THE MOST POWERFUL IN OUR LINEUP. THE MOST PRODUCTIVE IN YOURS.The SK1550 is an all-around powerhouse, minimizing your downtime and increasing your ROI, making it the ultimate member of any crew.
Features may include:
POWER- Powered by a 43.5-hp (32.8 kW) Stage V Yanmar® turbo-charged diesel engine, the machine is equipped to handle tasks typically suited for traditional skid-steer loaders. Directs 34.5 hp (25.7 kW) to the attachment for efficient and productive use of high-capacity attachments. And, auxiliary flow control with low, medium and high flow settings allows operators to make adjustments to attachment flow and run attachments at their most efficient rate.
- The SK1550 is equipped with a 94-inch (2.4-m) hinge-pin height which provides flexible loading and unloading for a wide range of dump sites. Best-in-class 1,558-lb (707-kg) rated operating capacity for lifting heavier loads, and exceptional 9-inch (230-mm) ground clearance for improved productivity on challenging terrain. The machine is capable of 4.7-mph (7.6-km/h) ground drive speed both forward and in reverse, improving jobsite cycle times. The SK1550 has more than 50 percent higher capacity than all other stand-on skid steers in its size class.
- The SK1550’s design provides the smoothest ride in the industry with outstanding maneuverability and stability while carrying heavy loads. With 3,700 psi and maximum 16 gpm, the SK1550 directs substantial pressure to the attachment, increasing machine versatility. Dual auxiliary connections allow operators the ability to utilize advanced attachments for enhanced productivity when handling heavier loads, including logs, trees and sod.
- The construction-grade, durable design is made for heavy-duty jobs, leading to extended machine life and increasing overall ROI. Unique open track design gives the SK1550 fewer obstructions allowing debris to escape track system. With no daily maintenance and no daily grease zerks, ease of maintenance is improved, and total cost of ownership reduced.
- The SK1550 is equipped with a best-in-class, 332-in (843-cm) operator platform for improved comfort and stability. Ergonomic operator station comes standard with dual-lever ground drive controls allowing the operator to control each track independently for precise mobility. A manual throttle enhances the operator’s ability to manage ground speeds for increased efficiency on the jobsite. Equipped with an auxiliary detent switch, which frees the operator’s hands and feet for improved comfort.
