Key Specifications


Features & Design Notes

  • The S18 uses a vertical-lift boom path, meaning the loader arms raise more vertically and keep the load closer to the machine, which improves stability at height. goscorearthmoving.co.za+1

  • Solid build: frame design protects hoses and cylinders; good accessibility for maintenance. goscorearthmoving.co.za

  • Compatible with a wide range of attachments (buckets, forks, augers, sweepers, etc.) thanks to its strong hydraulic flow. assets.bobcat.com+1


Use Cases & Suitability

  • Works well for medium-sized jobs where you need more capacity than very small loaders but still need agility.

  • Ideal for construction sites, rental fleets, farms, and environments where vertical lift and stability matter.

  • Because the operating weight is ~2.7 t, transport logistics need to be considered (trailers, ground access, etc.).

  • In Singapore/SEA context: good for sites where you load large buckets, move heavy materials, but still have space constraints.


Considerations / What to Check

  • As with any skid steer: check hours of operation, maintenance history, particularly hydraulics and hoses.

  • Ensure attachments match the hydraulic capacity; if you’ll run high-flow or heavy duty attachments, confirm the machine’s specs meet your needs.

  • Because it’s a larger size compared to ultra-compact loaders, ensure site access (width, height, ground clearance) is adequate.

  • Check local parts availability for Bobcat S18 in your region (Singapore/SEA) and whether servicing is convenient.
