As the smallest model in the Bobcat skid steer loader product line, the S70 is designed for extremely narrow space operations. With a width of only 90 cm and the ability to turn in place, it is currently widely used in scenarios such as construction demolition waste removal and manure cleaning and feeding in livestock farms. However, the flexibility, strong passability, and reliable durability of the S70 are being recognized by an increasing number of forward-thinking and far-sighted business owners in various industries.
In the past, medium and large-sized skid steers like the Bobcat S16 and S550 were typically chosen for the cargo clearance operations of inland river ports. They were used to push and scoop river sand, grains and other materials in the holds of 3,000-ton to 5,000-ton vessels, achieving extremely high efficiency. However, for the numerous inland river transport ships with a tonnage of less than 2,000 tons, the current cargo clearance solutions fail to strike a balance between cost and efficiency. At this juncture, the spotlight on the cargo clearance "stage" has shifted to the Bobcat S70.
The Bobcat S70 weighs 1.2 tons and can be easily lifted into the hold by various port cranes without any safety risks. In the video, the sand grabber lifts the S70 into the hold as easily as carrying a toy car.
2. Just as a tower is built by piling up grains of sand, the river sand scattered in every nook and cranny of the ship's hold is precisely and meticulously gathered into piles by the S70, thanks to its own sliding characteristics.
3. The design of cargo ship holds needs to take into account high load-bearing capacity. The hull structure will have many curved surfaces, reinforcing ribs, etc., and this shape brings many difficulties to the hold cleaning operation. The S70's outstanding off-road capability makes it perform exceptionally well in complex working conditions.
When loading river sand onto ships, it is inevitable to bring in mud and water. The bottom of some compartments is mixed with mud and sand, which has very little adhesion. The S70 four-wheel drive skid steer loader, with a fully enclosed bottom structure of the ship, can handle this situation with ease.
The S70 skid steer from Bobcat is 1.9 meters long (excluding the bucket) and 90 centimeters wide. It can perform smooth in-place turns and easily reach the target position for operation in the cabin space following the operator's instructions without the need to adjust the body back and forth, thus saving time.
