Skid-steer Loaders
Compact
track loader option
In response to customer requests for a smoother riding compact
track loader, Bobcat Co. developed a
roller suspension system that increases operator comfort and minimizes
maintenance, while remaining durable through robust steel components.
The new roller suspension system is available as an option on the Bobcat
T320 compact track loader and will be added to other Bobcat compact
track loader models throughout the year. The roller suspension system
provides greater operator comfort by minimizing vibration at the ground.
The rollers are suspended by high-strength steel leaf springs to reduce
vibration.
