Facts about Skid loader Talking about efficiency in the construction site, skid loader is one of those pieces of equipment that can be thought of. It has been widely accepted that it is very useful and can assure speed and efficiency at work. This skid loader is known to many names such as slip loaders or skid steer loaders. This equipment is an engine-powered machine that has arms used to attach various kinds of attachments. It is also a four-wheel drive but the right and the left wheels move in opposite direction and independently of each other.
