Bobcat has made its line-up of ground maintenance equipment (GME) available to customers across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Announcing the news at Bauma 2022, the company said the GME range includes the recently launched MT100 mini track loader, and L23 and L28 small articulated loaders that entered the market last year. These machines remove the need for manual labour, replacing the use of wheelbarrows, shovels and hand tools across multiple ground maintenance applications. The models are also versatile tool carriers, with a broad range of compatible attachments that enable contractors to maximise productivity and safety when undertaking ground maintenance tasks.
Gul Nalcaci, Senior Product Manager for the company’s GME range said, “Bobcat aims to rank within the top-three GME manufacturers in Europe. To achieve this ambitious goal, we are rolling out our ground maintenance machinery across the region. Bobcat’s EMEA offering will include compact tractors, zero-turn mowers and turf equipment, which is supplemented by the company’s existing mini track and small articulated loaders.”
In March 2022, Bobcat launched new machines to complete its loader range for the Middle East and, in August 2022, Bobcat delivered a new telehandler for work at a Tata Steel site.
Following the acquisition of Bob-Cat Mowers, Bobcat is introducing a large, industry-leading family of rugged, mowers to the entire EMEA region. Models will include ride-on, stand-on and commercial walk-behind mowers, all of which are engineered to deliver a superior quality cut in less time. Aimed at both lawn-care professionals and residential users, Bobcat mowers are equipped with cutting decks available in a variety of sizes, the firm stated.
“All of our ground maintenance machines are tough and versatile, delivering excellent productivity, superior comfort and maximum uptime. With an extensive catalogue of proven attachments, Bobcat provides solutions to meet every demand in the ground maintenance sector. What’s more, GME customers will benefit from Bobcat’s already-established service and logistics network, which covers every corner of the EMEA region,” Nalcaci added.
In mid-August 2022, Construction Machinery Middle East’s Mark Dowdall traveled to Bobcat’s EMEA headquarters and spoke exclusively to CEO Scott Park about the growth of its compact equipment business, seeing the value of technology and what true innovation really means.
