Bobcat will be showing the complete range of new generation compact loaders and compact excavators for the first time at Intermat and the company will be celebrating its 25 years of success in the mini excavator market. Bobcat will also be showing the new TL470HF telescopic handler with high horsepower and the comprehensive display will include a wide selection of Bobcat attachments such as the new sonic tracer system for use with the company's two largest 244 and 274 cm heavy duty grader attachments.

In 2012, Bobcat will celebrate its 25 years of success in the compact excavator market. From what began as an important diversification for Bobcat as the premier manufacturer of skid-steer loaders, the last 25 years have seen the company evolve to become one of the world's leading compact excavator manufacturers and lay claim to being the global leader in compact construction equipment.

Twenty-five years on, the Bobcat compact excavator range sets the standard worldwide for performance, quality, reliability and durability. The range currently comprises 13 different models of compact excavators with operating weights from 1-8 tonne, including both conventional and zero tail swing designs. Visitors to Intermat will see the very latest from Bobcat with a display of the new E Series excavators, including the new 2.6 tonne zero tail swing E26 compact excavator, offering all the advantages of the E Series: high reliability, exceptional operator comfort, smooth and precise workgroup operation and superior hydraulic performance.
