What makes Bobcat Skid Steer Loaders Unique?
History of Loader Innovation
Bobcat is the originator of the most versatile piece of construction and maintenance equipment. Bobcat introduced its first
self-propelled compact loader nearly 50 years ago. The three-wheeled machine featured two drive wheels and a rear caster wheel,
with lift arms and a simple utility fork attachment up front. This quick, agile loader replaced a pitchfork and a strong
back to save hours of hard labor in areas too small for conventional machines. That was soon followed by development of the
world's first four-wheel-drive skid steer loader - a
revolutionary concept in machines that literally changed the way the world
works.
Most Models to Choose From
What does the most models of skid steer loaders available in the industry mean to you? Coupled with the most
options and attachments
in the industry means you can find the right sized loader with the right features at the right price to meet your specific needs.
Choose a compact, standard wheelbase machine for maximum maneuverability and a radius lift path for great all around performance.
Or select a smooth-riding long wheelbase model, with either a radius lift path or a long-reaching vertical lift path for optimal
loading efficiency.
More Standard Features
All K-Series Bobcat loaders are equipped with such standard equipment as an engine/hydraulic systems shutdown, deluxe cab, dual function
(maximum flow or variable flow) front auxiliary hydraulics and front and rear working lights. And don't forget serviceability. It's
unsurpassed.
More Durability
Bobcat loaders are built for long, dependable operation in the most demanding jobsite environments. Drive chains never need adjustment
and axle bearings never need greasing. Engine and hydraulic system shutdown automatically protects the machine from possible catastrophic
failure.
K-Series Chaincase
The best chaincase just got better. The new drive chains are the largest in the industry. The Bobcat K-Series chaincase matches the machine
weight, horsepower and performance demands of the toughest applications.
- Virtually maintenance free.
- Protected axle seals never need greasing.
- Largest Chain Size - #120 high strength oval chain (HSOC).
- Axle tubes are welded to the frame so the chains never need adjustment.
Keel Belly Pan
The Bobcat K-Series chaincase also features a keel-shaped belly pan. The lowest point of the belly pan is the center of the machine,
with ground clearance increasing closer to the wheels. The keel-shape design allows the loader to pass over most obstructions,
minimizing chances of getting hung up. In particular, the keel-shape design performs better in muddy and sandy conditions than
other makes with flat bottoms.
More Efficient Operation
Bobcat loaders are designed as a balanced system to make the most of your horsepower and your money. That includes balancing such factors
as wheelbase, tread width and weight distribution. As a result, Bobcat loaders tend to weight less and require less horsepower to achieve
top performance. Other money-saving features include belt drive, instead of direct drive, and a dual-path cooling system, both of which
reduce operating costs and extend engine life.
