  • Skid steer loader - more versatile than a jack of all trades
    February 17, 2012
    The skid steer loader has for many years been known as a jack-of-all-trades. Indeed the term loader can be a bit misleading, as a skid steer is far more than simply a digging or lifting machine. Skid steers, and their more recent compact tracked loader stablemates, are the original powered tool carriers. They are designed to work with a host of attachments, not just a bucket or pallet forks. However while this concept of one base machine and a multitude of attachments has been a big success in North America

  • Simulation: a big theme for 2017
    March 6, 2017
    This year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG promises a number of new developments in the field of simulation as advances in software and virtual reality enable a wider and wider range of applications. Machine manufacturers have used simulation for years, first in the R&D process and then for training. Now educational institutions, as well as specialist training providers, are able to afford the technology.
