Overview

This page captures some of the industry standards for skid loaders. This is in regard to safety items, standards of testing, etc.

Safety

  • Skid Steer Design Safety - Good document that contains pertinent information about designing a safe skid steer. Includes ROPS and logical interlocks.
  • ROPS Wiki - The wiki on the Roll Over Protection System (ROPS). Discusses the certification requirements and such.
  • Control Standards - Provides information to match the standards for tractor controls

Design

  • Radial arm tractors usually have max reach at 60" which is the height of a flatbed truck.
  • "Safe Working Load" is defined as half the tipping load (provided it meets structural safety factors as well)
  • Control Standards - Provides information to match the standards for tractor controls

Testing
