They focus mainly on the production of longboard decks, mostly for carving, freeriding, and dancing, although they also produce wheels (under the sub-brand Orangatang) and accessories, such as sliding gloves.

Loaded's team has been credited with innovating the creation of marketing videos showcasing the sport of longboarding, and their production of videos has led competitors to also start producing creative and elaborate videos.

Loaded sponsors amateur riders through a program called Loaded Ambassadors, which also allows the sponsored riders to upload videos to Loaded Ambassadors' specific YouTube channel.
