Big Results – Small Package Compact track loaders weigh more than skid-steer loaders of the same size. Thanks to tracks, that weight is spread out over a wider area for increased flotation, minimal ground disturbance, higher pushing force and better lifting of larger loads. Designed for Durability Heavy-duty construction, component protection and superior design with minimal moving parts increase the service life of your loader – no matter which undercarriage you choose. Superior Pushing Force With more surface area in contact with the ground, direct-drive motors and a perfect balance between...

Superior Lift Arms Your loader arms should remain rigid when you move with a load, and hydraulic hoses should be protected from the hazards of a jobsite. Bobcat knows this better than anyone. Our durable, patented liftarm design and a choice of lift path help you meet the unique demands of your job. Higher lift, more capacity and reach at maximum height. Scan this to see the video. Vertical Lift Path A vertical lift path provides higher lift capacity and more reach at full lift height than radius lift path, keeping the load closer to the machine while you raise the loader arms. Because you achieve...

Job-Matched Lift Arms A vertical lift path and radius lift path each have their advantages. Bobcat builds both styles to match the work you do. Single-Plane Design Every pin and connecting point on Bobcat lift arms are part of a singleplane design. Side-to-side movement is minimized, resulting in less wear and longer life. It also helps prevent unwanted spillage of material. Radius Lift Path Radius lift path provides maximum reach at truck bed height. Arm movement forms an arc. More than 80 percent of that arc delivers better reach at truck bed height. A radius lift path excels in jobs at mid-range...
