- What is a skid steer loader ? *

A skid loader or skid steer loader is a rigid frame, engine-powered machine with lift arms used to attach a wide variety of labor-saving tools or attachments. Though sometimes they are equipped with tracks, skid-steer loaders are typically four-wheel drive vehicles with the left-side drive wheels independent of the right-side drive wheels. By having each side independent of the other, wheel speed and direction of rotation of the wheels determine the direction the loader will turn.

Skid steer loaders are capable of zero-radius, "pirouette" turning, which makes them extremely maneuverable and valuable for applications that require a compact, agile loader.

The compact LOCUST loaders are not known from everybody for many reasons : the LOCUST are not produced in quantity  like other brands on the market, the production is medium size. Every machine coming out the factory is rigourously tested at each production step.
