With innovations in electrification, autonomy and digital technology, Bobcat continues to offer customers more choices, improved performance and advanced technology to work smarter and accomplish more. At CONEXPO 2023, Bobcat will exhibit a number of its innovative digital features and technologies - some in concept form and others that are commercially available.

Collison Warning and Avoidance System

New in concept form is a collision warning and avoidance system designed to assist operators’ jobsite awareness. Compatible on select Bobcat compact track loaders and skid-steer loaders, the technology tracks objects’ position, direction and speed relative to the machine. Using either the active or passive setting, the operator can receive an audible alert or enable the machine to stop automatically upon detecting an object in its path. While still in product development, Bobcat expects this solution to be available to customers later in 2024.

Excavator featuring Bobcat Intelligent Control System

Bobcat is showcasing one of its latest technology concepts: Bobcat Intelligent Control System. Featured on an E60 excavator, the new intelligent controls enhance machine control and operation. With greater customization of work modes, operators can increase their performance and efficiency while grading, trenching, slewing and performing other precise operations. The new Drive by Joystick mode allows operators to use the joysticks to travel, similar to Selectable Joystick Controls on a Bobcat loader. Bobcat Intelligent Control System on compact excavators will continue to drive future innovations like advanced depth check features, remote operation via Bobcat MaxControl and autonomous functionality.

New Solutions for Advanced Display Technology

Bobcat is displaying the future of its advanced display technology with its transparent touch display. The concept heads-up display, which operators can see through to also view the jobsite, can be positioned on the front windshield or a cab side window on a range of Bobcat machines, including compact excavators, telehandlers and loaders. The display enhances operator productivity and efficiency to the task at hand.
