Heavy tracked loaders

1130 Bobcat is offering three new steel tracked versions of its heavyweight loaders, the T250, T300 and T320. The factory-fit steel track options for the loaders offer an alternative to the conventional rubber tracked configurations for applications such as demolition. The tracks allow the machines to work on rocky and abrasive soils, as well as breaking and clearing concrete/asphalt surfaces, providing better traction and increased ground adherence.

With a 1.87m machine width, all three steel-tracked machines have a better turning ability than larger tracked machines. The steel tracks are 340mm wide and offer up to three times the track life of rubber tracks in heavy duty applications. Compared to the rubber tracked versions, the steel tracked T250, T300 and T320 models have an increase in operating weight of around 280kg each and provide a 37-45% increase in pushing force. The steel tracked machines offer high digging power and good dozing and grading capabilities, allowing work to be completed more quickly, particularly in more strenuous conditions.
