The enclosed loader cab offers climate control – with heating and air conditioning available on select models – to keep operators comfortable even in extreme weather conditions, from scorching summers to freezing winters. This level of comfort can increase operator productivity and extend your working season. 

Noise reduction features that minimize external noise and vibration are essential in keeping operator stress and fatigue to a minimum. Bobcat loaders are equipped with advanced sound-dampening features to create a quieter work environment. 

Automatic ride control helps reduce vibrations while also dampening the loader’s arms when carrying material over rough terrain. This helps absorb the vibrations and reduce material spillage, allowing you to travel faster across uneven surfaces.

Compact loaders are designed to be comfortable and accessible. Bobcat’s large swing-open doors and lowered door thresholds offer ample headroom for exit and entry, making it easy to get in and out. Inside, there is plenty of headroom when seated. Additionally, the swing-open door doesn’t take up cab space and can be removed without tools. 

Cup holders keep your drinks secure and easily accessible while operating the loader, allowing for hands-free convenience during work. Multiple storage locations are located throughout the cab to store assorted work tools, equipment or personal items.

A one-piece sealed and pressurized cab keeps dust and debris from entering the cab during operation. It also maintains the cab temperature and isolates you from engine and hydraulic noises.

Adjustable air-ride seats are designed for maximum comfort and support. They adjust to your weight and smooth out bumpy rides, significantly reducing operator fatigue during long workdays.

Single-direction bucket positioning allows you to keep an attachment level or at a designated angle when raising lift arms. This means the operator can focus on the task without having to manually control the attachment angle. This function can significantly speed up cycle times for repetitive tasks like loading trucks or stockpiling materials – all with a reduced risk of spillage.

Dual-direction bucket positioning allows you to keep an attachment level or at a designated angle when raising or lowering lift arms. This means the operator can focus on the task without having to manually control the angle. This function can significantly speed up cycle times for repetitive tasks like loading trucks or stockpiling materials – all with a reduced risk of spillage. 

This feature provides loaders with top travel speed, helping reduce travel time across jobsites and increasing overall efficiency.

Auto idle automatically engages when machine functions aren’t being used and “idle” will remain in place until the operator initiates work again. This helps save fuel and reduce noise.

The latest Bobcat compact loaders feature a redesigned in-line engine with an innovative fuel system that maximizes efficiency and performance while maintaining a compact profile. There is no diesel particulate filter (non-DPF) within the engine, ultimately simplifying maintenance with fewer parts and eliminating regeneration downtime.

The 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriage offers unprecedented levels of durability, reduced maintenance requirements and faster track cleanout. It also reduces noise and vibration while you’re working, a difference you’ll feel through the entire machine so you can stay in the cab longer and get more work done. Experience elevated levels of performance and comfort with this option. You’ll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Bobcat cabs offer excellent visibility on a structural level with optional add-on lighting features to further enhance visibility and extend worktime. Operators can opt for rotating beacons or side lighting kits with standard or premium LED options. Offering bright illumination, the LED lights enhance visibility and minimize eye-strain when working in low-light conditions. They are more energy-efficient than traditional lights, minimizing the effect on the compact loader’s electrical system.

Machine IQ is a telematics solution that lets you monitor your compact loader’s health, security and location from your smartphone or desktop. As essential as work boots, Machine IQ delivers proactive fault code and maintenance alerts to reduce downtime, comprehensive utilization reports to enhance efficiency, and robust security features like remote engine disable/enable to protect against theft.
