Bobcat S70 Hire Questions
What jobs suit the Bobcat S70?
The Bobcat S70 excels on tight residential and commercial sites where a larger loader won’t fit. It handles landscaping prep, small slab prep, spoil removal, and material handling with ease. Compact dimensions, a radius lift path, and reliable diesel power make this skid steer hire Brisbane option efficient for backyards, driveways, and narrow access lanes.
Can it access tight residential sites?
Yes. With a 1,150 mm overall width and 1,814 mm height, the S70 moves through many side gates and low ceilings where larger loaders can’t. Its short 2,472 mm length helps manoeuvre in courtyards and garages, making it a true tight access skid steer for inner-city Brisbane and suburbs around Greenbank.
Which attachments can we run?
The standard front auxiliary hydraulics and Bob-Tach quick-change interface support buckets, pallet forks, sweepers, augers, breakers, landplanes, stump grinders, and tillers. Tell Flourish Hire your task and we’ll match suitable Bob-Tach attachments for your Bobcat S70 hire so you get clean cuts, accurate holes, or faster clean-ups on schedule.
How is transport handled for hire?
We can deliver within 50 km of Greenbank at $2.50 per km one-way, or supply a trailer with heavy equipment for customer transport when suitable. No after-hours pickup/return is offered. This skid steer delivery Brisbane service keeps your crew focused on the job while we handle logistics and handover.
What are the hire requirements?
Minimum hire age is 18. Bring a valid Australian driver licence or international passport. A $200 security bond applies per item and is released 2–3 business days after inspection. Payments are processed via Stripe through Booqable on pickup. Hours are 6:30 am–6:00 pm daily with the same rates for Bobcat S70 hire every day.
How long can we hire it?
The minimum hire period is 24 hours. Early returns incur no charge for unused days. Late returns have a two-hour grace period; from the third hour it’s $10 per hour. Plan your skid steer rental to cover loading, transport, and site cleanup so you avoid unnecessary downtime and stay inside your timeline.
What about fuel and cleaning?
The Bobcat S70 runs on diesel. Return it full or a $2.50 per litre refuelling charge applies. Equipment must be reasonably clean; excessively dirty returns attract a $50 cleaning fee. Keeping your skid steer hire clean and fuelled speeds inspection, helps us release your bond quickly, and reduces turnaround delays for your next booking.
What happens if it breaks down?
If the S70 breaks down due to no fault of the hirer, we refund the hire fee. Call 0455 494 558 with the item, issue, location, and photos if available. Flourish Hire supports every Bobcat S70 rental with straightforward troubleshooting and fast swaps where possible, keeping your crew productive and your project on track.
What power and controls should operators expect?
Expect a Kubota D1005-E4B-BC-3 diesel delivering 23.4 hp through a smooth hydrostatic drive. Direction and speed are via two hand levers; lift and tilt use separate foot pedals. The radius lift path makes mid-height loading predictable. This compact skid steer gives precise control for careful work near structures, fencing, and services.
Is the S70 safe for new operators?
The S70 includes ROPS, seat bar, seat belt, interlock controls, and work lights. We email the operator’s manual and photograph condition at handover. Typical in-cab noise is LpA 86 dB(A). Basic loader experience is recommended; always wear PPE and work within the machine’s rated operating capacity for safe skid steer hire use.
We had limited backyard access through a 1.2 m side gate and a steep path. Flourish Hire suggested the Bobcat S70 with a 4-in-1 bucket. The loader squeezed in easily, levelled garden beds, and moved spoil without tearing up the lawn. Delivery was on time, the machine was clean, and the same weekend rate kept costs predictable for skid steer hire Brisbane.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Landscaping a courtyard in Mount Gravatt, we needed precise cuts and clean-ups without upsetting neighbours.
