Mini skid-steer loaders are versatile tools that can be used in every season for many different projects. With the horsepower to get the big jobs done, and the agility of a compact machine, these machines are designed for rental.
Check out these attachment options with a universally adapting base plate and the ability to add optional hydraulically powered attachments.
- Snow blower attachments
- Bucket attachments
- Sweeper attachments
- Snow pusher attachments
- Snow blade attachments
Snow blower attachments:
Arguably the perfect attachment for the season, a snow blower attachment will clear snow from a road or parking lot. The blower attachments displace snow more efficiently than a bucket or sweeper attachment because snow cleared with a blower can be thrown up to 45 feet, increasing the user’s options for moving large amounts of snow in a hurry.
Bucket attachments:
Scoop away with a universal bucket attachment to clear large spaces quickly. This option works well if users are looking for a more versatile attachment than one exclusively designed for winter, like snow blower attachments. This is a cost-effective solution for multiple seasons and uses, but instead of throwing the snow some distance away like a blower, buckets will simply scoop and move it. Buckets are available in numerous sizes and grades and are a widely manufactured option from many different companies.
Sweeper attachments:
Did the snow leave a light dusting on the lot, but not enough to justify scooping or snow blowing? Consider a sweeper attachment. This attachment would serve multiple seasons of use, from sweeping snow in the winter, to freshening spring sidewalks or clearing away fall leaves.
Snow pusher attachments:
Just as the name implies, snow pusher attachments are designed for moving swathes of snow around.
Snow blade attachments:
The classic curved design of a snow blade is designed for light materials like snow.
In one winter day, the mini skid-steer loader can scoop the snow off the rental lot sidewalk, then turn around to be rented by customers for the same task, or one completely different. Their narrow, agile design works well for clearing snow from parking lots, sidewalks, or stock and loading areas.
