For the company this is an immense achievement that has followed on very rapidly after the production of the 500,000th and 750,000th Bobcat loaders in 2001 and 2008, respectively.


S650 and T650 special edition millionth models

Martin Knoetgen, President of Doosan Construction Equipment EMEA, said: "It took Bobcat 43 years to produce the company's 500,000th compact loader, but it has taken just 11 years more for the company to add the second half million loaders.

"Producing our one millionth loader is a tremendous achievement and sends a message to our customers and our competitors that Bobcat has been No 1 in the market for over 50 years and that we plan to stay there for the next 50 years and more."

To celebrate the landmark, Bobcat is offering new Special Edition Millionth Loader machines, based around the company's successful S650 skid-steer and T650 compact loader models.  As well as special paint and decaling schemes, the Special Edition Loaders incorporate additional features that are not found on other Bobcat machines and are available in limited quantities from Bobcat Authorised Dealers throughout EMEA during 2014.  

Among the extra features on the Special Edition Loaders are Millionth Loader machine decaling; a black diamond plate on the lower rear uprights; cushion lift cylinders; a two tone air ride Millionth Loader Seat; a two-tone interior; a '1 Millionth Bobcat Loaders' logo on the start-up screen on the control panel and a new intermittent wiper system.
