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
- US Occup. Safety and Health Standards for Agriculture - US Department of Labour information on the safety and health standards for Agricultural vehicles
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
- this are the standard control symbols
Testing
- OECD Standard Codes - For the Official Testing of Agricultural and Forestry Tractors 2011
- Agricultural Tractor Test Standards in America - University report that talks about all the different standards associated with tractors and their respective governing bodies and their local vs global reach.
