What type of steering does the loader have?

• A. Mechanical
• B. Articulated
• C. All-wheel steering
• D. Hydraulic

Answer: (B)

Articulated steering refers to a two-piece loader built with a hinge in the middle that allows the front and rear sections to pivot relative to each other. Turning the steering control moves hydraulic cylinders at the articulation joint, bending the chassis so the machine rotates more like a hinge than by turning wheels alone. This design gives a very tight turning radius and excellent maneuverability, which is ideal for working in confined spaces. It’s different from mechanical or hydraulic steering, which describe how the wheels are steered, and from all-wheel steering, which is a steering mode rather than the defining two-piece, articulated layout.
