Are skid steer loaders different to bobcats? Well, yes and no. Plenty of people in the plant, equipment and construction services space in Perth, 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 Perth, which means you have a job where the machine needs to get into tighter space or work on firmer ground.
Most of the manufacturers of skid steer loaders, such as Caterpillar and Case, dislike the fact that people both from the industry call these machines Bobcats. But at iseekplant – it’s important that we call our categories something that is common and understood amongst people who have an earthworks requirement in Western Australia. If you live outside of Perth, we also have rental suppliers in areas, such as Victoria Park, Crawley, Yokine, East Victoria Park or Osborne Park.
Don't worry - we have plant, equipment and construction service experts who can help determine the best option for your earthmoving project - we're solutions experts with all the answers, whether it's a mini loader, excavator, retaining wall builder, backhoe, surveyor or more.
