Bobcat Company has introduced an updated generation of compact loaders that reorganize its equipment lineup and add new operator-focused technology features.

The updated lineup groups machines into two categories, Classic and Pro, which include both compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders designed for a range of construction, maintenance, and public works applications.

Two Compact Loader Categories

The Classic category includes models built around established Bobcat controls and machine configurations. These machines offer features such as selectable joystick controls or optional hand-and-foot controls, two-speed travel, automatic ride control, and optional rear camera integration.

Classic models include:

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

The Pro category includes compact loaders equipped with additional technology and performance features.

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

These models introduce four selectable drive modes: balanced, agile, dynamic, and charged, which allow operators to adjust machine responsiveness to suit specific tasks.

Pro models also include structural weight reductions, updated electrical systems, and redesigned operator cabs featuring an 8-inch touchscreen display, integrated rear camera, added storage, and heated air-ride seating.

The T86-2 compact track loader and S86-2 skid-steer loader feature 115 horsepower and a lift height of approximately 12 feet.

Operator-Assist and Jobsite Awareness Technology

Bobcat is also introducing new technology systems intended to assist operators and improve job site awareness.

Jobsite Companion, an optional system available on Pro loaders in the United States, enables voice-activated control of certain machine functions and can automatically adjust attachment settings. The system also provides a dashboard that tracks operating costs and compares them to job estimates.

Additional camera- and radar-based safety technologies are available through the company’s jobsite awareness systems. These include:

• Bobcat View camera systems - providing rear-view or wide-area visibility around the machine.
• Rear Object Detection and Avoidance - a radar-based feature that detects objects or people behind the loader and can alert the operator or slow the machine.
• 360 People Detection - a camera-based system that identifies the presence of people around the machine and alerts the operator.

“This launch isn’t just about new machines, it’s about how people work. By giving operators more choice, more control and smarter technology, we’re building equipment that adapts alongside the workforce and the jobsites of tomorrow," said Brad Claus, Senior Vice President of North America construction equipment.

The updated compact loader models are expected to be available through select North American dealerships beginning in summer 2026.
