Purchase Considerations for Small-to-Medium Skid Steers

摘要

According to global market estimates supplied by LiuGong Machinery, worldwide skid steer loader (SSL) sales for 2016 are around 65,000 units. Consumption in Japan and China barely registers on the chart, and demand in Europe will likely be 5,000 units or so. The rest of the word, excluding North America, will account for some 15,000 units, leaving the lion's share of consumption-perhaps 40,000 plus machines-for North America. The skid steer, obviously, remains a popular machine, despite increasing competition from compact track loaders and compact wheel loaders.
