What is a skid steer loader?

Easily manoeuvred, compact in size and compatible with dozens of attachments, skid steer loaders are suitable for a wide range of applications. From moving materials on a construction site or cleaning barns on the farm to landscaping parks, gardens or building roads. The size of skid steer you need depends on the task required and the size of the work site.

Originally designed with a steerable rear wheel the concept evolved to make all 4 wheels fixed. The weight is distributed so that one end is always heavier than the others. When the wheels on the heavier end counter rotate to pivot the loader, the wheels on the lighter end are ‘skidded’ in the direction of the turn.

These compact loaders can be driven on wheels or tracks which can be operated at different speeds to create a skidding effect during operation. The ‘skidding’ motion results in zero-degree radius turns, ideal for working in tight spaces and precision demanding tasks. The skid motion makes these loaders very efficient in working conditions where the ground is uneven.

Who makes the best Skid Steer loader?

Manitou has specialised in the design of loaders and forklifts for several decades. This extensive experience has led to the development of a range of machines which precisely meet the handling requirements of agricultural and construction professionals. With Manitou skid steer loaders, you can easily travel on all types of ground. Designed to be compact, Manitou Skid Steers are ideal for working in congested or cramped work areas.

Not only compact, Manitou skid steer loaders have the advantage of being extremely versatile. A wide range of attachments are available to carry out a diverse range of tasks. Using a skid steer loader for these tasks replaces time consuming manual labour on smaller sites.

Manitou Skid Steer Loaders are manufactured using highly reliable components in a robust and resistant structure. The manufacture and design make Skid Steer Loaders a great investment with a high resale value providing they come with low hours and have been well maintained in-line with manufacturer requirements.

What sizes of Manitou Skid Steer Loader are available?

Skid steer size refers to the size of the frame, the rated operating capacity (ROC) and horsepower (HP). Skid steer loader sizes can be categorised by Small Frame (800kg |under 50hp), Medium Frame (800kg – 1000kg | 50 – 70hp) and Large Frame (1,000kg+ |70hp+). The size you need depends on your job requirements and site dimensions.

Small Frame skid steers are best suited to applications including interior demolition, landscaping or any projects that require moving between narrow spaces or around tight corners. The smaller the loader, the easier it is to transport the equipment between work sites.

Medium Frame & Large Frame Skid Steers are best suited to roadworks and larger scale, more heavy-duty applications.

Who uses a forklift?

Forklifts are used by many diverse sectors, such as manufacturing, equipment distribution, foods industries and waste management as well as professionals in agriculture and construction industries.

What are the different size forklifts?

Forklifts are available in a variety of lengths, widths, mast heights and lifting capacities.

What is a forklift designed to do?

A forklift is designed to lift and move materials over short distances.

What categories of forklift are there?

Manitou now offers you a wide range of ranges: all-terrain forklift trucks (MC, M); electric (ME), internal combustion (MI) and hydrostatic transmission (MSI) forklift trucks particularly adapted to rougher terrain applications.

What is the difference between a reach truck and forklift?

On a counterbalance forklift, the forks stick out from the front of the vehicle and there are no protruding arms or legs; meaning the truck can be manoeuvred right up close to the racking or location of the load. A reach truck takes its name from the machine’s ability to ‘reach’ out further than its stabilising legs.

How do I choose a forklift?

When selecting the right forklift, the primary criteria are the load capacity, the lift height, the fuel type and the tyre composition:

Lift Height

How high do you need to lift your loads? If you need to load/unload from trailers, pay attention to the lowered mast height of the forklift.

Capacity

What is the maximum weight you need to lift? It’s important to buy a forklift that can handle more than your heaviest load. Keep in mind that attachments will reduce your forklift’s capacity. The most common forklift capacities are:

1000kg or less | 1,000 – 3,000kg | 3,000 – 3600kg | 3,600kg – 5,550kg | 5,500 – 8,000kg | 8,000kg +

Fuel – Electric or Internal Combustion

IC forklifts use traditional engines that run on different types of fuel (CNG, diesel, gas, or liquid propane). Electric forklifts are powered by batteries. If you handle food, you’ll likely need an electric forklift to adhere to emission requirements. However, many applications that once used IC forklifts are finding that electric conversion saves both time and money.

What kind of forklift do I need?

Important factors to consider are where you are using the forklift; Will it be used indoor or outdoor or both? How wide are the aisles and doorways? Will it be used on concrete or rough terrain?

It is also important to work out how many hours per day and how many hours per week you will use the forklift.

What type of forklift is best for indoor use?

The best forklift for indoor use, such as warehouses is a Manitou ME electric forklift.

What type of forklift would you use in a confined space?

The type of forklift best suited to use in confined spaces is a Manitou ME electric 3 wheeled forklift.

What is a warehouse stacker?

Warehouse stackers are devices for lifting, stacking and storing loads at height. They are particularly useful for storing goods and preparing orders. Unlike pallet trucks, stackers therefore allow you to handle loads in a high position: different lifting heights and load capacities are offered depending on the model.

What are stackers used for?

Stackers are often multi-purpose equipment. Compatible with various accessories, they allow you to carry out several handling, warehousing and storage operations in your warehouses and industrial sites.

Manual stackers can handle boxes, containers, pallets, drums, tools, coils and rolls etc. Electric stackers usually have higher load capacities and are able to transport pallets, loads or bulky packages up to several metres high.

What is an electric stacker?

Electric stackers from Manitou have a relatively similar structure to the manual models: two forks and a vertical mast allow the handling of loads. However, these devices have a motor and a battery that automates the lifting device.

What are the different types of warehouse stacker?

Both manual and electric stackers are currently available on the market.

Manitou offers a large number of manual stackers: the Kléos range includes all our references. These stackers are compatible with 6 interchangeable tools.

Manitou electric stackers are part of the Stacky range.

In addition to conventional electric stackers, Manitou offers you electric mast stackers (ES range). These devices can handle loads from 1000 to 3000 kg. The height of their masts is between 1.5 and 5.40 metres. The ES electric stackers are also available in a framing beam version (allowing the picking up of pallets and closed loads) and an initial lift version (ideal for working on uneven ground or slopes).

How do you use a manual pallet stacker?

Manual stackers are composed of two forks mounted on rollers and a vertical mast. The lifting of the load is carried out by means of a hydraulic pump with lever: the lifting is carried out with precision by lateral movements of the lever. An operator is required to operate the lifting device.
