Bobcat: New Pressure Washer attachment for wheeled and tracked loaders

The Bobcat S530 skidsteer loader can carry the new 250M Pressure Washer attachment with a water capacity of 540 litres.

Bobcat has launched a range of new Pressure Washer attachments for its loaders, joining a family of more than 100 different kinds of original tools. Bobcat is the world’s first manufacturer to offer this kind of attachment for skid-steer, compact track and all-wheel-steer loaders on the market.

Designed to spray high-pressure water on city streets, roads or any other suitable surfaces, the plug-and-play design of the new Pressure Washer attachment provides total peace of mind. This ensures it is quick and easy to connect it to the Bobcat loader, allowing the operator to begin work with the new attachment immediately.

The compact dimensions of the new attachment guarantee maximum efficiency and simplify transportation requirements, while the front sprayer is adjustable to easily adapt to all types of work.

There are three different Pressure Washer attachments – the 250S (270 litres capacity), 250M (540 litres) and 250L (810 litres) – to match different Bobcat loaders and to meet the specific requirements of the many different applications for the attachment which include cleaning livestock sheds or farm machinery.

Bobcat’s product line manager for attachments in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Daniele Paciotti, said the company’s Pressure Washer attachment ensured that cleaning work had never been so easy and effective.

“Wherever much larger dedicated machines cannot gain access or where the job must be done mechanically – the new Pressure Washer attachment mounted on a Bobcat loader is the best way to clean surfaces,” she added.

The new Pressure Washer attachment comes complete with a 20m hosereel and lance.

The new attachment is also very versatile, as the operator can either operate the sprayer from the cab or with a lance for more targeted high-pressure water cleaning or sanitisation of various objects.

“The lance and accompanying 20m hose reel provide an easy switch from the front sprayer to handheld washing, providing an alternative solution for cleaning in any tight spaces,” Ms Paciotti said.

The 250S Pressure Washer model is intended for the Bobcat S100 skid-steer loader. Next in the range is the 250M model, which is approved for use on all Bobcat skid-steer loaders from the S450 to the S650 model and the T450, T590 and T650 track loaders. The third model, the 250L, is designed for use with the S630, S650, S770 and S850 skid-steer loaders and the T590, T650, T770 and T870 compact track loaders.

To work with the Pressure Washer attachments, all the loaders except for the S100 must be equipped with the Bobcat Attachment Control Kit, which is standard on the high flow machines.

Working closely with the supplier, Finish company Dynaset, Bobcat is is providing a Pressure Washer attachment that’s simple and effective, transforming the hydraulic power of the loader to pressurised water without any loss of power. This simplicity is also key to the ease-of-use and low maintenance of the attachment, ensuring increased uptime and more working hours.

Other product features include a floating front wheel that allows the Pressure Washer to work more smoothly and faster. As well as ease-of-use, the new Pressure Washer is also simple to clean, getting jobs done more quickly and safely with consistent results. The absence of rotating parts in its high-pressure pump increases durability and ensures low maintenance requirements.
