Bobcat debuts at Smopyc 2020

Under the themes of Technology, Innovation and Efficiency, Bobcat will present the very latest developments from the company at the Smopyc 2020 Exhibition in Zaragoza in Spain (April 1st), including new compact track and skid-steer loaders, mini-excavators, telehandlers and attachments. The stand will show solutions for all sectors, from construction, road works, rental and demolition, to material handling and landscaping.

There will be many firsts at Smopyc from Bobcat including the launch of its new Stage V compact track and skid-steer loaders. The new loaders are the first models in the Bobcat compact equipment range in Europe to have the company’s new machine styling scheme, which includes 3D decals for the first time. Bobcat will also preview the company’s larger R-Series loaders being launched later in 2020, representing a new approach to designing skid-steer and compact track loaders.

Bobcat will also be previewing the new award-winning A-SAC Advanced Selectable Auxiliary Control system, which will be available later in 2020. The A-SAC system is a unique solution developed by Bobcat that enables operators to customize control patterns of auxiliary hydraulic circuits on Bobcat excavators, depending on their set-up preferences for using hydraulic attachments. The company Bobcat will also show off its new advanced Remote Control System for Bobcat compact loaders for the first time in Spain.

Another product being shown for the first time in Spain is the new E10e Electric Mini-Excavator, the industry's first battery-powered, zero tail swing mini-excavator in the one tonne class. The E10e answers a customer need for a zero emission and low noise tool for indoor work. The design of the battery-powered E10e is based on Bobcat’s conventional E10z mini-excavator, the market leader in the one-tonne class. The E10e forms part of a comprehensive display that includes the E17z, E27z, E35z, E45 and E57W mini-excavators from Bobcat.

Bobcat will also show the company’s TL30.70 telehandler at Smopyc which, with a maximum lifting capacity of three tonnes and a maximum lift height of almost 7m, is designed for a wide range of applications. The T40.180SLP telehandler will also be on display, with a lifting height of almost 18m and a maximum lift capacity of four tonnes. The TL30.70 and T40.180SLP are part of a Bobcat range of 15 telehandler models, covering a total of up to 21 versions, covering maximum lifting capacities between 2.6 and 4.1 tonnes, with lifting heights between 6 and 18m.
