Skid Steer Boom

A skid steer boom attachment extends your machine's reach for lifting, loading, and positioning materials. Common applications include placing pallets, setting posts, loading trucks, handling pipes, and reaching over obstacles where standard forks cannot access.

Lifting capacity varies based on boom length and your skid steer's rated operating capacity. Longer boom extensions reduce lifting capacity due to increased leverage. Always consult your machine's specifications and the boom's load chart to determine safe working limits.

Skid steer booms are designed with universal quick-attach mounting plates that fit most major skid steer and compact track loader brands. Verify your machine's attachment plate style and hydraulic requirements before purchasing to ensure proper compatibility.

Yes, skid steer booms offer a cost-effective alternative to cranes for small to mid-size lifting tasks. They provide mobility and versatility on jobsites where crane access is limited or where renting a crane is not practical for lighter loads.

Consider your typical lifting requirements, reach distance needed, and your machine's capacity. Factor in the types of materials you handle most frequently and whether you need additional features like adjustable lengths or rotating hooks for specialized tasks.
