Bobcat industrial equipment has landed in Australia
The mining industry has a new industrial equipment player. Bobcat — yes, that Bobcat— has expanded far beyond the excavators and skid steers you know them for. They now manufacture generators, lighting towers, compressors,and forklifts engineered specifically for the brutal conditions of Australian worksites. The range is substantial – generators from 20kVA up to 1,750kVA, lighting towers pushing up to 360,000 lumens, and compressors delivering between 185 and 1,750CFM.
This is a game-changer for mining, construction, and industrial operations across the country. For the first time, the reliability and innovation Bobcat is known for in earthmoving equipment is now available in portable power and materials handling solutions built to handle Australia’s toughest environments.
Bobcat has appointed Lift Equipt as the exclusive national distributor for their portable power and materials handling range. This partnership brings decades of materials handling expertise together with Bobcat’s engineering excellence to deliver equipment that Australian industry can depend on.
“We’re proud to partner with Bobcat, a fellow industry innovator and leader,” says Lift Equipt CEO Brett Johnston.
“We will continue to provide materials handling plus portable power solutions to some of the largest companies both in Australia and globally.”
Most equipment isn’t built for Australian conditions. Bobcat’s is.
If you run a mine site or shutdown project, you already know the pain of engines that cook themselves in Pilbara heat. Lighting towers that die mid-shift. Compressors that lose airflow on long duty cycles. Equipment that hits performance limits at twenty-five degrees and completely fails when the temperature climbs past forty-five degrees.
Generators built for heat and continuous duty cycles
Mining operations cannot afford power dropouts.
Bobcat generators use efficient engines and high-quality alternators that maintain steady output under extreme load. They are built for high ambient temperatures, long run cycles and the harsh dust conditions that destroy lesser equipment.
The generator range spans 20kVA through to 1,750kVA — enough capacity for everything from remote site support through to major plant shutdowns and power station backup.
Every model offers fast service access, strong fuel efficiency, remote monitoring and safety features that keep machines online while others shut down.
Lighting towers for twenty-four-seven visibility
When work doesn’t stop, neither can your lighting.
Bobcat lighting towers deliver consistent illumination across large work areas with minimal fuel consumption. Engineered for extended run times, these towers operate reliably in high temperatures and dusty conditions where other brands fail.
Compact, towable designs make deployment and relocation fast and simple. Whether it’s mine sites, construction zones, emergency response or events, Bobcat lighting towers provide the visibility your operations demand around the clock.
Compressors that maintain pressure when it matters
Air tools, pneumatic equipment and blasting operations all depend on consistent compressed air supply.
Bobcat compressors are designed to maintain steady pressure output even during extended duty cycles in extreme heat. Built with heavy-duty components and efficient cooling systems, they deliver reliable performance when other compressors overheat and fail.
From portable units for remote sites to high-capacity models for major industrial operations, the Bobcat compressor range provides the airflow and reliability that keeps production moving.
Forklifts engineered for Australian industry
Materials handling doesn’t stop when temperatures soar.
Bobcat forklifts combine the brand’s legendary durability with purpose-built design for demanding Australian conditions. These machines are engineered to operate reliably in heat, dust and continuous-use environments where standard forklifts struggle.
Whether you’re moving materials in a warehouse, on a mine site or at a construction project, Bobcat forklifts deliver the performance and uptime your operation depends on. With lifting capacities and configurations to suit diverse applications, they’re built to work as hard as you do.
National support network
Equipment is only as good as the support behind it.
As the exclusive national distributor, Lift Equipt provides comprehensive service and parts support across Australia. Fast response times, genuine Bobcat parts and experienced technicians ensure your equipment stays operational when you need it most.
Why this matters to mining and heavy industry
The Pilbara, the Goldfields and the Bowen Basin destroy equipment that is not engineered for extreme heat, dust and long duty cycles. Bobcat has earned a global reputation for durability. That same toughness now extends across its portable power and materials handling range.
The combined offer with Lift Equipt is direct and clear.
- Machines engineered to operate up to fifty-five degrees
- Generators, compressors and lighting built for Australian heat and dust
- Strong national stock levels
- Local service and rapid parts support
- A dealer network that reaches metro and remote regions
- Forklifts for warehousing, logistics and underground support operations
The message is simple
You need equipment that stays online, holds voltage, keeps pressure and keeps your site lit. Bobcat Industrial Equipment delivers exactly that. Power, air, light and materials handling backed by national support and machines built for Australia’s toughest environments.
