Mini Loaders, Dumpers & Attachments Hire

Mini loaders are used for digging, trenching, moving soil and loading materials in areas with limited access. They're ideal for landscaping, site prep and small construction jobs. With wheeled, tracked and remote-controlled options available for hire, mini loaders provide a cost-effective alternative to hiring a full-size loader, skid steer loader or mini excavator.

Yes. Mini dumpers are built for uneven terrain and compact worksites. With a low centre of gravity, traction control and powerful torque, our mini dumpers can carry up to 800kg loads up steep gradients while maintaining stability on slopes or soft surfaces.

Hiring attachments with your mini loader allows you to perform multiple tasks, such as trenching, lifting, spreading and backfilling. Popular mini loader attachments include a post hole digger (or auger), trencher, 4-in-1 bucket, pallet fork, ripper, grader blade and an earth leveller. Coates offers cost-effective mini loader attachment packages that include a bucket, trencher and post-hole auger.

Choosing between a mini loader and a traditional skid steer loader (like a Bobcat) depends on your project needs and the surface you’ll be working on. Mini loaders are typically narrower, ideal for tight access areas and offer a wide range of attachments. Skid steer loaders excel in maneuverability with zero-radius turning, making them perfect for precision tasks. Contact our team for expert advice on the right equipment for your job.
