Summer might signal vacation for some — but for landscapers, facility managers and contractors, it's peak time for clean-up and upkeep.
Bobcat is stepping up with a newly expanded line of machines and attachments designed to handle everything from overgrowth to debris removal.
Clean-up applications can include sweeping away debris (from pavements, parking lots, driveways and so on). Suitable for a range of carriers including Bobcat skid-steer and compact track loaders, compact wheel loaders, telehandlers and small articulated loaders (SALs),
Bobcat Sweeper attachments can sweep and collect dirt or other debris in both forward and reverse directions. These attachments are also ideal for cleaning on docksides and in warehouses.
Adding another level of versatility, Bobcat Pressure Washer attachments are designed to spray high pressure water on roads or any kind of surface that needs to be cleaned. Suitable for use with skid-steer, compact track and compact wheel loaders as well as specific construction/agricultural telehandlers, Bobcat pressure washers can be used to clean and sanitise streets.
clearing away loose materials such as piles of branches, leaves, waste materials and other loose debris. Built tough for reliability and endurance, the Grapple Bucket attachment from Bobcat can easily handle scrap, waste, brush and other hard-to-manage materials.
Bobcat has also expanded the company’s Brushcat Rotary Cutter Range with new deck sizes for the SALs. The new Brushcat attachments offer cutting widths of 1118 and 1372 mm, respectively, and are the smallest models in the full line-up of Brushcat rotary cutters, which offers larger models with cutting widths of 1676, 1829 or 2032 mm.
Like the larger models, the two new smaller Brushcat attachments deliver powerful cutting and mulching action in areas of untamed growth and can pass through gates and other narrow entrances to work in areas that are inaccessible to larger machines. They are designed to handle tough brush clearing jobs in a wide variety of applications, such as agriculture, forestry, landscaping, municipalities, parks and recreation areas.
For use with Bobcat compact loaders and selected telehandlers, Flail Cutter attachments are ideal for cutting through overgrowth on construction sites as well as alongside roads and sidewalks. They adjust to follow the ground contours. Another set of attachments in this area are the Self-levelling Flail Mowers which when mounted on a wide range of Bobcat mini excavators are ideal for shredding vegetation on any terrain, including roadways or ditches, or to clear out shrubs and long grass from forgotten areas.
For regular maintenance of lawns, turf areas, golf courses and sports fields, Mid- and Rear-mowing attachments can turn a Bobcat compact tractor into a mowing powerhouse.
The mid-mount mower enables the driver to mow large areas with ease, including areas where manoeuvrability is tight.
Bobcat’s Box Blade attachments can be used on the company’s compact tractors and selected loaders, providing a solution for removing bumpy or uneven landscaping, where such surfaces can lead to falls or injuries and the uneven terrain makes even the simplest task, like mowing, a challenge.
The Bobcat carrier and attachment line-up covers roadwork and maintenance from the very beginning until the perfect finish. Users can cut asphalt surfaces with the Self-levelling Planer attachments or Wheel Saw attachments and then sweep, spread asphalt and compact a new surface layer, all with the same tool carrier. Operators can connect attachments within seconds and operate them from the safety of their cab or by remote control, making road maintenance both easier than ever and more effective.
The Soil and Asphalt Spreader attachment is engineered for use on Bobcat loaders to lay asphalt and other material in order to create pavements, widen existing roads or fill trenches saving time and labour.
