Compare mini skid steers →Looking for a cheap mini skid steer that's reliable, or a fair compact loader price on direct factory purchase with no middleman? machines-direct is the collective's comparator: it gathers Chinese skid steer loaders in the same columns, for a comparison that's finally fair. Filter, put 2 to 4 models side by side, then configure the one that fits — buckets, attachments, wheels or tracks — and add it to your Selection.
Each brand only receives its own machine; the group-buying collective supports you on the French side. Prices aren't shown on the site: the brand's accredited rep quotes your exact configuration, direct from China, on the group's negotiated terms — including 12 extra months of warranty. Powston is available today; more brands from the collective, such as Nicosail, are arriving with their own ranges.
A compact skid steer loader is chosen first on lift capacity and bucket size: around 380 to 500 kg of lift for landscaping and maintenance, more for heavy handling and construction. Then the chassis: wheeled models are fast and versatile on hard ground; tracked models gain stability and traction on soft terrain. Finally, look at power, engine brand and the emissions rating shown exactly as supplied by the brand (EPA, Euro V…). The comparator lines all these fields up.
The comparator's brands are selected and audited on site by the collective; their accredited reps are versed in EU export formalities (CE, emissions, shipping) and support you from quote to delivery.
