The engine powered skid-steer loader comprises a small and rigid frame, outfitted together with lift arms that could connect to various industrial attachments and tools to be able to carry out various labor saving tasks. Typically, skid-steer loaders are four-wheel drive vehicles that 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 enables the rotation direction of the wheels and the wheel speed to determine which direction the loader would turn.
The skid-steer loader could carry out zero-radius turns or "pirouettes." This added feature enables the skid-steer loader to maneuver for certain applications that need an agile and compact loader.
On a skid-steer loader, the lift arms are next to the driver with pivot points behind the driver's shoulders. This makes them different as opposed to a traditional front loader. Because of the operator's closeness to moving booms, early skid loaders were not as safe as conventional front loaders, specially in the operator's exit and entry. Today's' modern skid-steer loaders have numerous features to be able to protect the driver like fully-enclosed cabs. Similar to several front loaders, the skid-steer model can 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 is able to be utilized on a job location rather than a large excavator by digging a hole from the inside. First, the skid-steer loader digs a ramp leading to the edge of the desired excavation, and afterward it utilizes the ramp to excavate material out of the hole. As the excavation deepens, the equipment reshapes the ramp making it steeper and longer. This is a particularly helpful technique for digging below a structure where there is not sufficient overhead clearance for the boom of a big excavator. For instance, this is a common scenario when digging a basement beneath an existing home or building.
There is much flexibility in the attachments that the skid steer loaders are capable of. Like for instance, the traditional bucket of many of these loaders could be replaced with many attachments which are powered by the loader's hydraulic system, consisting of cement mixers, pallet forks, backhoes, tree spades, sweepers, mowers and snow blades. Several other popular specialized buckets and attachments consist of angle brooms, dumping hoppers, wood chipper machines, grapples, tillers, stump grinders rippers, wheel saws, snow blades, and trenchers.
History
The 3-wheeled front end loader was invented in 1957, by Cyril and Louis Keller in their hometown of Rothsay, Minnesota. The Keller brothers created this equipment in order to help mechanize the process of cleaning in turkey barns. This particular machine was compact and light and included a back caster wheel which enabled it to maneuver and turn around within its own length, allowing it to execute the same jobs as a traditional front-end loader.
During the year 1958, the Melroe brothers of Melroe Manufacturing Company in Gwinner, N.D. purchased the rights to the Keller loader. They employed the Keller brothers to continue refining their loader invention. The M-200 Melroe was the end result of this partnership. This particular model was a self-propelled loader that 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 nineteen sixty, they replaced the caster wheel together with a back axle and launched the very first 4 wheel skid steer loader which was referred to as the M-400.
The term "Bobcat" is utilized as a generic term for skid-steer loaders. The M-400 shortly after became the Melroe Bobcat. The M-440 version has rated operating capacity of 1100 lbs powered by a 15.5 HP engine. The company continued the skid-steer development into the mid nineteen sixties and launched the M600 loader.
