used in the construction industry is the skid steer loader; also

loader is designed to move
heavy weights of material in limited spaces, and can be used with
myriad attachments to essentially create multiple specialized
tools, many powered by the machine's hydraulics.
In the construction industry skid loaders are used for purposes
from digging and laying a building's foundation to moving
construction and roofing materials on call right to the worker
