With the introduction of nine new machines for construction, road construction and landscaping contractors, Bobcat Company has expanded its offering of light compaction equipment.
According to Travis Kidder, Senior Product Specialist, Bobcat, "Bobcat's lightweight compaction equipment is made for jobs in confined spaces, requiring efficient compaction with an emphasis on operator comfort." “We have a product that will meet all your light compaction needs,” the company claims.
Rammers, forward vibratory plates, reversible vibratory plates and slotted rollers are all part of Bobcat's complete line of light compaction products. This lightweight compaction line is designed to meet the compaction needs in almost all job sites and can be used in a variety of applications.
Kidder pointed out that each machine has unique advantages in terms of maneuverability, power and fuel economy.
This new lineup is expected to be easy to use and easy to maintain. With the exception of the slotted roller, each machine has an optional vibration-activated hour meter that tracks working hours and alerts the operator when maintenance is due. There are optional transport wheels that can be used to move the machine around the job site without tools. To set and move the wheels, release the lock.
