Compact size, maneuverability, low operating and owning cost, and the ability to power a variety of attachments make skid-steer loaders one of the handiest pieces of equipment at the jobsite. Concrete contractors can use skid-steers for the total concrete operation - to place sand and to excavate, grade, compact, and haul fresh concrete. And for demolition, skid-steers break up old concrete and haul away the rubble.
