A sod loader is a specialized piece of equipment used in the material handling industry specifically for the efficient transportation and loading of sod, which is strips of grass and soil harvested for landscaping purposes. These loaders are designed to handle the unique weight and fragility of sod pallets, often featuring a robust lift capacity and a system for gentle handling to prevent damage to the sod. The equipment typically includes features such as a front fork or clamp attachment that can secure the pallet of sod, enabling operators to load, transport, and unload sod with precision across job sites or within distribution centers. Sod loaders enhance operational efficiency by reducing manual labor and minimizing the risk of sod damage during transport.
