Articulated wheeled loaders.

The UK launch of the new range of Bobcat compact articulated wheeled loaders will take place at SED 2006.

The new loaders are intended for a wide range of applications in construction, landscaping and rental, as well as general material-handling and road repair work.

By combining the three new articulated loaders with 15 skid-steer models, five compact tracked loader models, a mini-tracked loader, and an all-wheel steer loader, Bobcat now offers the industry's broadest range of compact loaders.

Excavators.

The new 319 1.3 tonne mini-excavator will be making its first appearance at SED.

The only machine in the 1.2 - 1.5 tonne class to offer as standard an expandable undercarriage, the 319 has a weight of 1271 kg with canopy and 1400 kg with enclosed cab, allowing it to be transported easily on a light trailer towed by a small truck, van or 4x4 vehicle.

Other Bobcat excavator models that can be seen at SED include both the conventional drive and Fast Track versions of the 430 zero tail swing excavator and the 7.5 tonne 442 excavator.

Skid-steers and compact tracked loaders.

Bobcat skid-steers and compact tracked loaders continue to set the pace and the company will be showing new improved versions of both the skid-steers and compact tracked loaders at SED 2006.

All of the loaders now feature more efficient cooling thanks to the new hydraulically-driven, infinitely variable speed fan, called 'SmartFAN', that senses the temperature of the machine and turns only as fast as it has to, to meet cooling requirements.

Among the changes are those in the Bobcat medium frame skid-steers and compact tracked loaders which have been upgraded with the hydraulic system previously used only on the large frame models.

This involves the addition of a dedicated charge pump to boost overall hydraulic performance.

Telehandlers.

An enhanced range of telehandlers will be an important part of the stand display with models from across the range with maximum lifting capacities from 2.5 to 4.0 tonne and maximum lifting heights from 5.6 to 17.43 m.

The new T2556, T3571, T35120SL and T40170 models being shown will incorporate the many enhancements that have been made over the last six months in the existing range of telehandlers, effectively making the new 11-model range a new generation of machines.

Utility vehicles.

Designed for a wide variety of load and carry work, the new Bobcat 2200D is a multi-purpose utility vehicle which seats two and complements Bobcat's innovative Toolcat Utility Work Machine.

The unique 4x4 Intellitrak drive system allows the Bobcat 2200D to haul cargoes comfortably, climb grades with ease and tackle rough terrain.

Intellitrak automatically engages 4-wheel drive by transferring power to the wheels where it is most needed as driving conditions demand.

Attachments.

Among the host of Bobcat attachments on show will be the new Bobcat range of heavy duty flail cutter attachments.

The range comprises three models - the FC155, FC175 and FC200 - providing cutting widths of 1.55 m, 1.75 and 2 m, respectively.

The flail cutter attachments can be used for a wide variety of applications, from clearing deep scrub to create fire breaks and access areas for overhead powerlines in woods and forests to clearance work at road sides, on new building developments and in pipeline and utility projects.
