Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - Bobcat unveiled the new generation of compact loaders at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, increasing its R-Series line with improved performance, operator comfort, and technology.
The portfolio has been extended to include small track loaders T66-2, T76-2, and T86-2, as well as skid-steer loaders S66-2, S76-2, and S86-2. The flagship T86-2, with 115 horsepower and a lift height of 3.7 metres, is designed for demanding lifting and material-handling tasks.
The machines have new electrical systems, increased dependability, and a more modern operator interface. Cab enhancements include a high-back heated air-ride seat, USB and USB-C charging connections, an 8-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth connectivity, and integrated cameras for improved visibility.
Operators may change responsiveness and machine behavior based on the application using four configurable drive modes: balanced, agile, dynamic, and charged.
Along with the loaders, Bobcat demonstrated new technologies such as worksite Companion, an AI-powered system that automates machine tasks and delivers worksite insights, Bobcat Sense Detection Systems for safety monitoring, and Service.AI diagnostic tools and the RogueX3 self-propelled electric concept loader.
The new R-Series loaders will be available for order in Europe beginning in March 2026, with a regional display at SaMoTer later that year.
