Bobcat Adds Three New Loaders to Portfolio

“The S86/T86 top-of-the-range models continue the same trend by setting new industry standards in every area, from in-cab comfort and safety to available power and attachment versatility The S86/T86 take what is possible with compact loaders to a whole new level ”

Three auxiliary options

One of the most exciting new aspects of the S86 and T86 is that both machines have for the first time a choice of three different auxiliary flow outputs

There is a standard flow configuration providing 87l/min for applications such as load and carry, or where low hydraulic flow attachments are used.

Bobcat also offers two additional hydraulic performance functions using the new Electronic Displacement Control (EDC) Pump: a high flow function giving 138l/min and a new, industry unique super flow function taking auxiliary flow to 159l/min

The five coupler block provides a flexible approach to running different attachments From one common source, the operator can attach both standard or high flow approved attachments to the smaller sized half inch quick couplers

Both high flow and super flow options come integrated with Bobcat’s unique attachment control device (ACD). The S86 and T86 machines also have Power Bob-Tach Attachment systems as standard.

The Power Bob-Tach is an added comfort and productivity feature that allows some attachments to be connected and removed without the operator leaving the seat

Lifting capabilities

The new S86 and T86 workgroup design increases the ability to lift more, carry more and reach further This is achieved by a new workgroup geometry that improves lifting capability throughout the lift arm ’ s range of motion

When combined with the high hydraulic performance and the lighter and stronger cast-steel lift arm sections, the loaders offer higher capacity throughout the lift cycle, even at full height

Cab comfort includes low noise and vibration levels inside the one-piece sealed and pressurised cab, together with the intuitive SJC controls as standard, and the informative displays.

The cab also has an HVAC system as standard and increased operator visibility, which can be further enhanced with the innovative clear side cab option

With the latter, 75% of the side windows are mesh-free, ensuring an unobstructed view from the cab Bobcat has also added a rear-view camera as standard equipment to the list In addition to the standard five inch in-cab display, Bobcat offers a seven inch display as an option
