machines are offered with operators,
again ensuring maximum operability
for clients.”
Evergreen contracts are renewed
automatically, or by notice given, year-
on-year until cancelled by either party.
“All our contract timing is designed to
offer financial flexibility, while meeting
client budgets, as well as convenience
and peace of mind,” Koszulinski
asserts.
With clients across construction,
agriculture, transport, warehousing,
mining, and more, the past 12 months
have proved a boon for the rental
division. “In August, we had the
privilege of renting nine units, together
with 18 operators, to the Dickinson
Group, when it was awarded the
furnace-cleaning contract at Consol in
Clayville,” Koszulinski reveals.
“Our relationship with Bobcat
Rental has extended over three years
Our division is
not simply about
machine rental
but aims to meet
the specific
requirements and
applications of our
diverse customer
base.”

to date, which is indicative of the
good standing in which we hold the
company,” Dickinson group director
Dean du Plessis comments. “We
regularly call on Bobcat Rental for all of
our plant requirements over industry
shutdowns, which are critical periods
where efficient customer service and
reliable equipment are vital to assist in
reducing downtime.”
The most popular rental machines
at present are skidsteer loaders,
with Bobcat having the largest rental
skidsteer fleet available in South
Africa. The rental division also offers an
extensive range of attachments, from
road sweepers and trenchers to tar
planers.
All these attachments are
interchangeable, making the Bobcat
skidsteer loader a versatile and
highly efficient piece of construction
equipment. Another highly adaptable
rental machine is the Bobcat backhoe
loader, from digging and trenching
to breaking, or general materials
handling. This is a very reliable
machine that is in high demand,
with 11 in the national rental fleet at
present.
“In dealing with so many different
industries and customers, we find that
our plant being fully maintained and
serviced within the ambit of our rental
agreements ensures huge savings
for our clients, as well as assisting
them in reducing their overheads and
mitigating business risks,” Koszulinski
stresses.
Bobcat Rental’s 24-hour exchange
policy guarantees clients a service
exchange unit at no additional cost
should it prove impossible to repair
a rental unit on site, which adds
to the attractiveness of the rental
option. Here Bobcat’s 24/7 standby
technicians play a critical support
function, in addition to the full backup
offered by the parts division.
As a result, the rental division
continues to experience major growth.
This is largely due to innovative
offerings such as discounted rates for
rental combos, which include a machine
and an attachment, for example.
“Our division is not simply about
machine rental but aims to meet the
specific requirements and applications
of our diverse customer base in the
most efficient and attractive manner
possible. It is this ethos of service,
dependability, and innovation that
underpins Bobcat Equipment South
Africa as a whole,” Koszulinski
concludes.
