10 Mar 2021 Editorial Team

Rightly called as the “Jack of all Trades”, a skid steer loader (SSL) can perform numerous functions with aplomb.

Hyunsoo (HS) Kim, Director Commercial, Doosan Bobcat India, speaks with Equipment India on the demand for SSL in India, and some of the unique features of SSL.
