My company is looking to purchase a propane or electric powered skid steer for indoor use. It must be 36" wide max, and sit in. This has been very difficult to find, if anyone knows of anything similar feel free to let me know. Thanks

Also, diesel is not an option even with a scrubber

It would be used to move piles of loose material, similar to dirt or gravel, in a factory setting. I've been looking at conversion kits as well but am lacking the info to make a good decision. Any advice would be appreciated!

a wheel barrel and a shovel?
the size your looking at , I doubt you will find any machine that size, as it woudn;t be practical for anyone to make one that small
being so narrow( 36 wide MAX) and all, I don;t see it being built by any company, center of gravity would be way off to handle any real weight I would imagine!
you might be better off looking at powered wheel barrows and again, a shovel to fill them, or a conveyor belt set up to load/unload things!

The Bobcat S70 (and previous 4xx) models were 36" wide or less: https://www.bobcat.com/na/en/equipment/loaders/skid-steer-loaders/s70

And I did see that Bobcat is partnering with a company to retrofit machines to electric power: https://www.equipmentworld.com/alte...fit-a-first-step-toward-an-allelectric-future

They show a small mini-ex that they've retrofitted: https://viridiparente.com/green-machine/e10-bobcat-compact-excavator

Perhaps they could do the same with the S70?

If you can find any GASOLINE powered machines the size you want it is a pretty easy conversion to get them to run on propane.

A bobcat 450(same size as 463/S70) or earlier 440 is what you are looking for. They are both gas powered, hydrostatic drive and can be fitted with the narrow wheels for a 36" wide clearance. They can be converted to propane.
