Skid Steer Loader Hire – Toowoomba

Skid Steer Loader Hire in Toowoomba

Are skid steer loaders different to bobcats? Well, yes and no. Plenty of people in the plant, equipment and construction services space in Toowoomba, which is the birthplace of the industry, argue that skid steer loaders are different to bobcats. Bobcat is the name of a manufacturer of skid steer loaders, that would likely have the largest market share in this class of machines in Australia. But a skid steer loader is, in fact, the actual name of the machine and Bobcat is a brand of skid steer loader.

This subject is a real hot button issue for a lot of people. There are two types of skid steer loaders, principally speaking - the first is a posi track, a small loader mounted on a set of small tracks. These machines are agile, but best applied on loose aggregates or wet materials. Alternatively, you might be needing a wheeled skid steer loader for hire in Toowoomba, which means you have a job where the machine needs to get into tighter space or work on firmer ground.
