Bobcat S70 vs L&T S315R: Which Skid Steer Loader to Buy?

These two machines sit at opposite ends of the same idea. The Bobcat S70 is very compact and built to work where nothing else fits, such as inside buildings, through standard gates, in basements and in narrow lanes. The L&T S315R has more power and carrying capacity, so it does real site loading, clearing and material handling that the smaller machine cannot manage.

Measure your access before you compare specifications. If your regular jobs are inside buildings or through narrow gates, width and height decide everything and the S70 may be the only machine that can enter. If your work is open sites and yards, that small size becomes a limit instead, because every load is smaller and the day gets longer. See the Bobcat skid steer range, the full skid steer loader range, or read our skid steer loader guide.

Bobcat S70 Skid Steer Loader

Pros:

Compact size ideal for tight job sites and indoor applications
Efficient liquid-cooled Kubota diesel engine for reliable performance
Good maneuverability with a light operating weight between 1,268-1,291 kg
Satisfactory dump height of about 1.81-1.88 m for material discharge

Cons:

Lower engine power at 23.5 HP compared to competitors
Rated operating capacity of 318 kg may be limited for larger tasks
Maximum speed of 9.8 km/hr is relatively slow

L&T S315R Skid Steer Loader

Pros:

Higher engine power at 60 HP for demanding tasks
Greater rated operating capacity of 750 kg for more substantial workloads
High dump height of 2270 mm facilitates better unloading
Features ROPS/FOPS safety and easy service access for maintenance

Cons:

Heavier operating weight at 3275 kg which may affect maneuverability
Wider turning radius over bucket of 2097 mm which could limit tight space operation
Engine type is natural aspiration which may not be as efficient as turbocharged or liquid-cooled engines

Closing Recommendation

These machines answer very different problems, so measure your access first. Take the Bobcat S70 if your work is inside buildings, basements and behind standard gates, where no other machine can enter and small loads are simply the price of getting in at all. Take the L&T S315R if you work on open sites and yards loading trucks and clearing material, where more power and carrying capacity finish the day instead of stretching it. So match the machine to your work: Bobcat S70 for indoor and gate width jobs, L&T S315R for open site loading and clearing.
