Put Your Work on Solid Footing

Since inventing the world’s first true compact loader in 1958, Bobcat has constantly improved on its original concept: a tough, agile and versatile compact machine that can tackle an incredible number of jobs. Today, the innovation continues.

Solid-mounted undercarriage

The solid-mounted Bobcat undercarriage features a small number of moving parts to reduce required maintenance and stabilize both the loader and work group. It delivers the best possible grading performance.

Skid-steer loaders: quick-turning, compact maneuverability

Compact, nimble and able to pivot 360 degrees, Bobcat skid-steer loaders can easily maneuver in close quarters and bring responsive, well-balanced turns to the jobsite. R-Series skid-steer loaders have a longer wheelbase for ideal performance in a compact machine profile.

Maintenance-free chaincase

Instead of spending time in the shop, spend time on the job with Bobcat skid-steer loaders. Many brands will tout the ability to adjust their loaders’ drive chains. These periodic adjustments cost you in time, productivity and money. Bobcat has offered a better way for years in its skid-steer loaders: no adjustments.

Cooling

As operators trust compact equipment to run longer and do bigger, more difficult jobs, better cooling is essential. The R-Series cooling system is designed for optimal operation and maximum uptime.

Cab Comfort

Few tools are more useful than a Bobcat loader, and when you trust your machine with more work, you spend more hours in the cab. Today’s operators require more comfort, and R-Series loaders deliver an unmatched cab experience that keeps productivity high.

Versatile Attachments

Even if you just want to dig today, tomorrow’s job could demand more from your machine. Bobcat loaders have your business expansion built right in. Whether it’s breaking concrete, breaking down buildings or bringing computer-generated designs to life with a 3D grade control system, Bobcat attachments help you take on new jobs and get more use from your machine.

Multi-carrier versatility

You can share some attachments between Bobcat excavators, telehandlers, compact track loaders and Toolcat utility work machines. This gives you the most versatility for your dollar and improved profitability.

Bobcat-built to bobcat standards

Bobcat is the only major compact equipment manufacturer that also manufactures a majority of its own attachments. This means they are engineered to be integrated with the electronics, hydraulics and geometry of your Bobcat machines.

Keep it working and keep working.

R-Series machines make it easy to perform regular maintenance – so you can protect your productivity from unplanned downtime. And whenever you do require service, components are easy to find and reach, enabling you to quickly get back to work.

One-piece, tip-up cab

When it’s time for maintenance or repairs, the entire R-Series cab lifts out of the way to provide improved service access – with hardware on the cab exterior for easy removal.

Machine Protection

Bobcat loaders monitor engine and hydraulic functions. If conditions risk damage to the engine or hydraulic components, the system will alert the operator and, if necessary, de-rate engine power. It still allows the operator to complete the job at hand or move the loader to an area for diagnosis.

Owner Portal

The Bobcat Owner Portal is your key to access and interact with machine data to better utilize your machine while making maintenance and asset management more efficient.

Bobcat MaxControl Remote Operation

Use your iPhone to control your machine remotely. Bobcat MaxControl remote operation is an iOS app that makes operating your machines easier and more convenient than ever before. It acts like an extra set of hands when help is limited. Two-person jobs can now be handled by one worker, and you can say goodbye to unnecessary trips in and out of the cab.

Built for You

Everything we put into Bobcat equipment is designed to make more of whatever you bring to the job. Whether it’s strength, versatility, speed or agility, it’s built around you.

Protected battery with remote jumpstart

In R-Series loaders, the battery is located under the cab. Lift the one-piece cab away for easy access. This service location protects the condition of your battery and provides more room for component access in the engine compartment. A remote terminal, located in the engine compartment, makes it easy to jumpstart the loader if needed.

Larger, reversible fan

The large fan achieves more cooling at a slower rotation. This consumes less power and reduces noise in the cab and around the machine. A reversible fan option purges debris buildup from the rear screen, reducing the need for manual cleaning. An auto mode reverses airflow automatically, and operator-controlled purge mode gives you the ability to reverse the fan at any time.

