Bobcat Company has taken innovation to the next level with the introduction of two, new concept machines unveiled during the first day of CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023. Following the 2022 release of the Bobcat T7X, the world's first all-electric compact track loader, the Bobcat S7X. Bobcat has also stepped beyond industry expectations with the unveiling of its new concept track loader, the Bobcat RogueX.

This next-generation concept machine explores the capabilities of electric power, autonomous operation and dual lift-arm geometry. Like the T7X, the S7X is all electric, as it is powered by a 60.5-kWh, lithium-ion battery, features electric drive motors and utilizes ball screw actuators for lift and tilt functions. Together, the battery and electrical powertrain generate incredible performance characteristics, with instantaneous torque that is as much as three times greater than traditional loaders.

The powerful loader balances sustainability and performance with zero emissions and is equipped to outperform its diesel-powered equivalent. This skid-steer loader offers operators a smooth and comfortable experience with minimal vibration and nearlysilent operation. The S7X can operate for up to 8 hours on a single charge depending on the application, giving most operators more than a full day's work when breaks and downtime are considered.

A full charge takes approximately 10 hours. To bring the S7X to life, Bobcat has once again partnered with Moog Inc., a worldwide developer of motion control components and systems for industries ranging from aerospace and defense to construction. Bobcat is also continuing to partner with Viridi (creator of Green Machine products) for its lithium-ion, fail-safe battery systems that are redefining energy storage for industrial applications traditionally powered by fossil fuel energy.

Bobcat also collaborated with Moog and Viridi through its work on the T7X.
