Small Articulated Loaders Attachments

Small articulated loader attachments are work tools that connect to a small articulated loader to expand what the machine can do on turf-sensitive and tight-access jobsites. With the right attachment, a Bobcat® small articulated loader can lift, carry, place, sweep, push snow and handle light grading and cleanup, without swapping machines. 

Small articulated loader attachments are not fully universal. Compatibility depends on the mounting interface, attachment size and weight, machine-rated limits, and hydraulic flow and pressure requirements for powered attachments. Always confirm the attachment is approved for your specific machine model before you connect it. 

Some of the most popular small articulated loader attachments include: 

• Buckets - loading, moving materials and more.
• Augers - drilling holes for fencing, footings, trees and more.
• Pallet forks - lifting, transporting loads and more.
• Grapples or log grapples - handling brush, logs, debris, scrap and more.
• Angle brooms or sweepers - cleaning pavements, surfaces, job sites and more.
• Snow blowers - snow removal, winter management and more.

These attachments are popular because they expand the wide range of jobs a small articulated loader loader can do across material handling, grounds (property) maintenance, landscaping, site cleanup, digging, snow removal and more.

To choose the right small articulated loader attachment, start by reviewing the list of approved, compatible attachments for your machine model. Then narrow your options based on how and where you work, including: 

• The task and finish level – what you need to accomplish and how clean the result needs to be
• Space constraints – access points, working width, turning room and overhead clearance
• Ground and surface conditions – soft ground, slopes, mud, debris or sensitive surfaces 
• Machine limits and hydraulic needs – attachment size and weight, plus required hydraulic flow and pressure for powered attachments

If you’re unsure, contact your authorized Bobcat dealer to confirm compatibility and help match the right attachment to your application. 

You should rent small articulated loader attachments when you need a specialty attachment for a jobsite task, seasonal usability or short-term coverage for one project -- a weekend rental.

You should buy small articulated loader attachments when an attachment will see frequent use and high utilization to provide long-term value across multiple jobs and reduce manual labor. 

To decide whether to rent or buy, consider how often you will use the attachment, the project timeline, storage and maintenance needs, and your overall equipment budget.

Small articulated loader attachments turn a maneuverable, turf-friendly machine into a do-more tool. Match the right attachment to the task and you can take on more work. A small articulated loader can move materials, lift and place loads, clear debris, grade surfaces, handle landscaping work, support property maintenance tasks and more. This added versatility helps operators do more with one compact machine while working efficiently on finished surfaces and in tight spaces with confidence.
