Let’s look at some of the advantages of a Bobcat Skid Steer, and there are plenty to choose from.
Hydraulic Performance
These loaders have a multifunctional hydraulic system, allowing them to dig while pushing or lift while tilting. Bobcat Skid Steer loaders intelligently direct the correct amount of power to each component. This enables a balanced and powerful performance, unequalled by many other brands.
Operator Friendly, Customisable Controls
Bobcats have standard controls allowing the operator to use dual steering levers to control drive function. Dual foot pedals are in place to control loader lift and tilt functions. The controls will suit each user as they are customisable for efficient operation. They feature speed management, so that the machine can be set to move in exactly the way you prefer. Horsepower management means continual power, and no engine stalling when working on the roughest terrain.
Loader Lift-Arms
State of the art design technology has also been applied by Bobcat to their Skid Steer loader lift-arms. Vertical and radius lift path choices help if you intend to use load dump trucks. These lift-arms deliver targeted loading for more accurate and faster job completion for your project in Hornchurch. The loaders are excellent for work at mid-range heights such as unloading flatbed trucks or dumping material over a wall.
Weight Balance
Bobcat Skid Steer Loaders offer exceptional weight balance, and have a weight distribution of 70% at the rear and 30% at the front when unloaded. Benefits here include enhanced performance when turning and skidding, along with reduced fuel and power consumption. They will also suffer less wear and tear, and have increased tyre life and drive train.
Just some of the many attributes of these highly functional machines, available to hire at reasonable rates from Rhinos Plant Hire.
