THE first Bobcat branded portable power product to be seen at a UK industry event will be on display at the Executive Hire Show (EHS) in February.
The PA7.4 (7/45) compressor equipped with a generator option is part of a complete line of portable compressors, generators and light towers that now form part of the Bobcat range. The compressor-generator will appear alongside one of the models from the expanding range of electric compact excavators and loaders now available from the manufacturer.
Described as being designed with a focus on ‘simplicity, durability, reliability and transportability’, the PA7.4 (7/45) provides 4.0 m³/min (140 cfm) of compressed air at 7 bar nominal pressure. A range of options and customisations are available.
The integral 8.5 kVA generator is one of these options and meets a requirement in utility work to meet the demands of the latest fusion welding equipment, providing electrical power that can also be used for lights and tools together with compressed air for powering breakers and other pneumatic equipment.
Another area of expansion in the Bobcat range is in elecrtrically-powered compact equipment. This began in 2019 with the launch of the E10e, the world’s first one-tonne electric mini-excavator. Bobcat has since launched the larger E19e electric mini-excavator featuring the same profile, external dimensions and comparable performance as the E19. With a width of just 98cm, this model can operate in confined spaces.
At EHS, Bobcat will show either the E10e or E19e on the company’s stand. These products have been followed up with the development of other electric-powered compact products, including the company’s T7X and S7X electric compact track and skid-steer loaders.
