Unlike its predecessors, the S530 received an extended base and boomvertical type. This in total provides almost perfect stability when working on the most unusual types of surfaces. The machine can not only load while standing in one position, but also move with a load. Thanks to this, the Bobcat technique has no equal on the territory of the warehouse. The loader is able to cope with the task, even in conditions where it has limited working space.

S530 Features

The S530 has gained quite a wide range of industrial applications thanks to the wide range of attachments that go well with this skid steer loader. There are two main areas of use for the S530:

- Agriculture - here it is possible to use the Bobcat as a stacker during the distribution of feed for small and large animals. It is possible to work as an aerator, as well as as a ripper.

Bobcat telehandlers

Bobcat is a company that, in addition to front loaders and mini-format equipment, develops and manufactures other units. Telescopic loaders "Bobcat" are a completely universal class of mechanisms, characterized by high manufacturability and reliability.

After installing certain mechanisms, the machine can work with:

- bulk materials;

- hard ground;

- boxes and pallets;

- clean snow and leaves.

Dignity

If we talk about the advantages of such equipment from Bobcat, it is worth starting to consider it from the chassis. On loaders of this category, the chassis is all-wheel drive, pneumatic type. All-wheel drive ensures high performance on rough and rough terrain. Most telehandler models boast a working speed of 30 km/h, which is very good for such machines.

Excellent maneuverability, as well as high cross-country ability, is ensured by changing operating modes. "Bobcat" - a loader that can:

• manage onlyfront wheels;
• turn the front and rear wheels in different directions - the so-called turn of the class "track to track";
• use the mode in which the wheels turn simultaneously in one direction - "crab move".

Depending on the model and on the configuration, it is possible to aggregate with a 2- or 3-section boom. A special device for attaching a variety of attachments is installed on the head. The cabin of Bobcat telehandlers is characterized by free space inside and at the same time excellent sound insulation. Additional protection systems installed:

• the first is necessary in order to protect the operator if the machine rolls over;
• the second is aimed at maintaining the integrity of the cabin from objects accidentally falling from above.

Cost

Bobcat loaders have gained particular popularity and love among construction companies. Their price varies depending on the configuration and availability of additional equipment. The minimum cost starts from 1.3 million rubles. For those who cannot afford to buy a new forklift, there are many offers for sale of used equipment. The cost of cars in the secondary market starts from 850 thousand rubles. Many organizations offer to rent a Bobcat, in which case you will need to pay 7,400 rubles for 8 hours with a full tank of fuel and with an operator. The most common model today is the Bobcat S530. It is the most versatile, and yet it is not very expensive to operate.

Analogues

If we consider the S530 model, then there are no domestic analogues of such a machine. The Bobcat loader, whose technical characteristics are in a sense unique, is an indispensable machine in almost any industry where loading operations are required. Among the foreign ones, two models can be attributed to analogues: the Kramer 350, as well as the Mustang 2056. But still, they are far from the parameters that the Bobcat has. All machines that are presented on the Russian market are supplied in the so-called winter configuration, with washers, wipers, and also with a heated operator's cab. It should be noted that if necessary, the door can be easily dismantled.
