Which loader lift option is best for you?
When purchasing a skid steer loader, it’s important to consider what lift style and lift path will work best. The key question: “What jobs will this equipment perform most?” You have two lift choices: radial and vertical. “Both machines have the ability to dig, push and level materials. The difference comes when you start lifting items off of the ground,” says Mike Fitzgerald, Bobcat loader product specialist.

Safety procedures help prevent serious injuries
Most skid steer accidents are the result of crushing by moving parts or injury/death by roll-overs. The accident: A 43-year-old landscaper is spreading topsoil to prepare for grass seeding. After his skid steer loader becomes stuck in the mud, the operator raises the safety bar and tries to climb out of the cab with the engine still running. As he stands up and prepares to climb out, his left heel pushes the foot pedal. This raises the lift arm and bucket, which then crushes his chest against the cab. The worker dies in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
