Landscaping zone The fifth member of the new R-Series – the E26 – can be seen in the Landscaping zone. To overcome a common issue in the rental market and thus protect uptime, the E26 is equipped with extra innovative features such as the Cylinder-Inside-Boom (CIB) workgroup and also offers increased protection against bucket collision with the cab. The E26 will be equipped with a new 85 cm flail mower attachment, part of a new line of light duty flail mowers designed to fit the complete range of Bobcat compact excavators from 1,5 to 8 tonne. The new flail mowers do not have a drain line for simple installation (plug-and-play) and have a roller and self-levelling design for ease of use, with a 10 second stop for increased safety. These user-friendly flail mowers are a perfect fit for rental companies. Bobcat’s top-of-the-range T870 compact track loader will also be shown for the first time at Bauma in the Landscape zone. The T870 features a new torsion suspension undercarriage, with torsion axles that dampen vibration, combining the comfort of roller suspension and the stability of a solid mount undercarriage with other new features to provide a tracked loader that outperforms all other machines on the market. The new T870 torsion suspension machine offers 10% more lift capacity than the previous roller suspension model. Demolition zone The final zone on the Bobcat stand is the Demolition zone which will feature the best-selling Bobcat E10z mini-excavator. The E10z has a maximum digging depth of 1,82 m and a machine weight of 1066 kg. One of the main features that differentiates the E10z from other machines on the market is the patented side adjustable consoles which accommodate hydraulic pilot pressure controlled joysticks. This design is unique in its class, allowing the operator to enjoy the comfort and feel of much larger machines, whilst being able to adjust the width of the consoles for easy passage through narrow openings. 

Bobcat showing the company’s new high performance Bobcat TL43.80HF model for the first time at Bauma. The TL43.80HF offers a high lift capacity of 4,3 tonne and a maximum lift height of almost 8 m, for handling applications in general industry and recycling. The TL43.80HF is designed with a heavy duty concept comprising reinforced axles, an additional counterweight and Z-bar kinematics which together give an outstanding range of motion and extra break-out force, combined with the fastest boom movement available in this market. Earthmoving zone The new E27, E34 and E35z R-Series mini-excavators will form the core of the Earthmoving zone. Even with its optional heavy counterweight, the conventional swing E27 model offers just 280 mm of tail overhang which allows the machine to be operated in confined spaces. This makes the machine an ideal tool for highly demanding applications where performance together with transportability have a priority over compactness. The 3,4 tonne E34 features a new roomy premium cab with optional powerful air conditioning to ensure an ideal operator environment in all weather conditions. When transportability on a trailer and ZTS are not needed, this machine offers a great mix of performance, stability and operator comfort. Roadwork zone The Roadwork zone features the new R-Series E27z ZHS mini- excavator and Bobcat S630 and S770 skid-steer loaders equipped with the new Bobcat WS-SL20 wheel saw and PSL120 self-levelling planer attachments. Being shown for the first time at Bauma, the new WS-SL20 Wheel Saw is designed to cut efficiently through asphalt, rock and concrete surfaces. It has a variable segments wheel, which allows the user to quickly change the width of the wheel (50, 80, 100, 120 mm) in the field, instead of replacing the complete wheel in a workshop (providing a saving of 10 hours in the process).

"The exciting display of Bobcat machines will be complemented by advanced augmented reality technology."
