WITH A COMPREHENSIVE DISPLAY
of the latest Bobcat compact loader, compact
excavator, telescopic handler and attachment products, Bobcat Equipment is set to wow
visitors at bauma Africa.
Centre stage will be the new Bobcat 500 platform of compact loaders, launched earlier this
year. The new 500 platform includes some of the company’s most popular models and is
intended to cement the company’s leadership in the skid-steer and compact tracked loader
market, worldwide.
Higher performance
Shown alongside models from the company’s larger 800 Series of compact loaders, the
new 500 platform models continue the pattern set by the larger machines, with significant
advances in comfort, visibility, cab room, controllability and cab pressurisation. With overall
performance and cycle times increased by around 16% on the previous models, the new 500
platform loaders take efficiency and productivity to new, higher levels.
The Bobcat range of telescopic handlers will be a prominent feature and the company offers
a range of four rotary telehandlers: the TR38160; TR45190; TR50210 and TR40250 models,
providing lifting capacities from 3.8 to 5-tons and maximum lifting heights of 15.7, 18.7, 20.5
and 24.5m, respectively.
Equally adept for rough terrain applications in the building, civil engineering and industrial
markets, the Bobcat rotary telehandler models complement the existing Bobcat range of 13
rigid frame telehandlers, with lift capacities from 2.2 to 4-ton and lift heights from 5.2 to
17.4m.
Part of the state-of-the-art E-generation of Bobcat compact excavators, the E35 model, offers
advantages common to the E-Series: high reliability; exceptional operator comfort; smooth
and precise workgroup operation and superior hydraulic performance. The E35 excavator
offers a digging depth of 3117mm, reach at ground level of 5230mm and a dump height of
3437mm.
This 3.5-ton, zero tail swing model, combines maximum productivity with the ability to carry
out jobs with precision and fingertip control. The load sense piston pump and the closed
centre valve enable exceptionally fine metering of hydraulic flow for smooth, precise control
of machine functions, while reducing hydraulic noise. The boom and dipper arm cylinders are
cushioned to provide a smooth, end-of stroke operation.
Completing the Bobcat stand displays are examples from the company’s huge range of
attachments for Bobcat compact loaders, excavators and telehandlers, including the forestry
cutter soil conditioner and auger attachments. Complementing Bobcat attachments for
construction and rental markets, these are part of a growing family of attachments, covering
a wide range of applications in the landscaping, forestry, recycling, horticultural and grounds
maintenance industries.
