CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

According to Bobcat, a minimal 0.8 in. of tail overhang allows the machine to fit in tight operating areas, allowing a more compact footprint than the 325 and 425 machines it replaces. Applications include rental, utilities, excavation and owner-operators.

The E26 excavator is manufactured
in the Czech Republic, with machines
expected to be available in August,
Bobcat said.

Also new from Bobcat is the V619 telescopic tool carrier (TTC), which has a 6000 lb. lift capacity and a 19 ft. lift height. It is aimed at ag applications such as feeding and handling as well as construction products including home building and snow removal.

The 13,470 lb. machine replaces the 518 TTC and is powered by a Tier 3 4. 4 L four-cylinder Perkins engine rated 100 hp. The engine is side mounted and coupled with an engine basket cooling system, replacing the vertical cooling package in its predecessor.

The hydrostatic transmission is driven by a Sauer-Danfoss pump through a Dana dropbox to Sauer-Danfoss two-speed motors, front and rear. Flow is directed by a Walvoil main valve with a separate Casappa gear pump supplying the boom circuit and an Eaton pump powering the steering. A Poclain pump provides flow for the brake valves.

New on the V619 TTC is a semiautomatic realignment system, which allows the operator to select between three steering modes — two-wheel, four-wheel and crab steer. Bobcat said two-wheel steering is an ideal option for traveling at higher speeds, four-wheel steering provides greater maneuverability and crab steering can be used in confined areas when repositioning the machine is required.

A boom suspension system has been integrated to allow more comfort in uneven terrain and integrated pressure-release quick couplers have been mounted on the boom head to make changing hydraulic attachments faster and easier.

Other improvements to the V619
TTC include a redesigned asymmet-
ric operator cab with rounded rear
window for 360° visibility. A fully elec-
tronic dashboard displays machine
performance and an easy-to-read
display shows operating parameters
including engine hours, job hours,
vehicle and engine speed, boom
angle, speed management as well
as auxiliary hydraulics. A new single
joystick provides control of all the
hydraulic operations.
