We offer wheel loaders, skid steer loaders, backhoe loaders, and track loaders. Wheel loaders are ideal for loading/unloading materials, skid steers excel in confined spaces, backhoe loaders combine loading with digging capabilities, and track loaders provide superior traction on soft terrain.
What's the difference between a wheel loader and a skid steer?
Wheel loaders are larger machines with articulated steering, higher lift capacity, and faster travel speeds—ideal for moving bulk materials. Skid steer loaders are compact, use differential steering (skidding), and excel in tight spaces. Choose wheel loaders for large-scale operations and skid steers for versatility in confined areas.
How much does a used wheel loader cost?
Used wheel loader prices range from $30,000-$250,000+ depending on size, brand, age, and condition. Compact loaders start around $30,000-$60,000, medium loaders $60,000-$150,000, and large production loaders can exceed $200,000. Caterpillar and Komatsu command premium prices but offer excellent resale value.
What size loader do I need?
Loader size depends on your application: Compact loaders (under 80 HP) suit small construction and landscaping. Medium loaders (80-150 HP) handle general construction and loading operations. Large loaders (150+ HP) are for quarries, mining, and heavy material handling. Consider bucket capacity, lift height, and the materials you'll be moving.
