A skid-steer loader, usually just called a Bobcat, is the smallest loader on a site and often the busiest. It turns in its own length, fits through gates and between buildings that a wheel loader cannot reach, and takes on the loading, levelling and clearing that would otherwise be done by hand.
Maxtgc rents compact skid-steer loaders from its Mussafah yard, with a certified operator, or self-drive at a reduced rate if your crew holds valid, in-date certification. Every machine is serviced on a fixed schedule and checked before it leaves.
Typical jobs are yard clean-up, spreading sand and aggregate, loading small trucks and preparing ground for paving or interlock, in workshops and yards as well as on construction sites.

Bobcat or backhoe loader?
Choose a Bobcat when space is the constraint. It is narrower and shorter than a backhoe loader, turns on the spot, and works comfortably inside compounds, between buildings and in warehouse yards.
Choose a backhoe loader when the job needs digging as well as loading, or when material has to be lifted into a full-size truck. A skid-steer is a loader first: it does not dig trenches, and its lift height suits small tippers and skips rather than large trucks.
Attachments
A skid-steer is only as useful as what is on the front. A general-purpose bucket covers most loading and levelling work.
Tell us what you need the machine to do when you book, and we will confirm which attachments are available for it.
Getting it to site
Skid-steer loaders travel on a flatbed or small trailer and are among the quickest machines to deliver. Same-day dispatch is standard for Mussafah sites.
We do not publish rate cards, because hire length, operator, delivery distance and site conditions change the price for the same machine. Send the job details and you get a firm AED quote. Our guide on what affects rental rates explains each factor.

Bobcat Rental in Abu Dhabi: FAQs
Is a Bobcat the same as a skid-steer loader?
Bobcat is a manufacturer, but on UAE sites the name is used for most compact skid-steer loaders.
How much can a Bobcat lift?
A typical compact skid-steer has a rated operating capacity of roughly 700 to 1,400 kg depending on the model. It is built for loading and levelling, not heavy lifting; for heavier loads a forklift or telehandler is the better choice.
Can a Bobcat work inside a building?
Yes. It is commonly used for clean-up and debris removal inside buildings during fit-out or demolition, as long as the floor can take its weight and the doorway is wide enough. Tell us the opening width when you book.
Do you rent Bobcats with an operator?
Yes. Every skid-steer can be supplied with a certified operator. If your own operator holds valid, in-date certification, self-drive hire is also available at a reduced rate.
