How to Choose the Right Skid Steer

Operating Capacity & Size Class

  • Determine your heaviest load and the site's space constraints to choose a skid steer with the right rated operating capacity and frame size
  • Compact skid steers maneuver well in tight urban or indoor spaces, while larger frame units handle heavier loads and bigger attachments
  • Confirm rated operating capacity for your skid steer rental against your actual load weight to avoid tipping or reduced control

Attachment & Task Type

  • Identify the attachments you'll need, such as buckets, angle broom attachments, fork attachments or hydraulic auger systems, based on the task, including grading, material handling and landscaping
  • Attachment compatibility and hydraulic flow vary by skid steer size, so confirm the machine can power the attachments you plan to use
  • Matching attachments to the task keeps productivity high and avoids costly swaps mid-project

How much do skid steers weigh?

Our skid steer rentals have operating weights ranging from 1,600 pounds for our smallest mini skid steer to 16,300 pounds for our largest heavy-duty tracked skid steer. Contact your local College Station branch for more information about which skid steers we have available.

How many yards of material can a skid steer bucket hold?

The capacity of a skid steer bucket typically ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 cubic yards, depending on the size of the machine and the bucket type. Contact your local College Station branch for information about the bucket size of specific models.

What is the tipping load for a skid steer?

The tipping load of a skid steer is the maximum weight placed in the bucket, with the loader fully extended, that will cause the rear tires of the machine to lift off the ground. Manufacturers determine this limit on a level surface to establish the machine's tipping point. To ensure safe operation, the rated operating capacity (ROC) of a skid steer is typically set at 50% of this tipping load.
