S590 Skid-Steer Loader

Bobcat® loaders will meet your high expectations for performance, every time you use them. The design, balance and weight distribution have been perfected to deliver more usable horsepower, powerful breakout forces and faster cycle times. With a Bobcat loader you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.

Bobcats are better balanced! When not carrying a load, your Bobcat® skid-steer loader has a weight distribution of 70% in the rear and 30% in the front. This is the optimum weight distribution, giving you balanced, easy turning and skidding for ideal performance. What's more, it minimises fuel consumption and power requirements, while maximising drive train and tyre life, leading to less wear and tear compared to “flat-footed” machines sold by some other manufacturers.

Bobcat Skid-Steer Loaders offer you the choice of two lift-path options, so we're sure to meet your needs. Vertical lift-path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius lift-path models offer maximum reach at truck-bed height. Both options feature our durable and patented single-plane design which reduces side-to-side lift arm movement and minimises load on the pins.

When the dust flies, the machine temperature rises and you’re pushing to finish a project, you need a cooling system that won’t let you down! The patented Bobcat® cooling system features a dual-path design that cools more efficiently, with a quiet fan that only turns as fast as needed. For added reliability, the radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are safely protected from jobsite hazards.

The optional M-Series Deluxe Instrumentation Panel brings the latest advances in communication, monitoring, productivity and control to your Bobcat® skid-steer loader or compact track loader. It monitors key loader functions, communicates alerts and provides additional attachment information to track usage. Using the ultra-sharp LCD screen and simple interface, you will be able to access data and helpful notifications to keep your loader operating at peak capacity with maximum uptime.

Automatic ride control reduces material spillage, allowing you to travel at faster speeds across rough terrain. Thanks to its dampening effect, this option also increases operator comfort by offering a smoother ride.

It's easy to see why Bobcat Selectable Joystick Controls (SJC) is becoming the most popular control choice among operators. Our low-effort joysticks are loaded with Bobcat-exclusive features and fingertip switches to help you control your loader and attachments more easily and comfortably. No other joystick in the industry even comes close to delivering the level of customisation and control you'll find with SJC. We put the power in your hands!

For safety and increased efficiency, Bobcat® skid-steer loader (SSL) and compact track loader (CTL) cabs are designed for the best possible all-around visibility. As you grade next to a building or load the machine on a trailer, you’ll gain better sight lines for easier and faster operation. You can easily see the bucket corners and cutting edge from your seat. Your tracks or tyres are also visible without raising the loader arms.

In your line of work, you have to dive right in – where the dirt, dust, mud and debris are at their worst. That's why you need a Bobcat loader - our enclosed cabs have a best-in-class pressurised interior space that keeps down dust to a minimum, keeping you clean and comfortable. The one-piece seal and unique, curved door pocket ensure that you enjoy the best-possible protection. Keep warm air in the cab during cold weather, and ensure that cool air keeps you comfortable on hot days.

Bobcat offers extended choice of factory installed tires, ensuring they can be more closely matched to your job right from the start.

With Bobcat® skid-steer loaders (SSL) and compact track loaders (CTL), you’re ready for almost anything that you could possibly encounter on the jobsite. The radiator and hydraulic oil cooler are protected from danger, while hoses are routed through the loader arms and frame uprights for extra protection. Quick couplers are mounted directly into the front plate of the lift arm. The solid-steel tailgate has no cooling holes or other openings for intrusions that could damage the machine.

The Bobcat reputation for reliable equipment and maximum uptime protects your own reputation for timely, productive work. These better-built loaders rely on a range of features that help minimise maintenance and protect your machine: machine shutdown protection, self-diagnostics, battery run-down protection, cold weather protection and other features. What's more, Bobcat skid-steer loaders feature the industry’s only maintenance-free chaincase, which further reduces maintenance and gives you added peace of mind.

Another unique Bobcat advantage ... the only maintenance-free chaincase on the market! With exclusive fixed axle tubes, stronger axles, and fully sealed bearings to maximise uptime and your peace of mind. The protected axle seals never need adjustments or greasing. Endless roller, high-strength oval chains (HSOC) are manufactured to very strict tolerances, with thick side-link plates and hardened pins. The chains are 38% stronger than other manufacturers’ chains.

Most other skid-steer loaders have flat bottoms. This means that when conditions turn wet and muddy, they can easily sink, spin and struggle. Bobcat® Skid-Steer Loaders are designed differently and they perform better in challenging conditions. The undercarriage is keel-shaped, with the lowest point at the centre of the machine, so the loader passes over most obstructions just like a boat slices through water. You'll be able to work more effectively, even in difficult conditions.

No other loaders are as easy to access for maintenance and servicing as Bobcat® skid-steer loaders (SSL) and compact track loaders (CTL). You receive easy, full access to the engine checks and fills, filters and battery. Unlike other brands, you do not need to raise the lift arms to service the machine. So you can spend your time completing maintenance work, rather than struggling to gain access.

Bobcat makes maintenance simpler and faster with easy-to-access grease point locations on critical pivot points. So you don't have to lie on the ground or stand on the wheels or tracks to grease the pins.

You can check your hydraulic oil level quickly and easily as you walk by your machine. Always keep an eye on hydraulic oil levels and simplify your daily checks.

Bobcat® loaders can be serviced from one side thanks to the exclusive belt-drive system. This durable technology with a multi-groove Kevlar™ belt allows your loader engine to run slower, which reduces noise and gives your machine longer durability. This optimised engine-to-pump package is also more efficient.

Bobcat attachments help you do so much more. The versatility of our attachments and the support from the Bobcat dealer network is an unbeatable combination. Quick couplers give you clean, rapid attachment changes every time, and the attachment control kit simplifies operation. On selected attachments, high-flow hydraulics provide a big power boost.

With the standard Bob-Tach® mounting system you can change an attachment on your loader in less than a minute. So you can easily use different attachments - bucket, auger, landscape rake, grapple and many others - throughout your day. Developed more than 35 years ago, the Bob-Tach system is time-tested.
