They are not only simple and convenient to use, Bobcat skid steers are also extremely powerful and efficient. They are favoured by Construction professionals, landscape design companies and DIYers upgrading their homes. They are called by the manufacturer ‘One Tough Animal’ and have an unsullied reputation in the construction industry.
Skid Steers are pretty lightweight compared to most plant machinery, which means less damage to surroundings when working. Pavements and roads can often suffer cracking, crushing and scratching with some heavier plant machinery. This problem increases site clean up and causes delays, resulting in additional time and money. Skid Steers are designed for performance, and they certainly deliver whether it’s work on concrete or asphalt surfaces. They can also be used on rocky or uneven surfaces with operator care.
Most Bobcat Skid Steers have a tight turning radius and short wheel bases, and all have their own width, weight and height statistics. This means a tailored solution for every project involving demolishing, clearing away debris, carrying, sweeping and more.
As with most of our quality plant machinery, our loaders are available with a range of attachments for each specific task. Sweeper Collector Brushes for clearing areas, Grapple Buckets and Pallet Forks are also handy for grabbing debris and lifting bulky loads.
The benefits of hiring your plant machinery are many, for instance these top of the range vehicles are extremely expensive to buy. Companies are unlikely to buy every single piece of plant machinery and equipment they will need for projects. This would be a huge investment, and even if you could afford to do that there are downsides to ownership. These machines are valuable and as such, frequently the target of thieves despite state of the art security measures. Figures show that plant machinery theft is a major problem in the UK.
There is also the question of storage, unless you have a lot of unused space, you may struggle to find a home for the equipment. You will also need to maintain and service your kit, and be aware that vehicles start to depreciate as soon as they are purchased. Just a few of the reasons that plant is often hired by even the largest contractors. We have a vast range of heavy and small plant for every job in St Albans, so why not check us out?.