One-piece sealed and pressurized cab

The cab design provides a near-seamless interior for a new level of operator comfort. The roomier design offers a sealed and pressurized environment that minimizes dust and dirt in the cab, isolates the operator from engine and hydraulic noise, and enhances the efficiency of heating and air conditioning.

In front

Comfortably see your work from the seat through a single curved pane of glass. Keep working at night or in darker environments with powerful LED lighting. Hoses and fittings have been repositioned on the tilt cylinders to further enhance your visibility. The cab-forward design places the operator area closer to the attachment, giving you a better vantage point to see your work.

Premium led lights

Upgrade to optional premium LED lights that wrap around the cab’s upper corners. This gives you a wider beam to illuminate more of the jobsite.

Side visibility

By repositioning the stabilizer linkage to the rear of the machine, vertical lift R-Series loaders maximize side visibility, allowing the best possible view to the wheels or tracks.

Up top

A top window with a large viewing area gives you an unbeatable view when raising a load above the cab.

Control options

Bobcat offers operators intuitive, precise and adaptable control options to maximize your productivity and put you in total control of the task. Selectable Joystick Control, or SJC, offers low-effort hand control of all machine work group functions. ISO or H patterns can be easily activated with the push of a button inside the cab.

Traditional hand and foot controls

This tried and true system is still a popular style of control today. A lever controls the drive on each side independently, while your feet control the lift arms and bucket. The farther you stroke the lever, the faster you go. The shorter the stroke, the more torque that is delivered to the wheels or tracks, allowing maximum power for pushing into a pile. Low-effort, low-fatigue foot pedals offer comfort for long days and precise, responsive control. The flat floor gives your feet more freedom to move for comfortable positioning and less fatigue from long hours in the cab.

Radio Remote Control

Loaders equipped with Selectable Joystick Control can be operated by a remote-control system, without having to have an operator in the cab. This can be beneficial to people operating in hot or dusty environments or when you would rather work outside the machine. The remote control is completely portable. If you have multiple machines, you can quickly remove the remote from one machine and attach it to another in minutes. Sealed and protected electronics can withstand the harshest environments.

Premium Power Performance

Get smoother, faster control – along with maximum power where and when you need it most. Premium Power Performance for the high- and super-flow-equipped S86 and T86 features a Bobcat-exclusive electronic displacement control pump. It efficiently provides more power when it’s needed during multitasking operations.

Bobcat tough

LARGER RADIATOR AND OIL COOLER Increases cooling ability in most operating conditions.PROTECTIVE STEEL TAILGATE Heavy-duty steel louvers allow the airflow needed to significantly reduce temperatures. A steel screen inside the tailgate adds a second layer of protection.LARGER AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC HOSES Auxiliary hydraulic hoses and tubelines on select high-flow models have increased in size from ¾-inch to 1-inch diameter. Hydraulic oil can flow with less restriction, leading to cooler operating temperatures.

Front door seal

A specially designed front door seal increases cab pressurization to keep dust out and keep clean heated or air-conditioned air inside.

Better machine integration

Some attachments that perform best with high-flow hydraulics will automatically engage high flow, ensuring maximum performance and great results at the end of the job. Smart hydraulics allows Bobcat machines to identify the attachment and lock out non-required functions (like high flow and super flow) to limit damage to attachment and machine.

Auxiliary coupler block

The pressure-release quick couplers are mounted into the front of the lift arm for convenient access. A steel guard extends beyond the coupler block to protect it and hydraulic hoses from damage. The integrated, five-coupler auxiliary manifold available for the T86 and S86 supports three hydraulic flow options for industry-leading attachment versatility. The manifold, required for optimum super-flow performance, includes larger couplers that reduce heat and send more hydraulic power to super-flow attachments.

