Superior Lift Arms
With two lift path options, Bobcat skid-steer loaders have you covered. Vertical lift path machines provide greater reach at full lift height, while radius lift path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height. The durable, patented single-plane design reduces side-to-side lift arm movement and minimizes load on the pins.
Increased Lifting Capabilities
