Bobcat’s new 500 Series skid steer and compact track loaders will take centre stage at Bauma Africa, the exhibition being held for the first time in South Africa in September.
Bobcat has detailed the range of machines it will display, through local distributor Bobcat Equipment South Africa. Compact excavator, telescopic handler and attachment products will also be on show.
Being shown alongside models from the company’s larger 800 Series of compact loaders, the new 500 platform models continue the pattern set by Bobcat in updating its skid steer range, with larger machines that boast improvements in comfort, visibility, cab room, controllability and cab pressurisation.
Overall performance and cycle times are up by around 16% on the previous models.
Bobcat will have an indoor and outdoor stand at the show, and other keys models include a selection from its range of four rotary telehandlers, the TR38160, TR45190, TR50210 and TR40250 models, providing lifting capacities from 3.8 to 5.0 tonne and maximum lifting heights of 15.7, 18.7, 20.5 and 24.5 metres, respectively.
