Can a Small Articulated Loader Really Replace Your Skid Steer?

There's yet another new challenger to the humble skid steer. But unlike the CTL or mini skid steer, this machine doesn't have tracks. Instead, it blurs the line between skid steer and compact wheel loader. In this latest episode of Machine Heads, we take a look at the Small Articulated Loader. Originating from Europe, the SAL provides operators with wheel loader like capability in a very compact footprint. With deep attachment support, lifting capabilities up to 8,000 pounds and models that can zip up and down a sidewalk with ease, the SAL is growing by leaps and bounds here in the U.S. We cover everything you need to know about this category, take a look at four competing brands, break down their lineups, and more.
