Do More With the Bobcat® S450 Skid Steer Loader

The Bobcat® S450 Skid-Steer Loader is a compact powerhouse designed for efficiency and versatility. It has a rated operating capacity of 654 kg and is ideal for demanding tasks such as grading, loading, excavating, digging, lifting, backfilling, demolition, and much more. The deceptively petite size, wide range of attachments, high capability, and unique features make this skid steer stand out.

Responsive and Powerful

Streamlined and maneuverable, the S450 is built to perform in tight spaces. Its narrow width and short overall length, along with its impressive turning radius of 1940.60 mm with the standard bucket, make it the ideal equipment to handle big jobs in small areas.

Its 2.4L, 4-cylinder Bobcat®-developed Stage V engine is nothing short of remarkable. It’s capable of a 37% increase in torque for better performance under load. This allows it to operate at lower RPMs, reducing fuel consumption and noise levels, which is beneficial for both operational costs and operator comfort. On top of that is its enhanced recovery ability from overload conditions, maintaining productivity even in demanding tasks under time pressure.

High Performing with An Impressive Lift Capacity

The S450 boasts an efficient radius lift path that offers a greater maximum reach of 2.8 m at mid-range heights. The design itself is a single-plane type, minimizing side-to-side movement and reducing stress on the pins. This means assured longevity, less tear, and more reliable performance.

The skid steer’s design ensures balanced weight distribution (70% rear, 30% front) when unloaded, promoting easy turning, even more reduced fuel consumption, and minimal wear on the drive train and tires. When the terrain is extremely challenging, the hydraulic bucket positioning option keeps the load level to avoid spillage.

Upkeep for the S450 is made easy with a side engine access for checks, filters, and battery without needing to raise the lift arms. This simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime.

Truly Multi-functional

Adaptability is a non-issue with the S450. It can tackle a multitude of tasks across various industries through a myriad of attachments ranging from buckets, augers, backhoes, and forks to grapples, brooms, tillers, and rakes. It’s an invaluable asset, saving time and operational costs by canceling the need for multiple machines.

Easy to Control and Operate

The Bobcat® S450 comes standard with advanced communication, monitoring, and control features, including a sharp LCD screen, intuitive interface, and keyless start with password protection. It also has selectable joystick controls (SJC) that provide customizable control options. With this, operators can switch control styles with ease for improved overall handling and precision.

Its automatic ride control feature enhances material retention and operator comfort by providing a smoother ride over rough terrain. Plus, its pressurized cab design minimizes dust intrusion, maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for the operator, with temperature control features for all-weather comfort.
