, and local regulations. While a special driver's license is typically not required for private use, most rental companies and all professional jobsites require proof of training or competency for safety. In the United States, OSHA requires employers to train and certify their equipment operators. Always confirm with your rental provider and check local regulations before operating.

Generally, no. A standard dirt or construction bucket is typically included with the base rental. However, specialized attachments like augers, trenchers, pallet forks, grapples, or hydraulic hammers are rented separately. This allows you to customize the machine precisely for your task. Be sure to specify which attachments you need when you book your rental.

Rental costs vary based on several factors: the machine's size and capacity, the rental duration (daily, weekly, or monthly), your location, and any attachments you need. Monthly rates typically offer the best daily value. Contact us for a precise quote based on your project's needs.

Always perform a pre-operation inspection for safety. Key checks include: * Tires/Tracks: Check for proper inflation, wear, and any damage. * Fluids: Verify engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant levels are sufficient. * Safety Features: Ensure the seat belt, safety bar (lap bar), and ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) are in good condition. * Controls: Test that all joysticks, foot pedals, and switches are functioning correctly before starting work. * Work Area: Inspect the area for hazards, bystanders, and overhead obstacles.
