Bobcat Skid Steer Loader

Equipment Description: Bobcat (Skid Steer Loader)
The Bobcat, locally known as "بوبكات", is a compact and highly versatile loader, designed as a single integrated unit with multiple construction uses. It is commonly used for excavation, soil loading and transport, and operations in tight spaces that require flexibility and easy maneuverability. Bobcats come either with small tires or tracks and are distinguished by the wide variety of attachments that can be mounted, such as asphalt planer (milling head), sweeper, breaker, auger, trencher, and many more.
Features of the Bobcat
-
High maneuverability: A unique advantage of Bobcats that makes them ideal for narrow areas. For this reason, some call it "Hawas" (the agile one).
-
Multi-purpose use: Capable of performing excavation, loading, transporting, and material distribution with a single machine.
-
Flexible lifting arms and rotation: Operates with an advanced hydraulic system for easy control without a complicated steering wheel, making it simple to learn and highly productive.
-
Variety of attachments: Thanks to its multiple attachments, a Bobcat can replace several other machines and efficiently handle different tasks.
How much does it cost to rent a Bobcat?
Rental price depends on the size and power of the Bobcat. Rates usually start from 200 SAR per day or more. The rental cost is also affected by location and rental duration (daily, weekly, or monthly).
What are the most popular types of Bobcats?
The name "Bobcat" does not refer to the machine type itself, but rather the company that invented it. Globally, these machines are known as Skid Steer Loaders.
In Saudi Arabia, the most popular models include Bobcat S130, as well as models from other companies such as Caterpillar and Case.
