Why Do They Call It A Skid Steer?
In the world of construction machinery, skid steer loaders are known for their agility and versatility. But have you ever wondered why they are called “skid steer” loaders? Today, let’s follow TEVIS and uncover the story behind this name.
Why the Name “Skid Steer” Loader?
Unlike traditional loaders, skid steer loaders feature an independent drive and steering system for each set of wheels. This design enables two unique turning capabilities:
Zero-Radius Turning: When the wheels on each side rotate in opposite directions, the skid steer loader can spin around its center point, achieving zero-radius turning. This exceptional maneuverability allows it to navigate tight spaces with ease, significantly enhancing work efficiency.
Lateral Movement: When both sets of wheels move at the same speed but in opposite directions, the skid steer loader can move sideways—just like a crab. This feature is especially useful for precise positioning and avoiding obstacles.
This unique “skid steer” turning mechanism gives the loader unparalleled flexibility, making it the perfect choice for working in confined and complex environments.
