Although on the small end of construction equipment, skid steers with 2,201-pound rated operating capacities and up are playing a large role in operator comfort and productivity.

“From 2000 until 2005, the unit-size-class popularity changed from the 1,500-pound class and up to the 1,800-pound class,” says Jamie Wright, product manager, Terex. “This 1,800-pound class range is still popular, however, and now with increased engineering technology, the 2,201-pound and up sizes are starting to make a huge mark in the industry.”
