en.Wedoany.com Reported - American construction equipment manufacturer Bobcat held the European premiere of its R-Series compact loaders at the Samoter exhibition in Italy, while also unveiling an upgraded version of its flagship tracked model, the T650. The R-Series includes tracked models T66-2, T76-2, T86-2 and wheeled models S66-2, S76-2, S86-2. The model name changes make it easier for customers to identify that the equipment features Bobcat's latest innovative technologies.
The R-Series features upgrades in electrical system reliability, with the S86/T86-2's lift height increased to 3.7 meters and engine power boosted from 105 hp to 115 hp, equipped with an 8-inch high-resolution touchscreen that supports glove operation. The new products introduce four drive modes—Balanced, Agile, Dynamic, and Heavy Load—allowing operators to customize the machine's response characteristics according to their needs. The cab layout has been redesigned, featuring modern charging options and an improved control interface.
Bobcat Loader Product Manager Katinka Kincses stated: "As the industry continues to evolve and a significant portion of the workforce is set to retire in the coming years, Bobcat has introduced solutions designed to support operators, regardless of their experience level, through intuitive controls, smarter systems, and simplified operation."
The new T650 compact tracked loader is equipped with a 2.4-liter, 55 kW (74 hp) Bobcat engine that requires no AdBlue, features vertical lift kinematics, and has an operating capacity of 1,192 kg. This model comes with a steel chassis, an efficient cooling system, the Bob-tach™ attachment mounting system, an optional high-flow hydraulic system, and the standard Machine IQ telematics system.
Katinka Kincses noted: "The compact tracked loader segment is very important in Italy and other parts of Europe, given the nature of current work, which includes road maintenance, infrastructure construction, or fiber optic network deployment. With its model range, particularly the T650 tracked loader and the new T76-2 and T86-2, Bobcat is ideally positioned in the market."
