Bobcat streamlines compact loader lineup

Bobcat Company has introduced the next evolution of its compact loader lineup at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, which was held in Las Vegas from March 3-7.

Bobcat has realigned its lineup into two distinct compact loader categories,?Classic?and?Pro,?making it easier to choose the right machine for different operational needs and applications.?

Bobcat is also expanding its portfolio of operator-focused solutions with an AI-enabled program (Jobsite Companion) as well as a suite of tools powered by camera- and radar-based technologies (Jobsite Awareness).

There’s no word yet on Australian availability of the new Bobcat loaders.

“Nearly 70 years ago, Bobcat introduced?the world’s first compact loader,?defining?an entirely new way to work on the jobsite,” said?Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat North America, Inc. “This evolution of Bobcat loaders builds on that legacy?by pairing?the power and durability?our customers expect?with intelligence and simplicity designed for a changing workforce.”?

The Classic loaders are tailored towards, rental?fleets?and general construction applications, using either?selectable?joystick controls?(SJC)?or optional hand and foot?controls,?along with?two-speed travel, automatic ride?control,?keyless ignition,?and?a?deluxe display with?optional?integrated rear camera.?

Classic models include the T450, T595, T650, T770, S70, S450, S590, S650 and S770.

Meanwhile, the Pro stream enjoys key advancements including weight reductions, four drive modes with enhanced software, new interiors, a versatile mode designed for everyday operation, and sharper acceleration.

Pro models include the T64-2, T66-2, T76-2, T86-2, S64-2, S66-2, S76-2 and S86-2. The T86-2?and S86-2?set?a new benchmark with 115hp and a 3.65-metre lift height, giving operators the strength and capability to take on their toughest jobs.?

Jobsite Companion features the first AI-enabled solution in the compact equipment industry and will be available?as?an option?in the USA when it goes on sale in mid-2026.?Jobsite Companion features voice commands, automated attachment?settings?and real-time jobsite insights?– allowing?operators to keep working while automating more than 50 machine functions.

Jobsite Awareness is also an option – at least in North America – introducing operator-awareness technology via camera- and radar-based systems, while a ‘sense detection’ system identifies?and alerts operators to the presence of people around the machine without intervening in machine motion.??
