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

Across the Diggermate network, our skid steer fleet features trusted industry brands such as Bobcat, Wacker Neuson, Toyota, JCB, New Holland and Huski. 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.

This flexibility allows one machine to complete multiple tasks, reducing downtime and machine changeovers.

To select the right skid steer, consider:

  • Ground conditions
  • Load capacity requirements
  • Attachment needs

Your local Diggermate team can recommend the best setup for your job, ensuring you get the right machine without overpaying for unnecessary capacity.
