Bobcat S510 Skid Steer Loader

The Bobcat S510 – it’s a wee, high-powered skid-steer loader that’s all about being handy in a load of different situations: construction, landscaping, and agricultural work. This little guy combines a mighty lift capacity with a teensy footprint – and that gives you the perfect balance of oomph and agility for working in tight spaces or places with all sorts of quirks.

This thing’s powered by a 41 kW (55 hp) diesel engine – not bad for its size – and that means it develops smooth, consistent power while also being pretty thrifty on fuel. The hydraulic system, too, is strong enough to give you responsive control and rapid cycle times – ideal for lugging all sorts of attachments around. And don’t worry about it being weak in the knees either: this one’s got a 850 kg lift capacity and an operating weight of about 2,430 kg, so you’ll get plenty of grunt for jobs like loading, grading and shovelling stuff around.

The Bobcat S510 has Bobcat’s tried-and-trusted vertical-lift-path design, which means you get a higher reach and better dump height – a real bonus for loading trucks and dealing with palletised materials. And the Bob-Tach quick-change system lets you swap between things like buckets, forks, augers, sweepers and trenchers with hardly any fuss at all – so you can get the job done with minimal downtime.

Inside the ROPS/FOPS certified cab, your operator benefits from a comfy ergonomic layout, good visibility and quiet working conditions. And because it’s easy to get to all the bits and bobs under the bonnet, maintenance is a doddle. Compact, efficient, and built to last, the Bobcat S510 is a reliable all-rounder that’s ideal for contractors who need to get the job done in tight spaces.
