Electric skid steers for sale: Yuchai S35 Pro and S35 Max
A skid steer loader is a compact loader that steers by turning the wheels on each side at different speeds, so it turns within its own length on tight sites. In Australia it is often called a bobcat, after the brand that built the first skid steers. DJJ Equipment sells two Yuchai electric skid steers, the S35 Pro and S35 Max, from our branches in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. We sell skid steers rather than hire them.
Our electric skid steers
- Yuchai S35 Pro: a 21.29 kWh lithium battery for 6-8 hours of work and a 1,540 kg operating weight.
- Yuchai S35 Max: a larger 29.17 kWh battery for 8-9 hours of work and a 1,620 kg operating weight.
Both share the same machine: a 350 kg rated operating capacity, a 0.29 m³ bucket, 17 kW of combined power from a 9 kW motor and four 2 kW wheel motors, a 3,245 mm maximum operating height and a width of 959 mm. Both fast-charge from 30% to 80% in about 1 hour, so the battery can be topped up at a break.
Where a small electric skid steer works best
At 959 mm wide and 1,815 mm to the top of the cab, the S35 fits through gates, narrow side passages, doorways and low-height areas that a larger loader cannot reach. With no exhaust at the machine and low noise, it suits indoor work, landscaping in backyards, demolition clean-up inside buildings, livestock sheds and sites near homes or the public.
Mini skid steer or a bigger machine?
The S35 is a mini skid steer with a 350 kg rated operating capacity, sized for access and light material handling rather than heavy earthmoving. If the main job is digging, a mini excavator digs deeper and faster in hard ground; many small sites run an excavator to dig and a skid steer to carry and level.
Battery and running costs
Choose the S35 Pro if your days are shorter or you can charge at lunch, and the S35 Max if the machine has to run a full day without charging. Check the power supply where you will charge. An electric skid steer has no engine oil, fuel filters or exhaust system to service, which keeps routine maintenance simple.
Warranty and support
Both models show a 5 year or 20,000 hour battery warranty and a 1 year or 2,000 hour structural components warranty on the product page. Every machine we sell gets a pre-delivery inspection before it leaves us, and DJJ Care covers scheduled maintenance, parts replacement and technical assistance after purchase. Servicing, repairs and parts come from our branches in Silverwater, Meadowbrook and Bayswater, with on-site service within 50 km of each branch. Ask our team which attachments suit the S35's hydraulics.
Before you choose, check:
- Gate, passage and doorway widths on the way in
- The weight of what you lift and carry
- Hours a day and where the machine can charge
- Attachments you plan to run
- How you will move the machine between sites
Tell us the job, the access and your daily hours, and our team will help you choose between the S35 Pro and S35 Max. Call 1800 355 388 or send an enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you speak with the team.
Should I buy a skid steer or a mini excavator for digging?
Buy a skid steer if most of the work is moving, levelling and loading material, with lighter digging such as shallow trenches in soft ground. Buy a mini excavator if digging is the main job, since it digs deeper and faster in hard ground. DJJ sells the Yuchai S35 Pro and S35 Max electric skid steers and Yuchai mini excavators, but does not hire either, so tell us the jobs and hours and we will help you choose.
How long does the S35 Pro run on a charge?
The S35 Pro's 21.29 kWh battery runs for 6-8 hours and fast-charges from 30% to 80% in about 1 hour, while the S35 Max runs for 8-9 hours. Real run time depends on the work, attachments and conditions, so tell us your daily hours and tasks and we can check it against your duty cycle.
What is the difference between the S35 Pro and S35 Max?
Both are battery electric with a 0.35 t rated operating capacity, 17 kW combined power and a 0.29 cubic metre bucket. The S35 Pro has a 1.5 t operating weight and the S35 Max 1.6 t, and both show a 5 year or 20,000 hour battery warranty on the product page.
Is a skid steer the same thing as a bobcat?
Yes, in everyday Australian use. Many people call any skid steer a bobcat, after the brand that built the first skid steers, but the S35 Pro and S35 Max sold by DJJ are Yuchai machines.
Do I need a licence to operate a skid steer?
A skid steer is not a forklift, so the forklift LF licence does not apply, but operators still need training and the business must manage the risk under WHS law. Confirm requirements with your state regulator.
Can an electric skid steer work indoors or near people?
A battery electric skid steer produces no exhaust at the machine, which makes it better suited than diesel to enclosed spaces. Ground or floor conditions, site traffic rules and keeping people clear still apply, so tell us about the site before choosing.
