UW56 Features & Benefits

Four-Wheel Independent Suspension
Work comfortably - even when you work hard - with four-wheel independent suspension. Composed of A-frames, suspension coils, shocks and suspension stops, each wheel travels up and down independently, meaning every wheel is isolated from the frame. Add the long wheelbase design, which creates maximum tire-to-ground contact, and you’ll begin to see how Toolcat™ utility work machines provide top-notch comfort.
The suspension system maximizes traction by maintaining tire-to-ground contact while isolating the machine from changes in terrain, resulting in less impact to the frame, cab and attachments. This reduces bounce, spillage and vibration when carrying materials.
Specifically designed suspension stops provide support at maximum lift or payload capacity. When lifting a heavy load in the front or carrying a heavy load in the hydraulic dump cargo box on the UW56, the rubber stops are engaged to provide needed support for the job at hand. On the Toolcat UW53, the suspension stops are also engaged when you raise rear implements attached to the optional 3-point hitch.
All-Wheel Steer
Better maneuverability makes getting work done easier. That’s why the Toolcat™ utility work machine, with all-wheel steer, is the picture of productivity. With a turning radius of 11.2 feet, the Toolcat utility work machine can do more in tight spaces
The steering angle allows the outside wheels to rotate faster than the inside wheels for fast, effortless turns around trees, through tight corners, on sensitive ground and when maneuvering in and out of tiny workspaces like in barns or between buildings. And with its hydraulic power steering, you’ll have nearly effortless control.
Plus, the rear wheels skid through tight turns without damaging lawns or leaving marks on driveways. Effortlessly operate on hard or soft surfaces – and everything in between. On hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete, all-wheel steer minimizes tire wear. Similarly, when you work on soft, manicured surfaces like grass or turf, you’ll minimize ground disturbance. Each wheel of the Toolcat UW56 and UW53 moves separately through the turning arc and rolls smoothly through the turn. That means you won't have to spend time re-installing sod or planting grass after the job is done.
If your work doesn’t require all-wheel steer, you can operate in front-wheel steer. Make the change from one steering mode to the other without leaving the operator's seat. Simply align the front and rear wheels using the AWS indicator lights, press the switch and away you go. It's the best of both worlds.
Hydrostatic Four-Wheel Drive
Preparing for success means being ready for anything. That’s why the exclusive hydrostatic four-wheel drive system in Toolcat utility work machines delivers as much traction and torque as possible. With it, you can power through snow or up an incline, while minimizing damage on turf.
Variable Flow Hydraulics
When auxiliary hydraulics are engaged, variable flow allows for precise control of hydraulic attachments such as Bobcat® grapples. It allows you to manage the auxiliary oil flow to open and close the grapple as slowly or quickly as you want.
Quick Couplers
Trapped line pressure can make attachment changes anything but easy. Toolcat™ utility work machines feature quick couplers to release trapped pressure. When you push the coupler inward, hydraulic oil is released through a return line back into the machine. The result is a clean, quick attachment change every time.
Hydraulic Dump Cargo Box
Leave your shovel in the shed. With the hydraulic dump cargo box, you can quickly unload brush and debris without leaving the cab of your Toolcat™ UW56. Just pull a single lever to empty the load.
Horsepower Management
When mowing heavy brush, driving through sand, digging, tilling or working on a steep incline, horsepower management automatically increases and decreases pressure in the hydrostatic transmission to keep your machine at top performance. Easily turn it off for greater manual control.
Work Mode
Set the responsiveness of your travel pedal and get precise control of your machine’s torque and speed without changing your tractive effort. Use work mode for tight movements around structures, or when trenching, tilling or grading next to a building or fence. With precise control, you can easily perform finite or creeping movements. It also makes quick and easy work of lining up attachments and implements for fast hookup.
Lift Arm Float
Uneven ground? No worries. Enable float while moving forward for smooth performance with a seeder, snow blower and mower. Float in reverse for finish grading with a bucket or when you want to avoid tire marks on a seedbed. Engage it by pushing the joystick forward.
Dual Direction Detent
Forget about holding down a switch while using bidirectional attachments like sweepers and tillers. Dual direction detent delivers continuous hydraulic flow to the attachment in either direction.
5-Inch Display
The 5-inch display screen provides more convenient touch points and supports enhanced diagnostics and serviceability. It’s also compatible with an optional rearview camera.
Towing
Easily pull light-duty trailers through difficult terrain with an industry-leading towing rating of 2,500 lbs. Just hook up to the standard 2-inch hitch receiver and go. Haul a trailer with firewood, grass clippings or leaves, landscaping materials, trailered watercraft and much more. The weight of the trailer load is distributed directly to the tires without compressing the suspension, which means you can tow a large load without compromising your ride quality.
Comfort

Comfortable Cab
There’s a direct correlation between comfort and productivity. With this understanding, it’s easy to see why Toolcat™ utility work machines were designed with your comfort in mind.
The comfort is in the details throughout the redesigned cab with improved ergonomics and additional features including a USB port for charging mobile devices, 12-volt power outlet, a larger storage tray and deeper cup holders for tall beverages.
Operators appreciate the large door openings for easy entry, tilt steering, operator-friendly controls, adjustable vents and an adjustable driver’s seat. Optional features include an improved heat and air conditioning system, a radio system, driver’s suspension seat and floorboard riser kit.
When you start your work you’ll notice the large windows, which offer a clear view of your attachments. The large rear window helps you easily see your rear implements and work area. Inside, the controls are within easy reach, and most importantly, easy to operate.
In the Toolcat cab, you can stay comfortable through long hot days or frigid cold nights on the job.
Operator-Friendly Controls
Don’t settle for a difficult-to-use machine. The controls in the Toolcat™ utility work machines are intelligently placed and ergonomically designed.
Convenient, intuitive and ergonomic controls on the joystick allow you to operate attachments without having to look away from your work. The addition of the steering knob allows operators to keep one hand on the wheel to navigate tight turns and keep the other hand on the joystick.
- Shuttle shift makes changing travel directions a simple task: just move the shifter forward or reverse.
- Shift between high and low range on the fly, making quicker work of time-consuming jobs.
- Use cruise control to set your travel speed and go. It makes long jobs more comfortable, so you'll feel less fatigue.
From the responsive joystick controls for attachments to simple switches and levers for secondary functions such as lights and auxiliary hydraulics, every control is thoughtfully designed for easy operation. Everything you need to operate the utility work machine is clearly laid out, within easy reach, and most importantly, simple to use.
Visibility
With optimum attachment visibility, you’ll see more of your work. Toolcat™ utility work machines give you precise command on every job thanks to all-around visibility. Plus, a sloped rear cover and huge rear window on the UW53 give you a clear view of rear-mounted implements and the work area behind you.
LED Work Lights
Stay productive at night or in low visibility conditions with four standard LED front work lights. An optional Deluxe Road Package comes with two LED headlights, two LED rear work lights, tail lights, turn signals, flashers a rearview mirror, side mirrors, horn and a back-up alarm.
