Skid-Steer Loader Attachments
When you want a versatile piece of equipment for use on your construction site or even on your farm or residential property, you need a skid-steer loader. These machines offer you superior maneuverability and rugged durability in one convenient package. However, a skid-steer is only as good as the attachments you equip it with. Because your skid-steer can use different types of attachments, it can complete a wide variety of tasks for you, ensuring that you can use one machine to perform many jobs.
Keep reading to learn about some of the best skid-steer loader attachment options.
Auger
Need to dig a precise hole? An auger attachment helps you accurately and cleanly dig out holes of varying depth and size. There’s no need to grab a shovel and do it yourself. Your skid-steer’s auger can drill those holes into the dirt for fence posts, trees, building foundations and more.
Digger
This classic attachment is very commonly affixed to the front of a skid-steer loader, allowing the machine to dig out a trench easily and quickly. You can also use a digger either forwards or backwards so that you don’t have to readjust or reposition the attachment. Diggers are great for moving items like potted trees around a work site as well. Also, because of the lighter profile of a skid-steer loader, digger attachments tend to cause less damage to a worksite than a larger machine would.
Pallet Fork
Got a warehouse full of pallets to move? Avoid the heavy backbreaking labor of moving them by hand and scoop them up with the pallet fork attachment on your skid-steer! Pallet forks can quickly and easily maneuver pallets, assisting you with loading and unloading shipments.
Bucket
The most standard attachment on any skid-steer is the bucket attachment, which can scoop up and carry around loose materials like dirt, sand, gravel and debris. But you can get different buckets to haul different types of materials, including snow, rocks, animal feed and more.
Backhoe
If you want to make your skid-steer loader into a temporary earth-mover, use a backhoe attachment. This won’t be as large as the backhoe on an excavator, but your skid-steer can handle a lot of tasks with a backhoe attachment.
Hammer
Need to break up asphalt, concrete or rock on your work site? Outfit your skid-steer with a hammer attachment that is powerful enough to quickly smash up those hard materials and make quick work of demolition.
