With two lift path options, Bobcat® skid-steer loaders have you covered. Vertical lift path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius lift path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height.

Cooling on Bobcat® loaders features the exclusive SmartFAN that only turns as fast as needed.
