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.

It monitors key loader functions, communicates alerts and provides additional attachment information to track usage. Using the ultra-sharp LCD screen and simple interface, you'll access data and helpful notifications to keep your loader operating at peak capacity with greater uptime

As Bobcat completes its Tier 4 compliance, every final Tier 4-compliant loader over 25 hp will feature the new Bobcat engine.
