Bobcat rolls out new compact loader lineup

Bobcat Company introduced its next-generation compact loader lineup at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026.

“Nearly 70 years ago, Bobcat introduced the world’s first compact loader, defining an entirely new way to work on the jobsite,” says Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat North America. “This evolution of Bobcat loaders builds on that legacy by pairing the power and durability our customers expect with intelligence and simplicity designed for a changing workforce.”

Bobcat has realigned its lineup into two distinct compact loader categories: Classic and Pro.

Classic

Classic loaders deliver familiar controls and are ideal for landscapers, rental fleets and general construction applications.

Classic models include:

• Compact Track Loaders: T450, T595, T650, T770
  
• Skid-Steer Loaders: S70, S450, S590, S650, S770
  

Operators benefit from classic Bobcat controllability using either selectable joystick controls (SJC) or optional hand and foot controls, along with two-speed travel, automatic ride control, keyless ignition and a deluxe display with optional integrated rear camera.

Pro

Pro models include:

• Compact Track Loaders: T64-2, T66-2, T76-2, T86-2
• Skid-Steer Loaders: S64-2, S66-2, S76-2, S86-2
  

Key Pro advancements include four drive modes with enhanced control software and a smooth, predictable response for precise work that requires steady control — ideal for grading, material placement and confined jobsites. The machines also feature a sharper acceleration and quicker response for high‑productivity work, and strategic weight reductions and structural optimizations that increase agility while maintaining performance.

They also feature redesigned electrical systems and an elevated operator experience featuring refreshed interiors, heated air‑ride seats, added storage and an intuitive 8‑inch touchscreen display with infotainment and an integrated rear camera.

Among the newly evolved Pro loaders, the T86‑2 and S86-2 set a new benchmark with 115 horsepower and a 12‑foot lift height, giving operators the strength and capability to take on their toughest jobs.

“One of the major drivers of our loader evolution is accelerating the pace of innovation across our lineup,” says Brad Claus, Bobcat senior vice president of North America construction equipment. “With our shift from series to categories, we will release innovations more frequently at the model level, without waiting for an entirely new series to launch. And with new technologies in place, we can deliver meaningful updates to customers more often.”
