I. Introduction to Wheeled and Tracked Skid Steer Loaders

(I) Wheeled Skid Steer Loaders

A wheeled skid steer loader is an engineering equipment that uses the difference in linear speed between two – side wheels to achieve vehicle steering. It features better mobility and higher traveling speed, and is suitable for heavy – duty and harsh terrain operations such as mining, forestry, and farmland, where the working environment is complex.

The advantages of wheeled skid steer loaders are remarkable. The large contact area between its tracks and the ground and low ground pressure allow it to operate stably on soft or muddy soil without sinking or slipping easily. It has excellent climbing ability and can handle relatively steep slopes with ease. In addition, it has good stability and traction, making it suitable for operations that require high – stability work.

However, wheeled skid steer loaders also have some limitations. Their traveling speed is relatively slow, and the cost of track wear and maintenance is high. When traveling on hard ground, the tracks may cause certain damage to the ground.

(II) Tracked Skid Steer Loaders

Tracked skid steer loaders, on the other hand, use a crawler – type walking mechanism. They have stronger off – road capabilities and load – bearing capacities, suitable for heavy – duty and harsh terrain operations, such as in mines, forests, and farmlands with complex working environments.

The advantages of tracked skid steer loaders are significant. The large contact area between its tracks and the ground and low ground pressure enable it to operate stably on soft or muddy soil, with good passability and stability. It has excellent climbing ability and can handle relatively steep slopes with ease. In addition, it has good stability and traction, making it suitable for operations that require high – stability work.

However, tracked skid steer loaders also have some drawbacks. Their traveling speed is relatively slow, and the cost of track wear and maintenance is high. When traveling on hard ground, the tracks may cause certain damage to the ground.

(III) Precautions for Use

1. Precautions for Wheeled Skid Steer Loaders

• Ground conditions: Try to operate on hard and flat ground. Avoid long – term travel on wet, muddy, or soft soil to prevent getting stuck or slipping. If it is necessary to operate on such ground, auxiliary equipment like anti – slip chains can be considered.
• Tire maintenance: Regularly check the tire pressure and wear. Ensure the tires are in good condition. Replace severely worn tires in a timely manner to ensure driving safety and stability.
• Operation in special environments: In high – temperature environments, special solid tires can be selected; in environments with a lot of dust, air – tight protection measures for the engine and air – intake system can be taken.

2. Precautions for Tracked Skid Steer Loaders

• Track tension: Regularly check the track tension to ensure it is appropriate. Too loose a track may lead to detachment, while too tight a track will increase wear and power consumption.
• Track cleaning: After operation, clean the tracks to remove mud, debris, etc., to reduce track wear and corrosion.
• Terrain adaptation: Before entering a work site, fully understand the terrain conditions. Avoid sharp – turn operations on hard ground as much as possible to reduce track damage.

For example, in an indoor renovation project, it can easily transport construction materials to the designated location.
2. RS20 (Tracked) The RS20 is powered by a Yanmar 4TNV98C – PLYS engine, with a maximum power of 49.9Kw and a maximum horsepower of 67.4ps/66.5hp. It can handle large – scale earth – moving and material – handling tasks on large – scale construction sites, such as building high – rise buildings or large – scale infrastructure projects.

(II) Operating Comfort

1. RS07 (Wheeled) In small – scale construction sites or urban road maintenance, the RS07’s wheeled design gives it excellent mobility and steering flexibility. It can freely move and turn in narrow spaces, such as in some old – style residential area renovation projects, where it can easily shuttle between buildings and complete tasks like debris removal and material transportation.
2. RS20 (Tracked) The RS20’s tracked design gives it high stability and passability. On large – scale construction sites with uneven terrain, it can maintain stable movement and complete various tasks without being affected by the terrain. For example, in a large – scale bridge construction project, it can transport a large amount of building materials stably.

(III) Multi – functional Attachments

1. RS07 (Wheeled) RS07 can be equipped with various attachments such as a hydraulic breaker, wood grabber, etc. These attachments can be quickly replaced to meet different task requirements.
