The new Stage V, M-Series, Bobcat loaders are said to provide operators with increased performance, enhanced comfort and optimised maintenance requirements to maximise job site efficiency.
Mike Vought, Senior Director and Product Management, commented: “M-series loaders are some of the best-selling models for Bobcat in Europe, and the new Stage V machines build on the legacy set by their predecessors. Customers will benefit from the compact size coupled with the high torque and performance of the new engines. The Stage V engines also allow us to add the popular air conditioning and high flow hydraulics options to the 500 series models, further increasing operator comfort and performance.”
The small dimensions of the new S450, S510 and S530 skid-steer loaders offer a compact size and low weight, so they can work/manoeuvre easily in tight spaces and can be easily transported. The new Bobcat engine is also said to provide 37% more torque and fast recovery from overload compared to the previous machines, which is said to result in increased comfort for the operator, as they can work with the same power at lower RPM, at lower noise levels and with lower fuel consumption for the same jobs. In addition, with an engine equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) as standard, users can work in emission-regulated zones such as city and town centres.