Fingertip controls

Fingertip controls make your attachment operation comfortable and controllable, and allow attachment adjustments while driving. The detent feature allows your attachment flow to be engaged continuously without needing to hold the switch. Flow can be locked in both directions. It’s handy for attachments like sweepers, soil conditioners and tillers that can be operated in either direction. Variable/max. flow allows variable, or “featherable,” flow to be used for grapples and combination buckets to slowly move the cylinders, or choose a maximum flow rate to quickly shake the dirt from an auger bit.

Super-flow hydraulics

Available in the T86 and S86 loaders, super-flow hydraulics provide even more performance for the most demanding attachment applications. Tackle pavement milling, snowblowing, tree clearing, heavy brushwork and more with attachments designed specifically for super-flow hydraulics.

Compact Track Loaders

Compact track loaders are heavier to deliver maximum pushing power. That weight is also spread out over a wider area to decrease ground disturbance and allow lifting of larger loads.

Track Options

Bobcat offers seven different tread patterns to accommodate various applications and optimize your compact track loader’s performance for the jobs you do.

5-link Torsion Suspension Undercarriage

Designed for the best combination of comfort and work performance, this patented suspension uses torsion axles to dampen vibration and provide a smoother ride that you can feel. The triple-flange rear idler on the T86 solidly holds and guides the track belt to minimize de-tracking. A fifth link located on the rear axle provides additional ride comfort when grading or lifting.

Ease of Cleanout

A horizontally mounted grease track tension cylinder opens up more room between the carriage and track for easier cleanout. The undercarriage is sloped on both sides to shed material, such as sand, dirt, mud and debris. Additionally, raised cutouts between the rollers allow for easier cleaning.

Tire Options

Bobcat has an extensive offering of tire styles and tread patterns. Choosing the best tire is important for machine traction, flotation, wear and overall performance.

Rear Camera

The S86 and T86 include a standard-equipped rear camera. All other R-Series loaders come rear camera ready. When installed, rear cameras integrate seamlessly into R-Series displays. There’s no need to have another screen taking up room in the cab. You can display the rear view automatically (when you travel in reverse), on-demand or continuously.

Electronic Protection

Bobcat electronics meet or exceed IP67 requirements for sealing, moisture, shock and vibration. Work in tough, humid conditions with less worry about corrosion, or power wash your loader without wondering if it will start when you are finished.

Increased Lifting Capabilities

R-Series loaders not only look tougher, they are tougher. Lift arms feature cast-steel sections for increased material strength and rigidity. They also have a slimmer profile in the right areas to enhance visibility. Newly optimized work group geometry improves lift capacity throughout your loader’s range of motion. Increased lift height enables easy dumping into high-sided trucks and hoppers.

Cast-steel lift-arm sections

R-Series loaders not only look tougher, they are tougher. Bobcat lift arms feature cast-steel construction in specific areas for increased material strength and rigidity. Cast steel allows more material where it’s needed, which provides greater strength. Because cast steel provides more strength with a slimmer profile arm, it also enhances visibility to the bucket corners.

Lift-arm Design

R-Series loaders have an innovative new lift-arm design with strong cast-steel sections, plus newly optimized linkages and work group geometry. As always with Bobcat loaders, this durable, patented lift-arm design gives you a choice of lift path to help you meet the unique demands of your job.

Vertical lift path

A vertical lift path provides higher lift capacity and more reach at full lift height than radius lift path, keeping the load closer to the machine while you raise the loader arms. Because you achieve maximum reach at full lift height, it’s easier to clear high-sided truck boxes and hoppers. It’s also better for placing heavy pallets of block or sod.

Radius lift path

A radius lift path provides maximum reach at truck bed height. Arm movement forms an arc. More than 80% of that arc delivers better reach at truck bed height. A radius lift path excels in jobs at mid-range heights, like dumping over a wall, backfilling or unloading flatbed trucks.
