Engineered to Lift
Bobcat’s Skid Steer Loaders give you the reach you need with its two lift path options. This is achieved through a patented single-plane design that significantly reduces load on the pins and side-to-side lift arm movement. These innovations allow your team to confidently perform lifting tasks swiftly and safely.
The two lift path options that the Bobcat Skid Steer Loader has are the following:
- Vertical lift path – This path provides your machine with more reach at full lift height.
- Radius lift path – This path provides your machine with more reach at truck bed height.
Depending on your project’s requirements, you may want to find a Bobcat Skid Steer Loader with a better vertical or radius lift path.
