Keep Your Project Moving

At Snell Earthworx, our bobcat hire on the Fraser Coast is built for one thing: keeping your schedule on track. We only offer wet hire, so every machine arrives with a licensed, experienced operator who knows how to work fast in tight spaces, trim to level, and leave a clean finish.


Whether you’re prepping a slab in Hervey Bay, reshaping a backyard in Maryborough, or tidying a civil maintenance site, we solve the usual delays, double-handling, and rough finishes by pairing the right loader and attachments with an operator who thinks like a contractor.


You’ll see the difference in fewer passes, better site flow, and tidy edges along driveways and paths. Ready to line up your dates and get it done right? Call (07) 5227 8947 to book your bobcat and operator.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between wet hire and dry hire?

    Wet hire includes the machine plus a licensed operator, ideal for tight access, precise levels and fast productivity. Dry hire supplies the machine only—you handle transport, operation, and risk. Wet hire often finishes sooner with fewer mistakes; dry hire can be cheaper if you’re competent and well-prepared.

  • Do you need a licence to operate a bobcat in Australia?

    There’s no single national “bobcat licence.” Most construction sites require a White Card and verified competency (RTO training or site VOC). Additional rules may apply near public roads, services or specific attachments. Always confirm current state WHS guidance and the principal contractor’s site requirements before planning a dry hire.

  • What size bobcat & attachments do I need?

    Tracks suit soft ground and lawns; wheels are faster on firm surfaces. Choose compact machines for tight access, mid-size for bulk moves, larger for commercial pads. Common attachments include 4-in-1 bucket, levelling bar, auger, trencher and broom. Measure access and plan spoil/material staging to avoid double-handling and save hours.

Well Equipped Skilled Operators

Productivity isn’t just horsepower; it’s also matching tools to tasks. Our crews switch effortlessly between cut & fill, spoil removal, post holes, trenching and final trim because the gear and attachments are dialled in from the start.


A well-maintained fleet, including 1.8 to 21 tonne excavators, bobcats, loaders, various trucks and attachments, means we can scale from backyard access to larger commercial works without bringing the site to a standstill. Operators read ground conditions, choose tracks vs wheels for minimal disturbance, and place materials to reduce rework.


Need waste handled or materials delivered the same day? We coordinate skip bins and sand/soil supply through our local network so your site stays uncluttered and the job keeps rolling across Hervey Bay, Maryborough and the broader Fraser Coast.
