What challenges do skid steer loaders generally face when operating in complex terrain?

[DIG-DOG]

Traffic difficulties

The road conditions in complex terrain are poor, with frequent potholes and bumps on the ground, and obstacles such as boulders and tree stumps. The skid loader has a low chassis and limited ground clearance. If you are not careful, it will hit the bottom, causing damage to the equipment; when encountering soft land, sand or muddy areas, the tires are very easy to sink. The more you struggle, the deeper you sink, making the machine unable to move, seriously hindering the forward movement.
Limited power and efficiency

When climbing and crossing obstacles, the engine needs to output strong power and sufficient torque, but complex terrain will consume a lot of power, resulting in insufficient power and difficulty in climbing. In addition, the work site is narrow and the route is tortuous. The loader frequently turns and adjusts its position, which greatly increases the idle time, interrupts the continuity of the operation, and greatly reduces the overall work efficiency.
Difficult steering and control

Although the skid loader has a flexible four-wheel steering system, it is difficult to exert its steering advantage in complex terrain. When one side of the tire is stuck in a mud pit or a crack in the stone, forced steering can easily cause rollover; the rugged terrain will also interfere with the operator's control accuracy of the steering wheel and joystick. If the movement is slightly deviated, it may collide with surrounding objects.
Hidden dangers of blind spots in vision

The complex terrain is undulating and there are many obstructions. The operator's vision is seriously obstructed, and there are large visual blind spots. It is difficult to accurately judge the position of the bucket and the scope of operation when driving, and it is easy to accidentally hit obstacles, which will not only damage the equipment, but also cause injuries to people.
Increased equipment loss

The uneven, hard and rocky ground will quickly wear out the tires and chassis; frequent bumps and vibrations will also bring great impact to key components such as the hydraulic system and transmission chain, causing them to loosen and deform, greatly shortening the service life of the equipment.
Safety guarantee problems

The complex terrain adds many uncontrollable factors. In bad weather, geological disasters such as landslides and mudslides may strike at any time; when the equipment suddenly fails, it is difficult for rescue vehicles to arrive at the scene in time, and maintenance and rescue work cannot be carried out quickly, leaving the operator in a dangerous situation of being isolated and helpless.
