When it comes to transporting machinery like Bobcats, relying on professional bobcat transport services ensures safe and prompt delivery to and from the job site.
Bobcats and skid steer loaders are some of the most versatile machines used in construction, landscaping, and farming. In Australia, popular brands include Caterpillar, Case, Kubota, JCB, and Toyota, which are well-regarded for their reliability, performance, and ease of operation.
Whether you’re moving equipment for a one-time project or on a recurring basis, expert bobcat transport services gets your machinery to where it needs to go.
The bobcat’s weight depends on the model and configuration. This weight determines the appropriate truck to ensure safe transport.
One affordable option for transporting bobcats is tilt tray trucks.
These trucks with their tilting tray design, it simplifies the loading and unloading of heavy machinery, making the process efficient and straightforward.
The tray tilts to form a ramp, allowing the Bobcat to be driven or winched onto the tray without complications. This reduces the risk of damage to both the Bobcat and the tilt tray truck, ensuring smooth handling during transport.
If the Bobcat is movable, either powered or unpowered, most tilt trays can carry up to 24 tons.
However, if the Bobcat is unmovable—for instance, if it has jammed tracks, wheels, or gears—a “dead weight” forklift can be winched onto the tray ramp, with a weight capacity of up to 9 tons.
The tilt tray heavy-duty winch is attached to a secure point on the Bobcat, such as its frame or designated lifting points. The winch is activated, slowly pulling the Bobcat onto the tray.
