"skid steer loader"的定义和意义

What is a "skid steer loader"?

A skid steer loader is a small, versatile machine used for digging, lifting, and moving materials on construction sites or in agriculture. It has a rigid frame and is equipped with lift arms at the front, which can be attached to various tools, buckets, or other attachments, such as forks or a shovel, making it suitable for tasks like loading dirt, gravel, or debris. The name "skid steer" comes from its unique steering system, where the wheels or tracks on each side move independently, allowing the machine to turn sharply in tight spaces. Skid steer loaders are commonly used in construction, landscaping, and farming due to their ability to work in confined areas and perform a variety of tasks efficiently.
