Compact Machines for Material Handling & Site Support
Bobcats are commonly used on construction and earthmoving sites where fast material handling and manoeuvrability are essential. They’re suited to tasks such as loading, site clean-ups, backfilling, landscaping and general support work alongside larger machinery. Their compact footprint allows them to operate efficiently in tight access areas while still delivering strong pushing and lifting capability.
At Compass Equipment Hire, we provide bobcat hire across the Northern Rivers with flexible dry hire and wet hire options to suit a range of project requirements. Bobcats are often used to support excavators and tipper trucks by keeping materials moving and maintaining site flow. For jobs requiring attachments or additional earthmoving equipment, we can supply compatible machinery to suit your setup.

When are bobcats preferred over larger loaders on site?
Bobcats are often used where access is restricted or where fast cycle times are needed in confined areas. They’re well suited to support roles on active construction and earthmoving sites.
How do bobcats differ from skid steer loaders?
Bobcats are a type of skid steer loader, with the term often used generically on site. The capabilities are similar, with performance influenced by machine size, attachments and operating conditions.
What should be considered before hiring a bobcat for a project?
Ground conditions, access width and the type of material being handled should all be assessed. Matching the machine to the task helps maintain efficiency and reduces unnecessary wear.
