Bobcat On Demand Of East York
Services Offered:
Machine rentals with operator, hourly-based rate
All equipment, as seen above on this page, available for use on your jobsite, with our experienced operator to run it for you. What can we do for you?
Depending on what machinery you order, we may be able to do:
- Backfilling (for this, order a bobcat, not to big to get safely around the excavation)
- Grading (order a bobcat, suggestion: maybe one with tracks, and a dozer blade)
- Site cleanup (and many other similar miscellaneous machine tasks, a bobcat)
- Landscaping (wide range of tasks, some using a bobcat, others a mini-excavator
Auger post holes (generally using a bobcat, bit sizes from 6" through 36")Interlocking/Paving (use bobcat to excavate dirt and put in gravel base)Resodding (bobcat to strip old sod, or soil conditioner to till it in, spread new topsoil)Retaining walls, walkways (bobcat or mini-ex to excavate & install new base)Auger post holes (generally using a bobcat, bit sizes from 6" through 36")Armourstone Rockeries & Walls (inquire about our specialized equipment)- Excavations (normally done with an excavator, often in combo with a bobcat)
Footings (garages, additions, small buildings, use mini-excavator)Additions (w full basements: use compact-ex and bobcat to load dirt into trucks/bins)Pools (use compact or mini-ex and bobcat to load trucks with fill for haulage away)Waterproofing (choose a mini-ex the right size for the job, not too big)- Trenching (mini-excavator)
Deep Services (like water/sewer hook-up - use a large compact/midi-excavator)Shallow Services (eg electrical lines, use mini-ex or bobcat with trencher)- Demolition (bobcat and/or mini-excavator and attachments)

Concrete pours (tough to get to - use our concrete delivery bucket on a bobcat)Load/move materials (use of pallet forks, or grapple on bobcat)- Property Maintenance (various special attachments proving for unique services)
Parking lot sweeping (street sweeper attmt. on a bobcat, pick up and dump dirt)Weed control (brush mower attachment cuts down everything - even trees to 3" dia!)Snow removal (bank back snow piles or load dump trucks, with bobcat)- Many other services: always adding new attachments, so check back regularly...
Post Holes (we do not supply or do the concrete work or set the posts - you do, we drill only)
- Explanation about post holes (Regular rate) - Most all the services we offer are based on a machine and operator by-the-hour billing basis, and for most tasks on the majority of sites this is a good, practical, cost-effective way of getting it done. One exception might be when you need to have a small number of post holes augered. Comparing the options - digging by hand, renting one of those nasty two-man gas-powered augers (dangerous, often ineffective), etc. - having us come out to you even at our normal rate is still not a bad idea, a good deal. Especially is this so if you have other machine work on site that can be done at the same time with the same machine - then you'll find that you're getting great value for your money. But, realistically, if you only have 3 or 6 or 8 holes to drill, which may only take half an hour to an hour to do, and the cost being around $500 (4 hour minimum, plus float fee and auger attachment rental), you may want to consider a cheaper option (which we propose next for you, read on...). By the way, those charges are all necessary (4 hr minimum, float and rental fees) as the cost of business in our industry is high, having to make a special trip out to you, tying up $100,000-worth of truck and equipment, and taking chunk of our schedule, etc. If you fit into any one of these 4 categories, stick with this hourly-based option: 1) you have 15-20 or more post holes to do, 2) you need holes 15" or greater in diameter, or any sized holes deeper than 4 feet, 3) you have other machine work to be done at that same time, or 4) you aren't flexible in terms of scheduling but need it done right away or at a specific day and time of your choosing. Otherwise, if none of those apply, and you'd like to save a bit of money, consider the next option:
- Special low rate for fence and deck post holes: $5 per hole! - We have a special pricing arrangement for augering fence and deck post holes, if the quantity is small, and if you can be patient and flexible as to when it gets done. Here's the price: We charge you a flat $200 set-up fee (that includes delivery, attachment rentals, etc.) and $5 per hole that is drilled. So, that means for 5 post holes you'll be charged only $225 (plus tax), which is less than half of our normal rate (and probably cheaper than renting a gas man-operated tool). The only "catch" is that we must do it when we are in the same general area servicing someone else, in order to be cost effective and pass the savings on to you. Now, rest assured, that in the busy season (April-Dec), and if you are well within our normal home territory (ie zones A or B), you will probably be able to be done within just a day or two, at worst a few days. Sometimes maybe even same day. But the point is that we cannot make a special trip for you and offer you this special price. When determine when we can fit you in, we will call ahead (usually the day before) and check make sure that the timing works for you too. And if not, we'll skip you that time and look for the next workable opportunity. That's the only real significant condition to this special program offer. The other points to bear in mind are that we will not spend unlimited time on drilling a given hole for you. We will spend up to 5 minutes per hole - which is ordinarily plenty of time for a 9" hole X 4' deep. If we run into difficulties on a given hole (rock, hard clay, roots, etc.), you'll have the option of having us stop where we got to (even if short by a foot or so), try to drill it in another place, or spend more time on that hole, which we'll have to charge for (at our regular rate, but remember that even 15 extra minutes will only cost you around $20). Other points: this rate applies only to residential sites, is only available for bit sizes 6, 9 or 12 inches diameter, and only to depths of 3 to 4 feet. And no other machine work will be done (with bucket or other attachments) on that visit. While we don't specifically cap the number of holes to a definite number, this special rate is really meant for holes fewer than 20; frankly more than that and you might be better off just going on our regular hourly rate.
Haulage (dirt/fill, concrete/asphalt, debris/junk removal)
- Bins / Tandem-axle dump trucks - The most cost-effective way to remove soil, fill, concrete, or other wastes from your site is by having a bin dropped off, or if you have a large volume of material (such as 10+ bins' worth), order in a dump truck or two. Our branch does not own bins or large dump trucks (although others do), but we certainly know many in the industry who are in that business and can recommend a few names to you (or check the yellow pages yourself under "haulage", "waste" or "rubbish removal", or search on-line for "bins"). As to our ordering these on your behalf, we normally don't. Here's why: you'll save money by ordering them directly yourself - why pay us a mark-up on their charges - avoid the middle-man costs.
- Small-single-axle dump trucks, dump trailers - We (the East York branch, others too, perhaps?) have some small-volume haulage options for you. We have several single axle "1-ton" dually-rear-wheel dump trucks and hydraulic dump trailers for your use. These each will hold in the 4 to 6 cubic yard range, or slightly more depending on the material (ie weight). Where these come in handy is if you have some fairly small load(s) to come out of your site, or if you are moving the material to another location on site or very nearby, or if you have space limitations and can't practically have a bin brought in or dropped, or if full size dump trucks won't fit (eg back alleyways), this option will save you money and be more convenient.
- Junk removal - This branch also offers junk removal as an additional, unique service. Please contact us for more information and rates.

