Equipment – Chequered Bobcat & Tipper Hire

Our Gear – Modern, Well-Maintained Machines Ready for Your Job

G’day from Chequered Bobcat & Tipper Hire! Steve runs a tight ship out of Wingham, and that means we only use late-model, properly serviced machines. Less bogging, less downtime, cleaner finishes and safer sites for our customers across Taree, Wingham, Forster, Old Bar, Harrington, Nabiac, Gloucester and the whole Mid North Coast.

Every machine gets a pre-start check every single day, a full service on (or before) schedule, and a good wash so we don’t drag half of yesterday’s job onto yours.
