When you hear the term track loader, it might mean one thing to you and another to somebody else. A Track Loader is a type of machine that you will see on some construction jobsites and there are many types of track loaders and they have dramatically developed over the past three decades. Just as things change and evolve over time, so to machines and the way we use machine on our construction jobsites. Let’s take a look at the two main sorts of track loaders that are on the market today. Compact Track Loader

The first track loader and what people who have been in the industry a long time will identify as a track loader is a machine that almost appears like a track type tractor or a dozer. It is a machine that sits comparatively low to the ground and runs on tracks, there are no wheels involved in this machine. The tracks are the same tracks you’ll see on a dozer machine and all of the elements are made of steel. It is a machine that doesn’t move terribly fast at all with a top speed of around five miles per hour. The huge difference between a dozer and a track loader is that rather than a straight blade on the front end of the machine there is a loader bucket and can pick and move material.Track Loader

A more recent sort of track loader is essentially a slip steer on tracks rather than wheels. This type of machine has become very talked-about as it is able to go a load more places and work in a ton more environments than a traditional wheel powered skid steer. Like the traditional track loader, this compact loader machine has a steel undercarriage but almost all of the elements are covered in rubber. These machines also go extremely fast comparatively and can reach speeds of up to ten miles per hour. These machines are quite popular with landscapers and they have really low ground pressure and won’t bug newly laid sod, grass, or fresh landscaping work. Track Loader
