BOBCAT’S NEW COMPACT TRACK LOADER SUSPENSION SYSTEM
Bobcat Company has developed a new compact track loader suspension system utilizing all-steel components to increase operator comfort without sacrificing durability. The new roller suspension system is available as an option on the Bobcat T320 compact track loader and will be added to other Bobcat compact track loader models.
One way the Bobcat roller suspension system provides greater operator comfort is by minimizing vibration at the ground. The rollers are suspended by high-strength, steel leaf springs to reduce vibration. Another way Bobcat has increased operator comfort is by requiring less steering lever effort to turn the loader. The track idlers on the Bobcat roller suspension system have been raised, making the compact track loader easier to turn.
In addition to improving operator comfort, easier maintenance is built into the roller suspension system. The area around the drive sprocket has been increased to allow improved cleaning. The design of the undercarriage frame enhances debris shedding when working in muddy conditions. This prevents material from clogging the rollers and keeps the loader running. Clean-out holes have been added to the enclosed undercarriage to allow access for pressure washers.
The Bobcat roller suspension system does not require greasing or adjusting. The rollers are permanently sealed and lubricated with synthetic oil, eliminating the need for regular maintenance to this part of the system.
