Bobcat S150 Skid steer loaders tech specs

Overview

This loader is ideal for landscaping, small construction sites, light materials work, and rental fleets. Its compact footprint (width ~1.676 m, length ~3.31 m with bucket) lets it navigate tighter spaces, while a decent lift height (~2.2 m dump height) enables loading trucks and bins without overextending.

Performance & Efficiency

Hydraulic pump ~64 L/min, relief ~3,300 psi. The loader cycles are efficient for its size — loading mulch, small aggregates, or moving pallets. Fuel consumption is moderate and repair costs are lower thanks to fewer electronics. Travel speed ~11.7 km/h aids site repositioning.

In Comparison

Compared to Bobcat’s S450 or S510, the S150 is lower in capacity and power, but also lighter and cheaper to maintain. Against compact wheel loaders, the S150 wins in maneuverability and site access, at the cost of tipping capacity and reach.

Verdict

If your site work involves moderate loads in constrained spaces and you don’t need heavy lifting, the Bobcat S150 is a dependable, low-complexity machine. It won’t dominate big material moves, but it will survive in tight zones without drama.
