Multi Terrain Loaders Work

What They Can Do
You've probably seen skid steer loaders, and maybe a multi
terrain loader, around commercial construction sites or landscaping
projects. Their small size and maneuverability allows them to operate in
tight spaces. Their light weight allows them to be towed behind a full-size
pickup truck, and the wide array of work-tools makes them very flexible.
Main Entry: front-end loader
Function: noun
Date: 1954
: a usually wheeled vehicle with a hydraulically operated scoop in front
for excavating and loading loose material -- called also front loader.
The skid steer loader is a smaller and
more specialized version of the front-end loader that was developed in
the 1950's by two brothers, Louis and Cyril Keller at a blacksmith
shop in Rothsay, MN. for a turkey farmer. (See History)
Skid steer loaders are used to dig and move landscaping and building
materials. But the machines can also grade, jackhammer cement and load
trucks, as well as many other tasks, which we'll see later.

When ground conditions are soft or more traction is required, the tracks
on the multi terrain loader make it the logical choice of machinery.

The Caterpillar Skid Steer Loader and Multi Terrain Loader are neat
machines. Since they are powered entirely by hydraulic pumps, there is
no mechanical transmission.
