When you hear the term track loader, it could mean one thing to you and another to someone else. A Track Loader is a type of machine that you’ll see on some construction jobsites and there are numerous sorts of track loaders and they have seriously evolved over the past three decades. Just as things change and evolve over time, so to machines and the way in which we use machine on our construction jobsites. Let’s have a look at the two main kinds of track loaders that are on the market today. Compact Track Loader

The first track loader and what folk who’ve been in the sector ages will identify as a track loader is a machine that almost appears like a track type tractor or a dozer. It’s a machine that sits relatively low to the ground and runs on tracks, there are no wheels involved in this machine. The tracks are the same tracks you’ll see on a dozer machine and all the elements are made of steel. It’s a machine that doesn’t move awfully fast at all with a top speed of around five miles per hour. The big difference between a dozer and a track loader is that rather than a straight blade on the front end of the machine there is a loader bucket and can pick and move material.Track Loader

A more recent sort of track loader is largely a skid steer on tracks rather than wheels. This type of machine has become very popular as it is in a position to go a load more places and work in a lot more environments than a traditional wheel powered skid steer. Like the conventional track loader, this compact loader machine has a steel undercarriage but almost all of the elements are covered in rubber. These machines also go intensely fast comparatively and can reach speeds of up to ten miles per hour. These machines are reasonably popular with landscapers and they have really low ground pressure and won’t annoy newly laid sod, grass, or fresh landscaping work. Track Loader
