Bobcat reveals three new loader ‘concepts’ at Demo Days

05 June 2023

Equipment and attachment specialist Bobcat chose its recent Demo Days event to showcase a range of loaders including the S7X all-electric skid steer.

The event, which took place across 12 days in late May and early June at the company's manufacturing base in Dobris, Czech Republic, also included material handling and portable power products as well as MaxControl remote operation technology.

Like the T7X, the all-electric compact tracked loader unveiled last year, the S7X prototype is all electric, as it is powered by a 60.5 kWh, lithium-ion battery, features electric drive motors and uses ball screw actuators for lift and tilt functions.

Meanwhile, the new L95 model previewed at Demo Days will be the next addition to the Bobcat compact wheeled loader line-up, following the original L85 machine introduced in 2021. The L95 is powered by a Bobcat 75 hp engine and offers a top speed of 40 km/hr (25 mph) and an increased lift capacity.

At the smaller end of the range, the company displayed what it called a new concept machine in the 2 to 3 t category, while the L35, a new small articulated loader (SAL) concept machine is an extension of the existing SAL portfolio to cover the market segment for high performance machines which are easy to transport on a trailer.

The company said: "Bobcat has broadened its product portfolio significantly within the past five years, launching more machines and attachments during this period than previously in its entire history."
