Turn Your Loader Into a High-Capacity Dozer With Sibom’s skid steer U-type blade

A compact loader is celebrated for agility, but when the jobsite demands big-volume pushing—whether that’s corralling gravel on a rural county road or plowing late-season drifts across a commercial lot—agility alone falls short. Swap your bucket for Sibom’s skid steer U blade attachment and a CAT 262, Bobcat T770, or Kubota SVL75 suddenly drives like a purpose-built dozer, only without the extra engine, transport permits, or maintenance line items. One quick couple and your machine inherits the material-hugging capacity of a full U-dozer, the fine control of a grader, and the cold-weather stamina of a highway plow.

A curved steel scoop that owns every load

At the heart of the design is a deep-dish, U-shaped dozer blade forged from high-strength, abrasion-resistant plate. The continuous curve funnels spoil toward the center pocket, preventing side spill and giving the attachment its legendary high capacity U blade reputation. Operators pushing base rock ahead of a paving screed or rolling sand into arena banks report moving 30-plus percent more volume per pass compared with straight or S-type blades. The secret is geometry: side wings angle forward, locking granular material in the “bucket,” while the contoured moldboard keeps fines rolling, not bulldozing and boiling over. Dirt, mulch, silage, coal, snow—the shape never changes and the efficiency never falls.

Heavy metal built for heavier abuse

Sibom starts each heavy duty U blade by press-braking one-quarter-inch alloy into a self-supporting arch, then stitch-welding gusset ribs inside the shell. A boxed push frame ties directly to the universal quick-attach plate, delivering bulldozer-level strength without torquing the loader towers. Pins are forged, not machined from mild bar, and spin inside self-aligning bushing blade sleeves that drink grease and shrug off grit. A reversible cutting edge blade of high-carbon wear bar bolts to the heel; flip it when the bevel rounds, or sub in an optional serrated edge U blade for frozen ground and compacted shale. End shoes take replaceable Hardox skid pads, so you ride high on asphalt and drop low on clay without eroding parent steel.

All of that means fewer weld repairs, longer service intervals, and a long life U blade attachment ready for rental fleets that thrive on zero-surprise returns.

Hydraulics that work as smart as they are strong

Connect two flat-face ports and the hydraulic U blade attachment wakes up: left-right angle, ±10° tilt, and optional wing float all run off a single loader circuit. High-flow CAT machines enjoy lightning response; Bobcat’s standard flow still swings the moldboard in under three seconds thanks to matched cylinders and a load-balance valve. Operators on Kubota track loaders love the fingertip detent that holds a set angle while back-dragging windrows, turning the implement into a "back drag U blade" for snow cleanup or final gravel dressing.

Prefer mechanical simplicity? Order the mechanical U blade skid steer kit—fixed wings at the sweet-spot angle, ideal for cold-weather county sheds where salt can gum pilot valves. Either version installs with the same quick-tach and flat face coupler blade plumbing, keeping tool changes under one minute.

Adjustability for perfect passes

Every jobsite is different, so Sibom built in adjustability everywhere:

• Angle adjustable U blade wings rotate to cast spoil right or left for culvert shoulder pulls.

• Adjustable angle U blade moldboard pivots up to 25° for trail maintenance or crowning rural lanes.

• Quick-change pin settings let crews widen tine slots for large aggregate or close them for topsoil, making one frame a truly customizable U blade.

• A bolt-in heel block sets maximum dig depth, protecting paved sub-grades during municipal snow removal.

Cold-weather warrior by design

In snow belt country the blade doubles down as a U snow blade skid steer: the curved wings act like a box plow, trapping heavy drifts ahead of the loader. Contractors swear by the snow pushing U blade for zero-spill passes along strip-mall curbs; highway departments rely on the U plow blade skid steer variant to capture wind-blown shoulder fluff in a single run. A polyurethane edge option preserves decorative concrete, and bolt-on markers keep CAT cabs aligned at night under LED floods.

Material master for every season

• Gravel U blade moves base before hot-mix day.

• Sand U blade shapes beach volleyball courts and horse tracks.

• Soil U blade cuts grade on residential pads.

• Manure U blade cleans dairy alleys; swap to the silage U blade wear edge and load bunker feed.

• Forestry debris U blade pushes logging slash without snagging stumps.

• Demolition cleanup blade corrals broken block faster than a bucket brigade.

Real-world wins from the first push

A Kansas site-prep contractor shaved two full days grading a 40-lot subdivision by replacing his straight blade with a Sibom site leveling U blade. An Ontario dairy co-op shifted feed in half the usual passes because the large volume U blade swallowed an entire mixer-wagon dump each approach. A Colorado ski resort fitted a CAT 299 with the U bulldozer blade option and cleared parking lanes in record time after a four-foot storm—no side spill, no over-stack, no loader spin-outs.

Ownership math that adds up quickly

A dozer and operator cost hundreds per hour. A Sibom versatile U blade on a loader already idling on site adds pennies to fuel use, zero to transport, and minimal to maintenance. Better yet, the attachment multiplies machine utilization: push fill in the morning, backfill trenches at noon, windrow mulch by afternoon, and plow snow after midnight. Fleet managers love the low maintenance U blade grease-and-go routine; accountants love equipment line items that pull four-season profit.

Order once, dominate forever

Every Sibom premium U blade attachment ships pressure-tested, powder-coated and ready for abuse. Bolt on serrated, smooth, or poly edges. Register the serial for two-year structural coverage, lifetime tech chat, and next-day parts. It arrives in a welded cradle—fork it off, snap to your CAT, Bobcat, or Kubota, and feel the loader dig like it’s wearing a dedicated dozer body.

Scoop, push, grade, plow—your skid steer can do it all with Sibom’s U blade skid steer attachment. When the curve captures more, you move more, you bill more. Clamp in, curl forward, and start pulling profits from every pass.
