Describe your job and our suppliers will send you quotes
iSeekplant is the premier online marketplace in Australia, connecting construction professionals with a wide range of construction equipment and services. With a vast catalog of equipment from over 25,000 verified suppliers in commercial and civil construction, we offer a huge selection of bobcat and truck combos for hire.
Bobcat and truck combos are extremely useful for jobs that require both excavation and transportation of materials, spoil or soil. A bobcat, more accurately known as a skid steer loader, is a compact and agile machine designed for digging, lifting, and loading materials, whereas a truck is used for transporting these materials to and from the worksite. Many Bobcat and Truck combos can also include a mini excavator for digging and trenching applications.

Below we cover the general hire rates and types of Bobcat and Truck combo’s available for hire.
Bobcat and Truck combos are available for wet hire (with operator) and dry hire (without operator). However, wet hire is more common and involves the combo coming to your jobsite and undertaking tasks at your instruction with a qualified operator of both the truck and the bobcat (and the mini excavator, which is also often included). Dry hire is relatively uncommon but some operators will hire to you on that basis. Here are the average hire rates (which are our best guesses, vary greatly by region and exclude GST):
Combo Type | Avg. Dry Hire Rates (per hour) | Min. Dry Hire Hours | Avg. Wet Hire Rates (per hour) | Min. Wet Hire Hours |
---|---|---|---|---|
Bobcat and Tipper Truck | $80 - $150 | 8 Hours | $100 - $200 | 4 Hours |
Bobcat and Flatbed Truck | $90 - $160 | 8 Hours | $110 - $210 | 4 Hours |
Bobcat and Water Truck | $100 - $170 | 8 Hours | $120 - $220 | 4 Hours |
Below are tables of general rates for other types of combos for hire. There is literally a whole pile of variants of combos, including different sizes and operating weight of the machinery, and capacity of the trucks. These are some very general rates, are our best guesses and exclude GST.
