In the spotlight: new small Bobcat articulated loaders

In industry, utilities, agriculture and horticulture as well as demolition, earthworks or construction, compact loaders are proving their worth. Ever since 1977, Vangaever has been "the place to be" for any professional looking for compact wheel loaders, track loaders, excavators and telehandlers. And since this year, the company - with branches in Waregem, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw and Lummen - also offers the new categories of small articulated loaders.

In 1977, Vangaever acquired the dealership for the then unknown Bobcat. Today, this brand is an established name in the compact equipment market. The new Bobcat small articulated loaders (SAL) are an interesting addition to the Bobcat family. Existing and new customers can discover many interesting assets, where the traditional Bobcat characteristics - high performance in a compact size - are complemented by minimal ground disturbance and increased lifting capacity. In other words: SALs are versatile, safe and compact loaders that you can use for a variety of applications and that you can also transport very easily by trailer.

The versatility of small articulated loaders

Small articulated loaders can handle a multitude of big challenges in small spaces. From material handling to site maintenance, this small machine gives you a reliable and multi-purpose loader. With a very small turning radius, lawn-safe mode, impressive lifting capacity and compact size, a small articulated loader is an indispensable work force within fenced landscapes, paddocks, nurseries and other working environments. We list its key strengths.

Impressive lifting capacity and minimal soil disturbance

Bobcat small articulated loaders offer impressive lifting capacity to improve productivity in tight work areas. They include a standard integrated counterweight for optimal lifting capacity. The L28's extendable boom makes placing loads easy, with optimum visibility around the cab as well. In addition, these loaders guarantee minimal ground disturbance via their articulated joint. As a result, when turning, the rear tires follow the path of the front tires. Wheel slippage is also reduced by a sod-safe mode. This makes this machine ideal for (green) projects where space is tight and longer soil contact is needed.

Easy operation in comfortable conditions

The specially designed cab of the Bobcat small articulated loader provides the operator with all the necessary comfort and makes getting in and out of the truck very easy. With an enclosed cab and heated seat, working in cold temperatures is no problem. In summer, cross-ventilation windows provide the necessary cooling. The controls are intuitively designed for all types of drivers.

Telescopic lifting arm, powerful motor and efficient cooling

The L28 not only has an impressive lifting capacity, but also a telescopic arm that significantly increases lift height and reach. Thanks to an innovative two-cylinder design, the load remains horizontal when you move the bucket and material high. This provides added safety for operators and other workers. Mounted inside the Bobcat small articulated loader is a reliable high-torque engine that is also Stage Y certified. And with an efficient cooling system, you are always guaranteed excellent operation and protection of the (engine) parts.

Custom expandable with additional accessories

Want to customize a Bobcat small articulated loader for yourself and/or your employees? You can! A wide choice of Bobcat attachments allows you to convert your machine to a new task in just a few minutes.
