Types of Skid Steers

Manitou Skid Steers (link) – Manitou Group is a leading manufacturer of rough terrain material handling equipment. Built for durability, Manitou skid steers are rugged, versatile machines that can handle any job site challenge. Skid steers are commonly used to move material and heavy loads.  They are a preferred machine on most construction sites due to being lighter than their larger counterpart, track loaders. This makes them easier to transport, often without freight costs.  Starting a new project? Give us a call to find the right machine for your needs and budget.  

Rough Terrain Skid Steers – The perfect choice for semi-compact surface areas, such as loose dirt and gravel, Manitou rough terrain skid steers are built to deliver powerful performance and maneuverability in all conditions. Manitou rough terrain skid steers are your answer to harsh job site conditions.  

Track Loaders – A versatile performer, Manitou track loaders are perfect for use on softer ground such as snow, mud, or sites with soft surfaces. Equipped with IdealTrax, these compact track loaders can get you in and out of spaces that inferior machines would not be able to handle. Trust Manitou track steers to get the job done when you can't risk getting bogged down. 

Vertical Lift Skid Steer – Both track and wheel-based skid steer loaders can be equipped with a vertical lift option. The weight is kept closer to the machine with a vertical lift. As a result, they can lift more weight and have higher lift heights than radial arrangements. The lift configuration makes them great for work done above eye level. Skid steers with vertical lifts are particularly good at handling building materials and loading soil into dump trucks. As a result, they are ideal for material-handling applications. 

Radial Lift Skid Steer – The radial-lift is also available for skid loaders with track and wheels. The lift chart of a radial lift skid steer changes dramatically from the ground to full lift height. The lift chart indicates that it has a higher lift capacity at lower levels. At higher levels, the lift capacity decreases. At the mid-point, it also has a slightly longer horizontal outreach. As a result, they are ideal for working below eye level. Excavation, digging, and snow removal are all examples of this. 

Skid Steer Attachments – Manitou manufactures many attachments, like bucket grapples, snow blades, shovels, and stump removers! Depending on your operations, our attachments provide your machine with extra versatility. Manitou attachments are designed to work in tandem with our equipment to ensure the operator and machine safety.
