A tracked loader or crawler loader is an engineering vehicle consisting of a tracked chassis with a front bucket for digging and loading material. The history of tracked loaders can be defined by three evolutions of their design. Each of these evolutions made the tracked loader a more viable and versatile tool in the excavation industry.

Skid-steer loaders are sometimes equipped with tracks instead of the wheels, and such a vehicle is known as a compact track loader. [7] Skid steer loaders, both wheel and track models, operate most efficiently when they are imbalanced – either the front wheels or the back wheels are more heavily loaded.

A loader is a heavy equipment machine used in construction to move or load materials such as soil, rock, sand, demolition debris, etc. into or onto another type of machinery (such as a dump truck, conveyor belt, feed-hopper, or railroad car).
When used as a loader the single boom (rather than twin arms) is very highly loaded and is a weakness, even with careful design. A vehicle which has a 5,000 lb (2,300 kg) lift capacity with the boom retracted may be able to safely lift as little as 400 lb (180 kg) with the boom fully extended at a low angle.
The Caterpillar Challenger MT875B was the most powerful production tractor available during its span with 430 kW gross (580 hp) engine power. [6] In 2007, the MT875B broke the world record for most land tilled in 24 hours with a custom-made, 14 metres (46 ft) disc harrow fabricated by Grégoire Besson. [7] It tilled 644 hectares (1,590 acres).
