Bobcat is presenting the all-new L100 (1.0 m³ bucket capacity) and the updated L85 (0.8 m³) compact wheel loaders for the first time at GaLaBau in Nuremberg in Germany — at the Bobcat booth in Hall 7, Stand 7-334 — from 15–18 September 2026.
Both models feature a redesigned operator’s workstation, a wide range of application-specific options for landscaping and horticulture and significantly higher hydraulic performance.
“Compact wheel loaders in landscaping are under pressure every day: completing many work cycles, dealing with changing ground conditions and often very limited space. The new L100 and the L85 are built for exactly that,” says Matyáš Heuer, Loader Product Manager at Bobcat. “They are intuitive to operate from the first shift, deliver high breakout forces for clean penetration and keep the bucket steady even on uneven terrain.”
With the new compact wheel loaders, the bucket volume is already indicated in the model name: 1.0 m³ in the new L100 and 0.8 m³ in the L85. Both machines are delivered as standard with a heated cab, adjustable steering wheel, automatic parking brake, joystick integrated into the seat and a high-resolution display. In addition, they can be tailored specifically for landscape construction, municipal operations or material handling through application-oriented options.
The centrepiece of the redesigned cab is the way the attachments are controlled via the joystick: up to four attachment functions can be operated directly via the joystick without the hand having to leave the joystick.
The L85 and L100 compact wheel loaders can be ordered in three speed variants: 20, 30 or 40 km/h, suitable for registration requirements and application profile. An optional hitch up to 3.5 t with electrical socket simplifies the transport of equipment between construction sites. For demanding operating conditions, an additional counterweight, a reversible cooling fan to prevent dust clogging, protective plates and a ground protection kit are available as options.
