BOBCAT has launched a new video demonstrating how to set up and use its new remote-control system.

In the video, a Bobcat T450 compact track loader and an S100 skid-steer loader are shown working with grapple, pallet fork and combination bucket attachments. Other attachments which can be used include the vibratory roller, soil conditioner, auger, trencher, landplane, 2D/3D laser grader and dozer blade.

“After comprehensive testing and licensing of the new remote-control system, Bobcat is the first company to provide an attachment product of this type as original ‘Plug & Play’ equipment, rather than offering it as an add-on development from a third party,” explained Alastair Jones, Bobcat Attachments district manager (UK, Ireland and Nordics & Baltics).

“The remote-control system can be used in many applications with the focus on limitless visibility, the ability to communicate with the surroundings without the need to be present in the cab, comfort enhancement for applications with noise, vibration and harshness or even in dangerous areas.”

He added: “Complementing the applications described above, remote-control solutions have proved their qualities and abilities to save lives in the toughest environments all around the world by providing service during disasters like floods, forest fires, mud or rock slides and in other places where operators can be subjected to dangerous situations.”
