This latest news from Bobcat Sverige and Nordkust comes as Bobcat itself announces the launch of a mini tracked loader model, which set is set to take place at the 2022 Galabau Exhibition in Germany next month. 

The new MT100 mini tracked loader is a stand-on unit that “removes the need for manual labour” on construction and demolition sites.

“The compact dimensions of the MT100 provide easy passage through narrow gates and doorways and facilitate work in confined spaces,” said Bobcat.

“In addition, the MT100 shares many of the same attachments found on other small Bobcat loaders such as buckets, trenchers, breakers and sweepers using the same standard Bob-Tach system.”
