Bobcat (forklift): specifications

Machines that offer the company Bobcat, are very popular around the world. Despite a large number of competitors, the machine-building enterprise is the first in the production of machinery for loading and unloading operations. There is no industry where Bobcat loaders do not work.

Bobcat S175

Leader for a long period is the front loader S175. This model has won its popularity thanks to an excellent combination of compact dimensions and high power. This allowed to carry out loading operations even in conditions with a limited area. In addition to excellent working parameters, the machine is characterized by high quality of assembly, reliability and durability of all power components. As a result, you can save a lot on daily maintenance, since the repair work and service are not required for a sufficiently long period.

"Bobcat" is a loader, in which the ergonomics of the cabin and the driver's seat are very well worked out. There were options that were equipped with air conditioning, heated seats, as well as a luxury instrument panel, and a control system.

Specifications Bobcat S175

Japanese motor, installed on this model, meets all environmental standards adopted in Europe. This front loader is capable of developing 34.2 kW of specific power, which made it possible to move at a speed of 17.9 km / h. This is a very big indicator for machines of this class. In order to ensure an adequate power reserve, a fuel tank of 90 liters is installed. This solution allows you to reduce the time for simple equipment, during refueling. The maximum weight Bobcat can lift is 900 kg.

"Bobcat" is a loader that excellently showed itself as a technique for snow removal in a large city. It is practically indispensable in other branches of the municipal economy. All because of its small dimensions and a rather quiet motor.

Bobcat S530

In many industries penetrated the American company "Bobcat". Mini-loader with a characteristic logo can be found on construction sites, as well as in a metropolis. The main advantage of this technology is high maneuverability, impressive load capacity, and all this with small dimensions. S530 - model equipped with a three-point lifting mechanism. Unlike its predecessors, the S530 received an elongated base and an arrow of a vertical type. This in total provides almost perfect stability when working on the most unusual types of coating. The machine can not only deal with loading, standing in one position, nor moving with the load. Thanks to this in the warehouse there are no equal techniques "Bobcat". The loader is able to cope with the task at hand even in conditions where the working space has been limited to it.

S530 Features

The S530 is widely used in the industry, all thanks to a wide selection of attachments that perfectly match this mini loader. There are two main areas of use for the S530:

- Agriculture - here it is possible to use Bobcat as a pile-stacker during the distribution of fodder for small and large livestock. It is possible to work as an aerator, and also as a ripper.

- Municipal economy. In this industry, as a rule, Bobcat is used to restore order in the streets, for harvesting foliage and snow. To perform such tasks, the machine is equipped with a special blade or brush.

The S530 is equipped with a diesel power unit, which is capable of developing a capacity of 49.5 liters. from. This is sufficient for lifting 869 kg of materials. Unlike the S175, this model is equipped with a full-size cab, which can provide comfortable operation of the operator, regardless of the task. In order to create an almost perfect microclimate, a modern air conditioning and heating system is installed inside the cabin.

Telescopic handlers Bobcat

Bobcat - a company that, in addition to front loaders and equipment in the "mini" format, is engaged in the development and production of other units. Telescopic loaders "Bobkat" - this is a completely universal class of mechanisms, characterized by high technological and reliability. They can easily replace some construction machines, for example, a mobile crane or a small tower. Additional attachments make it possible to unify special equipment. After installing certain mechanisms, the machine can work with:

- loose materials;

- Hard ground;

- boxes and pallets;

- to clean snow and foliage.

Advantages

If we talk about the pros of this technique from the company Bobcat, it is worth starting to consider it with the chassis. On loaders of this category the chassis is all-wheel drive, pneumatic type. Thanks to the drive on all four wheels, high productivity is achieved on the surface with irregularities as well as on rough terrain. Most models of telescopic loaders boast a working speed of 30 km / h, which is very good for these machines.

Excellent maneuverability, as well as high throughput is provided by changing the operating modes. Bobcat is a loader on which it is possible:

• To control only the front wheels;
• Turn the front and rear wheels in different directions - the so-called turn of the class "track in a rut";
• Use a mode in which the wheels rotate simultaneously in one direction - "crab run".

Depending on the model and the configuration, it is possible to mount the 2-, as well as a 3-section boom. On the head there is a special device for fixing various attachments. The cab of the Bobcat telescopic loaders is characterized by a free space inside and at the same time excellent noise insulation. Additional protection systems are installed:

• The first is necessary in order to protect the operator when the machine is overturned;
• The second is aimed at preserving the integrity of the cabin from items that accidentally fell from above.

Cost

Special popularity and love among construction companies were won by Bobcat loaders. Their price varies depending on the equipment and the availability of additional equipment. The minimum cost starts from 1.3 million rubles. For those who can not afford to buy a new forklift, there are lots of offers for the sale of used equipment. The cost of cars on the secondary market starts at 850 thousand rubles. A lot of organizations offer to rent Bobcat, in this case it will be necessary to give 7400 rubles for 8 hours with a full tank of fuel and with the operator. The most common model to date is the Bobcat S530. It is the most versatile, and yet it is not very expensive to operate.

Analogues

If we consider the model S530, then there are no domestic analogues of such a machine. The Bobcat loader, whose technical characteristics are in some ways unique, is an indispensable machine in almost any manufacturing sector where loading operations are required. Among the foreign ones, two models can be attributed to the analogs: the Kramer 350, and also the Mustang 2056. But still they are far from the parameters that "Bobcat" possesses. All cars that are presented on the Russian market are supplied in the so-called winter equipment, with washers, windshield wipers, and also with a heated operator's cabin. It should be noted that if necessary, the door can be easily dismantled.
