Bobcat Company, a global manufacturer of compact equipment, has brought to market its largest and most powerful compact wheel loader yet — the Bobcat L95.

The L95 provides exceptional material-handling capabilities with large bucket capacity, high lift height, swift travel speeds and the maneuverability operators need to accomplish more, the manufacturer said.

The L95's compact size, tight turning radius and Power Bob-Tach interface enhance the machines' versatility, ensuring maximum performance and making it ideal for landscaping, nurseries, construction, agriculture, rental tasks and other applications. Bobcat will display the L95 and a broad array of other Bobcat equipment at the annual Equip Exposition trade show, Oct. 17 to 20, in Louisville, Ky. Look for Bobcat-tough compact equipment at booth 3052 indoors and 7506D and 7700D outdoors.

"The L95 offers the largest bucket capacity, the most horsepower and the most powerful transmission within the Bobcat lineup of compact wheel loaders," said Bobcat Marketing Manager Drew Kolo. "The L95 will join the L65 and L85 to offer customers a range of compact wheel loader sizes that are powerful, tough and highly productive."

Exceptional Performance

With a standard bucket capacity of 1.2 cu. yds. and 10.5 ft. of lift height, the L95 excels at material handling and other jobs that require high maneuverability. Its electronic hydrostatic transmission (E-HST) delivers easy direction changes, efficient acceleration and effortless speed control that helps operators tackle tough tasks on jobsites big and small. A powerful combination of the E-HST transmission and horsepower management automatically adjusts the loader's drive system to maximize pushing and loading power.

Standard features on the L95 include flex drive, automatic ride control, high-flow auxiliary hydraulics, advanced attachment control mode, and travel speeds reaching 24 mph.

The advanced Tier IV, turbocharged engine delivers high-torque performance and excellent efficiency, while achieving emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). Operators also will appreciate the engine's reliable, cold weather starting and a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.

Outstanding Comfort, Operability

Operators know that productivity and comfort are closely connected, and they've come to rely on Bobcat for an exceptional in-cab experience. With low noise levels in the cab, an oscillating frame, smooth turning and automatic ride control, the L95 provides an exceptional ride quality that enhances the operator experience. Available with a spacious, pressurized cab, the L95 builds upon the Bobcat tradition of operator-centered design with high visibility; excellent ergonomics; a heated, air-ride seat; efficient HVAC system; and an easy-to-read instrumentation panel.

Standard equipment on the L95 includes a seat-mounted joystick with adjustable armrest for added comfort and enhanced controllability and a 5-in. display panel that gives operators full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities. An optional rearview camera integrates with the touch display.

Attachment Versatility

Bobcat compact wheel loaders come standard with the Power Bob-Tach System. Buckets and pallet forks designed specifically for Bobcat compact wheel loaders are available. Due to the Bob-Tach mounting system, operators can share select attachments with other Bobcat equipment for even greater versatility. Compatible attachments include buckets, forks, angle brooms, snow pushers, grapples, snow blowers and augers.

The Bobcat L95 will be available to customers in North America in late 2023.
