Do you struggle with equipment being too big for narrow alleys during small construction or community renovation?
Do you see rising labor costs because your equipment is not efficient enough?
Mike, a Texas-based construction contractor in the US, had the same troubles—until he used YG’s wheeled skid steer.

US Customer Mike’s Business Pain Points: Stuck in Narrow Alley Operations
Mike focuses on small commercial construction (like community convenience store renovation) and old street repair.
His service covers 3 cities in eastern Texas. His team often works in alleys narrower than 1.5 meters or between buildings.
Common Problems Encountered in Mike’s Projects
- Poor equipment flexibility: His old loader was 1.8 meters wide. It took 10 minutes to turn in narrow alleys, wasting 2 hours daily;
- High labor costs: Where the loader couldn’t go, 2 workers had to carry materials with carts. Each earned $200/day, squeezing profits;
- Delayed schedules: Equipment issues made community projects 3-5 days late, lowering customer satisfaction.

Why Did Mike Choose YG’s Wheeled Skid Steer?
Product Adaptability: Most other wheeled skid steer models are over 1.3 meters wide. YG offers a custom 1.1-meter width—perfect for Mike’s alleys;
Proven Cases: YG showed Mike videos of Canadian and Australian customers using wheeled skid steer for similar projects, building trust.
Why Mike Didn’t Choose Other Equipment
He considered small tracked skid steer, but Texas has mostly hard terrain. Wheeled skid steer is 30% faster on concrete/asphalt than small tracked skid steer — a better fit.

How YG’s Wheeled Skid Steer Solved Mike’s Project Issues
Product Design: Tailored for Narrow Alley Work
Narrow Body + Small Turning Radius: YG’s wheeled skid steer is 1.1 meters wide with a 1.8-meter turning radius. It turns once in Mike’s target alleys;
Quick-Hitch Attachments: It switches between mini buckets and small breakers fast. Mike used it for sand transport in the morning and road breaking in the afternoon;
Energy-Saving Engine: It uses only 5 liters of fuel per hour—15% less than his old equipment, saving $800/month on fuel.
YG’s Customized Service: From Consultation to After-Sales
- Pre-Sales: YG did video surveys of Mike’s worksites, confirming the “1.1m body + mini bucket” configuration to avoid wrong purchases;
- In-Sales: YG updated logistics in real time and reminded Mike of US customs rules, ensuring delivery to the site in 7 days;
- After-Sales: When Mike got stuck changing attachments, YG’s team started a video call in 20 minutes and solved the issue in 10.

Mike’s Feedback: Better Efficiency and Lower Costs
Quantifiable Results: Data Speaks
- 40% Efficiency Increase: Mike finished 2 alley sites daily before; now he finishes 3. Projects are 2 days ahead of schedule;
- 25% Labor Cost Cut: wheeled skid steer handled 80% of manual work. Mike moved 2 cart workers to other roles, saving $10,000/month;
- Higher Customer Repurchase Rate: 3 community projects with wheeled skid steer brought new referrals. Mike’s orders rose by 30%.
Mike’s True Review
YG’s wheeled skid steer understands our needs! I tried 3 other brands, but only this one fits narrow alleys. After-sales is fast—no waiting. I’ll buy YG again for my next equipment.”
