The latest Bobcat compact loaders and telehanders can be combined with the Bobcat range of winter weather attachments, such as snow blowers, buckets, snow blades and salt and sand spreaders, to provide truly compact and versatile solutions for dealing with the effect of all types of winter weather.
These cover virtually any winter application, including clearance of snow and ice on urban and country roads; pavements; car parks; superstores and other out-of-town locations; driveways; parks; school playgrounds; sports fields and similar areas. To enhance working on snow, Bobcat also offers optional steel tracks to go over the tyres on the wheeled loaders as well as individual tyre snow chains.
The Bobcat family of snow blowers offers a choice of 18 models to ensure that the customer can select a snow blower that matches exactly the capacity of the carrier and its hydraulic performance, thus creating a top-performing snow removal tool working at maximum efficiency. The hydraulically driven Bobcat snow blowers are ideal for cleaning pavement, driveways, parking lots and local roads. They can throw snow up to 15m and have a rotating chute and deflector to point the snow in the direction desired.
Large-capacity buckets, with widths from 1,371mm to 2,540mm and capacities from 0.36 cubic metres to 1.53 cubic metres, are available for handling snow. They have high backs to help with pushing snow and straight sides to penetrate snow piles. For the removal of light snowfalls 100mm or less in depth, the Bobcat angle broom is an ideal attachment for use on pedestrian pathways, providing quick access by removing snow in just one pass.
The Bobcat snow blade, available in six widths from 1,219mm to 2,438mm, is designed to quickly remove light or moderate snow from pavements and driveways. An optional end wing kit converts the 2,134mm and 2,743mm models into high-production snow pushers, ideal for use in car parks and other larger areas.
The versatile Bobcat snow V-blade, which is available in five different widths, can be used in five configurations: as a V-blade, scoop blade, straight blade and 30 degrees left or 30 degrees right angle blade.
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 hopper capacity of 250 litres. The hopper can be used as a bucket to allow the spreader to be filled from a pile. The spread pattern is controlled by a hydraulic motor and ranges from 5.6m to 8.7m, depending on the hydraulic flow of the carrier.
The Bobcat scraper attachment, which is highly efficient at dislodging packed snow and ice, provides an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of chemicals or salt. The scraper removes mud, snow, ice and other packed-on materials with ease, leaving behind a smooth surface for walking or driving.
