Product Test: The Dig Gets His Claws into a Bobcat CWL

Published on: 3 February 2025

CONSTRUCTION PLANT NEWS: With the festive season over he’s itching to get back to work. Some say he thinks that lunch is for wimps, others that he enjoys nothing more than a sandwich in the cab. All we know is that we call him The Dig. This month he gets his claws into a Bobcat CWL.

 

Compact wheeled loaders (CWL) may be relatively small in stature, but they are definitely big business from a manufacturer’s and end user’s perspective. For those of you interested in such things, the demand, according to industry research, in the compact wheeled loader market is anticipated to top US$ 6.64bn, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3% up to 2029.

Europe has long been the most lucrative market for these extremely versatile machines/tool carriers, accounting for nearly 43.7% of the global demand up to 2022 andthis growth is expected to continue in the coming years.

Bobcat is one manufacturer who is keen to expand its market share in this sector. To date it has launched the L85 model in ‘advanced’ configuration, tipping the scales at 5.1-tonnes and fitted with a 68hp diesel engine; it was the company’s first designed and built CWL. Then it added the L75 ‘value’ model weighing in at a modest 4.6-tonnes and powered by 55hp diesel engine, with both models sporting a standard bucket capacity of 0.8 m3.
