THE POWER OF TOMORROW HAS NO LIMITS.
We’re focused on improving efficiency and productivity for our customers.
Advanced Technology Features
Our customers are always looking for better ways to improve efficiency and productivity. As the industry leader, Bobcat® is constantly innovating to enhance our products with advanced technology. We’re focused on developing more intelligent, digital solutions that generate and utilize actionable data to improve productivity and provide more automation to address operator needs and jobsite situations. Many of these technologies are available today from Bobcat. But, we’re always working on the next solution to empower operators to do more.
Bobcat MaxControl
With Bobcat MaxControl, you can take your machine to the next level of operation with a collection of new technologies. Operate your machine from outside the cab. Set up geofences around objects on the jobsite you want to avoid during operation. Plot points on a digital worksite as a path for your machine to follow during semi-autonomous operation. And so much more is in the works. Watch for more details about future capabilities using Bobcat MaxControl technology.
Productivity-Enhancing Technologies
Bobcat has developed numerous technologies that change the machine’s performance to make it faster, stronger and more capable for a variety of applications.
Bobcat Features On Demand
Bobcat Features On Demand technology gives equipment owners the flexibility to enable additional features to properly equip compact loaders as needs change – after purchase. This technology gives owners the freedom to customize a machine to the exact features needed at any time.
Depth Check System
The Bobcat depth check system accurately measures depth and grade without the operator needing to exit the compact excavator. The system helps prevent under-digging and over-digging, to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The system detects the exact position of the bucket's teeth, allowing operators to set a desired digging depth and work against that benchmark. Audible alerts indicate whether the operator is approaching the target, at the target or beyond the target.
Precision Grading Technologies
Bobcat automatic grading solutions deliver more accurate grading results with less time and less labor – and can save on expensive finishes such as concrete. Laser-guided systems and sonic/slope systems offer accuracies better than +/- ¼”. The 3D-ready system uses GPS technology or UTS to accurately and efficiently complete complex designs with accuracy of 3 – 5 mm.
Selectable Joystick Control Modes
With these low-effort joysticks, available on most loaders, operators control all machine functions with their hands. (Optional on select models.) This state-of-the-art system includes several exclusive features that adapt the loader’s performance to specific job requirements including speed management, horsepower management, steering drift compensation and a drive response mode.
On-Board Technologies
Technologies within the cab of a Bobcat machine are just as important as the steel used to construct the body of the equipment. These on-board technologies are designed with operators in mind to increase productivity and efficiency on the job.
