S450 Skid-Steer Loader

S450 Skid-Steer Loader

The Bobcat S450’s width makes it a great performer for its size - and the tight turning radius lets you handle big jobs in small areas. The S450 is now equipped with specially developed Stage V compliant Bobcat engine with higher torque and features a radius lift path for greater maximum reach at mid-range heights, like dumping over a wall, backfilling or unloading flatbed trucks.
