When it comes to performance, Bobcat® loaders are in a class by themselves. Each component – including the engine, pumps and hydraulic system – is engineered to deliver maximum hydraulic performance so you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.
With two lift path options, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders have you covered. Vertical lift path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius lift path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height. The durable and patented single-plane design reduces side-to-side lift arm movement and minimizes load on the pins.
The cast-steel lift arm sections of the R-Series loaders are stronger to ensure optimal performance. Combined with the optimized lift-arm linkage, you can handle more challenging jobs with greater confidence and ease.
Automatic ride control reduces material spillage, allowing you to travel at faster speeds across rough terrain. Thanks to its dampening effect, this option also increases operator comfort by offering a smoother ride.
The Two-Speed travel option boosts your top travel speed. Reduce your travel time across jobsites, limit the need to load and unload your machine on a trailer, and shorten your long-haul tasks.
All loaders equipped with Selectable Joystick Control (SJC) can be operated by a remote control system, so you can operate the machine without having to have an operator in the cab. 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.
It's easy to see why Bobcat Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) is becoming the most popular control choice among operators. Our low-effort joysticks are loaded with Bobcat-exclusive features and fingertip switches to help you control your loader and attachments more easily and comfortably. No other joystick in the industry even comes close to delivering the level of customisation and control you'll find with SJC. We put the power in your hands!

You'll feel so comfortable and at-home in the cab of your Bobcat® skid-steer loader (SSL) or compact track loader (CTL) that you won't want to leave it! You’ll particularly appreciate the premium features and operator-friendly design. View your work area more easily, work at a pleasant temperature, sit comfortably and stay fresh with minimal fatigue. Many comfort options found in Bobcat loaders aren’t even available on other machines.
If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Bobcat® loaders include many sound dampening features that keep your cab quieter.
R-Series loaders maximize open viewing areas by minimizing and removing surfaces and structures that intrude on your sightlines. Thanks to innovative engineering, robust materials and cutting-edge manufacturing, you get the best view on the jobsite.
You'll find it easier to work for longer and perform precise work with the time-tested operator friendly controls on Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders. 1) The engine speed control is conveniently located in front of you. 2) The fingertip controls simplify the operation of Bobcat attachments such as soil conditioners, sweepers, tillers, buckets and grapples. 3) You can adjust the foot pedals to suit your preferences.
Bobcat® skid-steer loaders and compact track loaders are engineered with large swing-open doors, and a lowered door threshold, which provide ample headroom for exit and entry. Inside, even tall operators will be comfortable with plenty of headroom. Additionally, the swing-open door doesn't take up cab space and can be removed without tools.
If you work on a busy jobsite, you know that noise can be a daily frustration. Smooth, quick Bobcat® lift cylinders are automatically cushioned at the fully lowered position. The tilt cylinders are also cushioned at the full dump and rollback positions. This reduces noise and increases comfort during operation.
Maneuver more confidently. Enhance your productivity. Easily see to the sides of your machine. R-Series loaders offer an optional enclosure that maximizes visibility by reducing steel mesh screens from the side windows. The mesh-free windows are made from 3/8-inch thick polycarbonate with an abrasion-resistant coating to allow the optimal view you demand with the durability you expect.
A one-piece, sealed and pressurized cab on R-Series loaders provides a near-seamless interior for a new level of operator comfort. The cab design along with improved seals help reduce noise and vibration for enhanced sound isolation. There are no maintenance items under the rear hood for improved access to hose and electronic connections and major components. Most service items can be accessed without raising the lift arm.
Loader seats are upholstered in comfortable, breathable cloth and equipped with operator-controlled heat for warmth in cold weather. This optional seat provides peak operator comfort with air suspension that adjusts to your weight, smoothing out bumps on the jobsite for an industry-leading operator experience.

You can check your hydraulic oil level quickly and easily as you walk by your machine. Always keep an eye on hydraulic oil levels and simplify your daily checks.
No other loaders are as easy to access for maintenance and servicing as Bobcat® skid-steer loaders (SSL) and compact track loaders (CTL). You receive easy, full access to the engine checks and fills, filters and battery. Unlike other brands, you do not need to raise the lift arms to service the machine. So you can spend your time completing maintenance work, rather than struggling to gain access.
On R-Series loaders, the battery is located under the cab – separated from the engine compartment. Just lift the one-piece cab away for easy access. It's a convenient service location that 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 charge the battery or jumpstart the loader if needed.
When it's time for maintenance or repairs, simply lift the entire R-Series cab out of the way using the hardware on the exterior of the cab.
Bobcat makes maintenance simpler and faster with easy-to-access grease point locations on critical pivot points. So you don't have to lie on the ground or stand on the wheels or tracks to grease the pins.
