Bobcat is set to unveil its new RogueX2 Autonomous Loader Concept at Intermat 2024, showcasing its vision for the future of the construction industry. The RogueX2, an all-electric and autonomous machine, boasts zero emissions, featuring a lithium-ion battery, electric drive system, and hydraulic-free lift and tilt kinematics. The absence of a cab addresses workforce shortages by eliminating the need for an operator, setting the stage for a revolutionary work experience.
Unlike its predecessor, the RogueX2 is equipped with wheels to optimize battery runtime and axial flux motors for exceptional tractive effort. This design delivers increased power output for tasks such as grading, digging, or heavy-duty attachments. Notably, both the RogueX and RogueX2 loaders have garnered numerous pending patents, signaling a departure from traditional design norms to redefine the work experience.
Additionally, Bobcat is set to introduce a new range of Rotary Telehandlers at Intermat, offering nine Stage V powered models for the European market and four Stage IIIA machines for the Middle East and Africa. Noteworthy features include Deutz and Volvo engine options, ensuring ease of maintenance and training. The line also showcases a patented panoramic cab, providing unparalleled visibility in the market.
Furthermore, Intermat attendees will witness the debut of Bobcat’s portable power products, with the unveiling of the PA12.7V Portable Air Compressor. Utilizing FlexAir technology, this variable pressure compressor operates within a range of 5.5 to 12.1 bar, offering free air deliveries from 5.2 to 7 m3/min. The versatility of the PA12.7V makes it suitable for a wide array of applications, from general construction to abrasive blasting and cable blowing.
