Volumetric Concrete Mixer: Solid Body

The Titan volumetric concrete mixer features a single-body design, significantly reducing the weight of the vehicle compared with earlier models. Made of Hardox 450 steel, the single-piece design integrates the various bins for the concrete components, eliminating gaps and stress points. While the Titan’s recommended payload is the same as earlier Bay Lynx models, the new design lowers the center of gravity, improving stability when the vehicle is traveling at full capacity.

Compact Loader: Redesigned With New Options

Bobcat had its new R-Series compact loaders and compact excavators on display at World of Concrete 2020. The T76 compact track loader and the S76 skid-steer loader feature single-piece cabs that are sealed and pressurized to reduce dust and noise in the cab. The loaders’ cooling system has been improved, with a 50% larger fan size. Options include a premium LED package for 360° illumination around the loader and a torsion suspension undercarriage to reduce the amount of vibration felt by the operator.
