Bobcat has launched a new version of the company’s top-of-the-range T870 compact tracked loader featuring a new torsion suspension undercarriage, replacing the previous T870 model with a roller suspension system.
Introducing a completely new undercarriage design to Bobcat compact tracked loaders, the torsion suspension undercarriage features torsion axles that dampen vibration, combining the comfort of roller suspension and the stability of a solid mount undercarriage with other new features to provide a tracked loader that outperforms all other machines on the market.
The new T870 torsion suspension machine offers 10% more lift capacity than the previous roller suspension model. The new T870 model is available with a wide range of standard and optional features and in a range of configurations to match emissions and specification requirements for all European, Middle East, Africa and Russia and CIS markets.
The new T870 provides a more comfortable and relaxed environment in the cab − achieving a new level of comfort without sacrificing work performance. The torsion suspension improves not only ride quality, it also absorbs stresses and vibrations encountered on the job. The result is reduced wear and tear, and improved component life, throughout the machine.
The key product improvements and customer benefits are:
- Improved comfort and ride quality with reduced vibrations and noise inside the cab
- Increased stability with superior grading and ground engagement characteristics
- Increased flotation and reduced ground pressure with increased ground contact
- Highest lifting capacity compact loader with increased performance
- Increased uptime with increased productivity
- Increased durability and reliability with increased productivity
- Improved debris shedding with ease of clean-out.
