Compact track loaders are designed to operate in the most extreme conditions where wheeled machines cannot; this is due to their rubber track undercarriage that provides a good weight distribution for the loader and allows the track loader to operate on soft ground without losing traction or sinking into the ground when unloading materials during site preparation, landscape construction, residential home construction and other forms of building with very little disturbance to the surrounding area.
The use of efficient engine technology and advanced hydraulic systems in compact track loaders provides the operator with smooth and responsive control when performing their tasks and consistent and repetitive strength when lifting and lowering materials. The compact size of compact track loaders allows operators to work in very tight spaces while also allowing continuous use of these loaders in very high-stress applications due to the added strength and durability of their reinforced frames and other components. Operators using compact track loaders will find greater comfort and safety when using these machines because of the ease of operation with their ergonomically designed controls and clear sight lines to see around their tracks when they are working.
Common applications for compact track loaders include loading materials, grading materials, backfilling, removing snow, site preparation. Compact track loaders are very versatile due to their quick attach systems and ability to accommodate many different types of attachments so that the loader may be used for many different job types.
