Frequently Asked Questions
What is a positrack used for in construction?
A positrack, or compact track loader, is commonly used for tasks like soil movement, spreading material, site levelling, and landscape preparation. Its tracked design gives it greater traction and stability than wheeled alternatives, especially on soft, wet, or sloped ground. Contractors use positracks for everything from backfilling trenches to clearing rubble and prepping for turf or paving. Their compact size and lifting capacity make them a versatile addition to both residential and commercial worksites.
What’s the difference between a skid steer and a positrack?
While both are compact loaders, the main difference is in their movement system. A skid steer uses wheels and is better suited for hard, flat surfaces, while a positrack uses rubber tracks that perform better on loose or muddy terrain. Positracks distribute weight more evenly, making them ideal for landscaping, wet areas, and environments where ground damage needs to be avoided. They also offer a smoother ride and better grip in challenging conditions.
Do I need training to operate a positrack?
In most private or non-public site settings in NSW, formal licensing isn’t required to operate a positrack. However, you must be competent and understand safe operating procedures. On commercial job sites or where Work Health and Safety (WHS) rules apply, a white card and verification of competency (VOC) may be necessary. If you’re unsure, consider wet hire options where an experienced operator is provided with the machine.

Positrack loaders are the go-to solution when conditions are soft, space is limited, or precision is key. Their wide rubber tracks distribute weight more evenly, reducing damage to surfaces while offering excellent grip in wet or uneven terrain. Whether you're shifting materials, grading soil, backfilling, or prepping ground for landscaping, positracks offer speed and stability with minimal surface disruption.
