Frequently asked questions
Radial-lift arms shine at digging, grading and ground-level work; vertical-lift arms keep the load tucked in and reach higher, which is better for loading trucks and stacking. Our radial vs vertical guide breaks it down, or tell us the job and we'll point you to the right machine.
It's the safe working load - for a skid steer, typically 50% of the tipping load (SAE). It's the number to size by for everyday work; match it to your heaviest regular lift rather than just buying the biggest.
