There will
be one of the widest arrays of new products and technology ever from Bobcat at
the Plantworx 2019 exhibition being held at the East of England Arena in
Peterborough in the UK from 11-13 June 2019.
Plantworx
will see the first appearance in the UK of the new E10e Electric
Mini-Excavator, the industry's first commercially available battery-powered,
zero tail swing mini-excavator in the one tonne class.
The E10e
is part of a full display of Bobcat mini-excavators that includes the new
R-Series models from 2-4 tonne at Plantworx for the first time. Bobcat is also
debuting new telehandlers and compact loaders at the show.
Another
important UK premiere at Plantworx will be the new advanced Remote Control
System for Bobcat compact loaders, one of a number of new attachments on show,
including a new range of flail mowers for Bobcat mini-excavators. Bobcat will
also be demonstrating 3D laser grading using the company’s compact track
loaders.
Held every
two years and organised by the UK’s Construction Equipment Association, this is
the first time Plantworx has been held at the East of England Arena.
Bobcat is
the first manufacturer to introduce a Remote Control System as original
‘Plug&Play’ equipment rather than offering it as an add-on development from
a third party. It is compatible with Bobcat compact loaders equipped with the
company’s Selectable Joystick Controls. The new system will be commercially
available later this year.
Being able
to control the loader from outside the cab offers the operator a completely new
and alternative opportunity in terms of visibility and communication. The new
plug and play system comprises an easily portable and industrial radio remote
control solution that can be mounted and dismounted on machines in a matter of
minutes, leaving behind the standard machine in its original form.
Remote
control solutions have proved their qualities and abilities to save lives in
the toughest environments all around the world by providing service during
disasters like floods, forest fires, mud or rock slides and in other places
where operators can be subjected to dangerous situations.