- BOD East York and Franchisor's disclaimer: Note: for the record, although this rental-only option appears on Bobcat On Demand Of East York's branch profile page, and on the Franchisor's website, let it be known that you are not renting from BOD Of East York, nor the Franchisor. The machines for rent are not owned by us, and neither BOD Of East York nor Franchisor are responsible/liable in any way from the consequences of your renting and using the machine. Both ownership of the rental machinery and your rental contract and payment for services is with another separately incorporated company (East York Rentals), which has its own independent ownership. We are only indirectly affiliated with this firm via this common marketing conduit and overlapping services (ie delivery) and are not in any way legally connected to it.
- You will certify upon delivery of machine that only duly trained operators will be permitted access to the machine and allowed to operate it, and will do so in accordance with all industry standards and labour and other applicable laws. You will also acknowledge that all liability rests entirely with you the renter.
This map is for general information only and zones are approximate, not to exact scale;
dispatch will provide you your exact float fee when you call in with your actual jobsite address.
*Further regarding float fees (top):
Zones A & B are this branch's home territory.
Zones C & D are considered overlap areas. These are actually within the home territory of other neighbouring branches, but commonly when one branch is overbooked or does not have a particular piece of equipment in stock or available for a given customer, a closely neighbouring branch will assist if able (this is one of the main benefits that Bobcat On Demand has to offer)
Zone E is really outside of the normal operating territory of the branch, and that is why you need to call in to get a specific quote for the float charge to your jobsite when beyond the D zone.
Daily Travel Fee: Pertains to all zones outside the branch's home territory: Zones C, D and E: In the event that a jobsite is in this area and the assignment goes beyond the first day (which had a float fee charged, when the machinery was brought in), a daily travel fee will apply to day 2 and any subsequent days to cover the cost of servicing this distant jobsite. The travel fee is half of the float charge, and applies each day.

Our branch stocks over 2 dozen attachments: augers (bit sizes 6-36"), concrete breakers, grapple buckets, brush mowers, street sweepers, snow removal attachments, dozer blades, tracks, solid demolition tires, trenchers, backhoes, clamps, frost rippers and more...

Account Customers
We make provision for large builders/general contractors who cannot practically be able to pay COD on site; we do this by opening a credit account for them. This account is expressly for the purpose of facilitating ease of payment for the customer. It is not meant to assist in helping with cash flow or financing a project. We strictly require payment within 30 days of invoice date (same as date of service).
The opening of accounts is handled by the franchisor on behalf of all franchise-branches. So once your account is set up, you can use it regardless of which branch is actually serving you. (Individual branches are not obligated, however, to opt in to accept account customers; this is an internal issue for us and will not affect you - we'll assign you to a branch that does.)
We'd be happy to open an account for you if you fit the above criteria. Please be advised that it takes about 1 week for approval process. Please request a credit application here.

To Contact this branch:
Customers: Please direct all calls to dispatch for inquiries about this branch - scheduling and availability, equipment, etc. If you have a direct number to a particular branch or operator, please avoid using it as the operators are busy running noisy machines and will not be able to hear your call or talk.
