Rental attachments are add-on work tools you can rent to expand what a compatible machine can do on the jobsite. Match the right attachment to the right carrier, and you get job-ready capability without bringing in another machine. 

Rental attachments can help you push through more work with the equipment you already have on site, including: 

• Lifting, loading and material handling 
• Digging, drilling and trenching 
• Sweeping, cleanup and debris handling 
• Grading and surface prep 
• Seasonal work like snow management 

You can rent many types of attachments. Common rental attachment options include: 

• Material handling: buckets, pallet forks, grapples 
• Digging and installation: augers, trenchers 
• Demolition and breakout: hydraulic breakers 
• Cleanup and sweeping: angle brooms, sweepers 
• Ground prep: soil conditioners 
• Vegetation management: brush cutters 
• Snow tools: snow blades, snow pushers 

Availability varies by location, season and carrier type. 

Yes, you can rent multiple attachments for one machine. One carrier can run multiple attachments so you can move from task to task without renting a second machine – as long as each attachment is compatible with your specific machine. Confirm fit and requirements with your authorized Bobcat dealer or rental provider before you schedule the rental. 

To choose the right attachment for your job, first confirm it matches the machine. 

Start with the job: 

• Material type: dirt, rock, debris, pallets, snow 
• Finish level: rough move, clean grade or final cleanup 
• Site conditions: soft ground, tight access, indoor vs. outdoor 

Then verify machine fit: 

• Mount/interface compatibility 
• Rated operating capacity and stability limits 
• Auxiliary hydraulics (flow/pressure) and couplers/hoses needed 

Before you reserve, confirm compatibility with your authorized Bobcat dealer or rental team – it’s the fastest way to avoid a mismatch and keep your job moving. 

To attach or install a rental attachment, follow the machine’s Operator’s Manual and the rental provider’s instructions. In general: 

1. Park on level ground and lower the lift arms/attachment to relieve load. 
2. Shut down, set the parking brake and relieve hydraulic pressure. 
3. Connect the attachment to the mounting interface and confirm the locking mechanism is fully engaged. 
4. Connect hydraulic couplers if needed, then test functions at low throttle. 

If anything doesn’t seat, latch or operate smoothly – stop and ask the rental provider. 

Renting lets you pay for capability only when you need it. It’s a smart move when you want: 

• More versatility without a bigger upfront investment. 
• The right tool for a one-off job or busy season. 
• Less storage, maintenance and long-term ownership overhead. 
• Flexibility to choose the best attachment for each project, not just what’s on the trailer.
