Bobcat Offers Even More Snow Clearance Solutions

Published on: 29 October 2024

Bobcat has announced an even wider choice of snow clearance solutions, probably the largest on the market. The range combines an expanded number of carriers that now includes compact tractors as well as compact wheel, skid-steer and compact track loaders and telehandlers, with a vast array of attachments such as snowblowers, angle brooms, scrapers, salt and sand spreaders, snow V-blades, snow blades and snow pushers.  

The Snow Solutions range covers every winter application, including clearance of snow and ice on urban and country roads; pavements; car parks and other out-of-town locations. To enhance working on snow, Bobcat also offers optional steel tracks to go over the tyres on the compact tractors and wheeled loaders as well as individual tyre snow chains or snow tracks.

The Bobcat range ensures that customers have performance matched to their Bobcat machine, allowing them to work harder using products with stronger components and construction, backed by the best dealer support, parts and service available. Further peace-of-mind is provided by the 12-month warranty on every serial-numbered Bobcat attachment.

 

Compact Tractors to Suit Every Requirement 

Bobcat now offers three Compact Tractor platforms – the 1000, 2000 and 4000 series – which feature nine models from 25 to 58 HP designed to meet the varying needs of customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Bobcat Compact Tractors are designed to increase productivity, versatility and reliability. Whatever the application, these machines help to get the job done efficiently thanks to their robust construction, smooth operation, flexible configuration and full compatibility with a wide range of Bobcat attachments. 

Bobcat Snow Solution Attachments 

Bobcat Snowblowers are top performing snow removal tools working at maximum efficiency, clearing snow off driveways, parking lots, pavements and roads. The snowblower attachments feature a new and extremely durable direct-drive, sprocket-style chute that operators can rotate to throw snow up to 12 m in virtually any direction and place it wherever the job requires - even in hard-to-reach places. The snowblower range has also been extended with new models to take full advantage of the faster travel speeds, higher productivity and excellent visibility available with Bobcat compact wheel loaders. 

Bobcat 3-point Rear Snowblowers are perfect for blowing snow away from concrete or gravel driveways and parking lots. These snowblowers function from the rear PTO and 3-point hitch of the compact tractors. They are powerful, productive and easy to operate.

There are four sizes of Bobcat Angle Broom attachment with widths from 132 to 213 cm, designed to sweep away light snow, dirt, dried mud and other debris quickly and efficiently. The angle broom attachment can sweep flush to a kerb or wall on the right hand side. Reversible rotation allows the operator to sweep snow away from garage doors, gutters and other obstacles with ease, using the loader’s fingertip controls.

The Bobcat Scraper attachment, available with disk diameters of 46 or 56 cm, is highly efficient at dislodging packed snow and ice, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of chemicals or salt, leaving behind a smooth surface for walking or travelling along. 

The hydraulic Salt and Sand Spreader is ideal for spreading in confined areas, such as car parks and pedestrian zones, where larger equipment cannot be used. This attachment has a generous hopper capacity of 330 l. The hopper can be used as a bucket to allow the spreader to be filled from a pile. 

The Bobcat Snow V-Blade is a versatile, hydraulically operated attachment offering five different blade configurations to help operators move snow fast. The blade has on-the-go fingertip control and angles 30° right or left to continuously push snow to either side of the loader, straight or scoop configurations to push large amounts of snow, or a V-configuration to plough through the deepest snow.

The Bobcat Snow Blade, available in seven widths from 152 to 274 cm, is designed to quickly remove light or moderate snow from pavements and driveways. The moldboard on the snow blade angles right or left up to 30° and high visibility masts help locate the blade corners. Customers can choose between standard or heavy-duty options, to best suit their application.

The Bobcat Snow Pusher attachment is available in two sizes with widths of 244 cm and 300 cm, respectively. Designed to push snow with speed and efficiency, the flotation and oscillation of the moldboard keeps the snow pusher in contact with the ground without damaging equipment or property, allowing for snow removal even over decorative and uneven surfaces. As the snow pusher has rubber skis and an edge as standard, the operator can clear snow quickly, without damaging the ground.

Large capacity buckets, with widths from 168 to 254 cm and capacities from 690 to 1530 l, are also available for handling snow. They have high backs to help with pushing snow and straight sides to penetrate snow piles.
