High quality plant machinery is a must for projects in North London, which is why Bobcat features prominently within our fleet. As every construction professional knows, there are many jobs where Skid Steer Loaders are needed. They are extremely manoeuvrable, fast and can be used in the most cramped, awkward spaces. Even at home in the garden! Simple to use and convenient, Bobcat skid steers are also exceptionally powerful and efficient. They are popular with major construction companies, landscape designers and DIYers modifying their homes.
Skid Steer Loaders are called by the manufacturer Bobcat, ‘One Tough Animal’ and have an excellent reputation throughout the construction industry.
Skid Steers are lightweight and quiet compared to most other items of plant machinery, meaning less damage to surroundings when working. Roads and Pavements frequently suffer from cracking, crushing and scratching with some heavier plant machinery. This increases the need for excessive site clean up and causes delays to the job. This unfortunately results in extra time and additional costs. Skid Steers are designed for high performance, and they certainly deliver on surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. With operative care they are also great for use on rocky or uneven surfaces.
These machines are famous for having a tight turning radius, short wheel bases, and their own width, weight and height statistics. This means a bespoke solution for each project whether it’s demolishing, clearing away debris, carrying, sweeping and more.
Ever since manufacturers Bobcat created their first Skid Steer Loader 60+ years ago, they have continued to develop and improve these vehicles. They are market leaders delivering powerful performance, with state of the art security features and exceptional operator comfort. The S70 skid-steer loader for instance, is only 6 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide, and can easily be transported to and from sites. They are also perfect for landscaping or gardening work, and their compact frame means they can be moved through the home to the garden. Narrow corridors, gates, alleyways, aisles and low ceilings pose no problem for this compact plant machinery. When the job is too big for a shovel yet too small for a bigger vehicle, Bobcat Skid Steers are the perfect choice.
Our Bobcat Skid Steer Loaders, as with most of our quality plant machinery, are available with a range of attachments for each particular task. Grapple Buckets will grab debris and lift bulky loads, Sweeper Collector Brushes swiftly clear areas and Pallet Forks will lift a hefty amount of materials.
Hiring your plant machinery can have many advantages, for starters top of the range vehicles are extremely expensive to buy. When you hire from specialists like Rhinos, you know you are getting high quality from leading names. It’s unlikely that companies would be able to afford to purchase every single piece of plant machinery and equipment they might need. This would represent a huge investment, and even so, there are disadvantages to ownership. Thieves are attracted to valuable plant machinery, and this type of theft is rife in the UK according to national statistics.
Storage can also be an issue, unless you have a ton of free space, you may struggle to find a safe home for the machinery. It will need proper maintenance, servicing and possible repairs. Keep in mind that these vehicles start to depreciate as soon as they are purchased. No wonder plant hire is a popular option even with the largest contractors. We have a vast range of heavy and small plant for every job in North London, plus practical advice, so why not check us out?
