FAQs

The right skid steer loader size depends on your project needs. Small and medium skid steers are tough, compact and agile, making them ideal for residential settings where manoeuvrability is essential. Large and extra-large skid steers are better suited for moving sizeable loads of soil, gravel or sand. Talk to our team about your needs and we can assist you with the correct skid steer hire.

No, you don’t need a licence to hire and operate a skid steer loader in Australia. However, you must demonstrate the required competency to operate a bobcat safely. Requirements can vary by state, territory and industry sector, so it's important to consult your local or industry regulatory body for specific details prior to any skid steer hire.

By equipping a skid steer loader with the right attachment, operators can increase efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness, making it one of the most valuable machines on any job site. Popular attachments include buckets, augers, grapple forks, pallet forks, and brush cutters, each designed for specific applications.

The choice depends on ground conditions and surface type. Wheeled skid steers are suited to firm, stable surfaces and offer faster travel across the site. Tracked models provide better traction and stability on soft, uneven or muddy ground.

Attachment choice depends on the type of work being carried out. Buckets are used for loading and grading, trenchers for digging narrow trenches, augers for drilling holes and pallet forks for lifting materials.

A skid steer is best used when space is limited and multiple tasks need to be completed with one machine. Its compact size and manoeuvrability make it suitable for tight access areas, while interchangeable attachments allow it to handle earthmoving, lifting and site preparation without requiring additional equipment.
