5 Low-Hour Bobcats at Dubai Machinery Auction

Basel A.May 20, 2026 · 9 min read

Bobcat S510 skid steer loaders are among the most useful construction-fit machines in the upcoming Makana Dubai auction, especially for buyers who need a loader that can handle daily site work. These loaders are built for loading, cleanup, backfilling and tight jobsite movement.

5 Chances To Win A Bobcat S510

Makana's upcoming machinery auction includes not one or two, but five Bobcats at auction! It brings serious value to contractors, and equipment buyers alike with five used Bobcat S510 skid steer loaders going live, the list includes a 2021 Bobcat S510 skid steer loader, three 2017 units, and one 2018 Bobcat S510 skid steer loader, with starting bids from $5,000.

2018 Bobcat S510 skid steer loader2018Czech$6,000
2017 Bobcat S510 skid steer loader2017Czech$5,000

The line-up covers 2017 to 2021 models, Czech-made, GCC-spec, and customs paid, with working hours starting from around 1,300 hours, with unreserved bidding, meaning highest bidder wins, giving contractors multiple chances to bid on a newer-generation skid steer built for everyday jobsite movement, loading, grading, and material handling.

Each loader also delivers the practical specs buyers look for in this size class, including around 3-meter lift height, a 0.33 m³ GP bucket, 810 kg rated operating capacity, and up to 1.6-ton tipping load.

+100 inspected heavy equipment in Dubai online auction

Makana Auction 04 is a timed online heavy equipment auction in Dubai, running from 18 to 22 June. The auction includes 100+ inspected machines already located at Makana Showroom in JAFZA, with no reserve, online bidding, and a fully refundable deposit. 

The auction line-up also includes used excavators, wheel loaders, forklifts, boom lifts, bulldozers, cranes, generators, and other machines for contractors, rental fleets, and machinery traders looking for ready equipment in the UAE. 

Bobcat S510: an upgrader from older models

The Bobcat S510 is not just another compact skid steer in the auction. For buyers who usually look at older Bobcat S130 or S150 machines, this is a chance to step up to a newer, stronger S510 while staying close to the starting bid range many expect from older compact models.

In the Bobcat S130 vs S150 vs S510 comparison, the difference is clear:

  • Bobcat S130: around 600 kg lifting capacity and 1.2-ton tipping load
  • Bobcat S150: around 700 kg lifting capacity and 1.4-ton tipping load
  • Bobcat S510: around 800 kg lifting capacity and 1.6-ton tipping load

That extra capacity matters on real sites. It gives contractors more room for loading, grading, material handling, cleanup, and daily support work, without moving into a larger loader class. So buyers are not only bidding on a used skid steer. They are bidding on a stronger Bobcat upgrade that can do more work from the same compact footprint.

Prefer CAT skid steers? Bid on CAT 226B3 in Dubai

If you prefer Cat over Bobcat, the Cat 226B3 skid steer loader is also available at Makana online auction in Dubai. Low working hours, India manufacture, and UAE customs duties cleared, with a 1.3-ton tipping load, and about 3 m lift height. This makes it a practical Cat alternative for tight-space loading, cleanup, backfilling, landscaping, and daily site support work.

For heavier loading, auction lots like the Komatsu WA470-6 wheel loader are better suited for yards, aggregate piles, and truck loading.

The right choice depends on the job. A Bobcat skid steer works well for cleanup, backfilling, small loading, and working close to buildings. A Toyota 8FBCU25 electric forklift is more practical for pallets on flat warehouse floors, while a Genie S-65 boom lift or Genie GS-4047 scissor lift covers access work.
