ABSTRACT:
A skid-steer vehicle has a housing defining a driver's compartment and a loader arm that permits the driver to enter and leave the vehicle through left and right side access openings. The arm is constructed to eliminate the hazardous condition of entering from the front of the vehicle or from a side where the loader arm crosses the access space. The housing includes first and second spaced apart support frames. Each support frame includes a forward and a rearward upwardly extending member joined at an upper portion by a connecting member. The forward, rearward and connecting members, define a side access opening to the driver's compartment. The loader arm has a rearward portion which is pivotally attached to the rearward members of the support frames and a forward portion and a middle portion connecting the forward and rearward portions such that when the loader arm is either in an up position or a down position, the loader arm does not extend into the access openings.
