Whether skid loaders are covered under 1910.178 depends on whether the equipment was designed primarily as earthmoving equipment. If it is primarily earthmoving equipment, then 1910.178 does not apply. See the following two OSHA Letters of Interpretation for additional information:
- October 21, 1999 – Earthmoving equipment is not covered by 1910.178; skid-steer equipment may be covered
- March 07, 2000 –Applicability of 1910.178 to earth moving equipment and skid steer loaders
