The Bobcat line of compact tract loaders feature a redesigned all-steel roller suspension system option that attempts to minimize vibration at the ground level for a smoother ride. The system’s high-strength-steel leaf springs reduce vibration and roll over obstacles easily. This roller suspension system does not require any greasing or adjusting as the rollers are permanently sealed and lubricated with synthetic oil. Bobcat; 866-823-7898; www.bobcat.com.
Excavator: Small Footprint
The XL 5100 III Excavator is a 55,000-lb truck-integrated excavator that uses one 275-hp diesel engine to power both the excavator and truck carrier, conserving fuel compared to similar two-engine designs. The small footprint of the carrier allows for greater maneuverability onsite and enables it to travel on highways without an over-wide permit. The excavator features a bucket breakout force of 24,900 lb and a boom crowd force of 24,500 lb. Gradall Industries Inc.; 330-339-2211; www.gradall.com
