Our Skid Steer (Bobcat) Fleet Across Diggermate

Across the Diggermate network, we maintain a modern and versatile fleet of mini loaders designed to suit everything from tight-access residential jobs to heavier commercial site work.

All machines in the fleet are regularly serviced, safety-checked, and ready for real-world site conditions, not just light DIY use.

Skid Steer Brands Available in the Diggermate Network

Popular models include compact units like the Bobcat S70 for tight-access work, as well as larger machines like the Bobcat S450 and New Holland L313 for heavier site tasks.

With a mix of narrow and full-size skid steers available (generally ranging from around 900mm up to 1,500mm wide), we can match the right machine to your access requirements, lift capacity needs, and site conditions rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.
