A Bobcat T76 compact track loader played a vital role in the preparation and ongoing maintenance of the course for the the sixth round of the 2024 Motocross World Championship held on 11th and 12th May 2024 at the Jorge Prado Municipal Circuit in the city of Lugo in Spain.
Lovers of motocross were able to enjoy the best riders in the world in action on this spectacular circuit, with a unique layout, located in the middle of an area of great scenic beauty.
The Jorge Prado Municipal Circuit typically has a length of 1700 m and a width of between 8 and 10 m throughout the entire route, with a variety of jumps, a double lane area, downhill jumps and straight line areas with waves. The Bobcat T76 loader worked on every curve and ramp, adapting the terrain for the tough test ahead, according to Miguel Ángel Vázquez, President of the Lugo Motopark Club.
Compaction without ruts and agility on the track
The Bobcat T76 compact track loader was chosen as the ideal model to carry out the preparation and maintenance tasks on the circuit together with another machine for flatter sections.
The T76 compact track loader offers the required operating weight needed to ensure sufficient compaction of the track, as well as providing the agility needed to redistribute the surface material loosened by the passage of the motorbikes, placing it again in the most difficult points in the layout.
For this demanding task, Bobcat dealer, Talleres Turquino, provided completely new equipment from its rental equipment fleet for the event. Rubén Lorente, the manager at Talleres Turquino, also adds that they decided to add counterweights to enhance the compaction capacity of the rubber tracks on the T76.
Carrying out hard work on any type of terrain
The T76 compact track loader meets the demands of the toughest jobs on any type of terrain. The loader´s low ground pressure track system provides the ability to work on soft, sandy, wet or muddy surfaces. The longer wheelbase and tracks on this model also ensure smoother driving and greater comfort for the operator.
Stability and productivity are controlled with the automatic stability control feature, thereby reducing material spillage and also increasing comfort by offering smoother handling.
This loader highlights the power offered by the efficient hydraulic circuits and starting forces, the speed of the cycles and the emphasis on operator comfort with ergonomic controls, a very spacious cab and the possibility of equipping the T76 with a wide range of original Bobcat attachments.
This model features an in-line motor and direct drive system, as well as cast steel lift arms and optimized lift arm linkage to increase height and lifting capacity allowing ideal loading of materials into trucks or containers.
The T76 offers, in addition to great power, many features to complete the most complex jobs with less effort and in less time. All this combined with stability, reliability, durability and first-class comfort. This is based around a one-piece Deluxe cab, completely enclosed, with heating and air conditioning, a 5-inch Deluxe screen and LED lighting system, along with ergonomic controls that allow easy control of the loader.
