Bobcat upgrade rotary grinder attachment range
New RG20, RG40 and RG60 models now available on Bobcat loaders and excavators
BOBCAT have introduced an improved range of rotary grinder attachments for the their compact loaders and excavators aimed at a wide range of applications in construction, roads, quarries, tunnelling, demolition and dredging. The three models in the range, the RG20, RG40 and RG60 grinders, provide a choice of cutting widths and are also suitable for use on the larger Bobcat loaders and excavators.
The RG20 grinder has a standard cutting width of 566mm and is approved for use on the Bobcat E32, E35, E45, E50, E55, E55W and E60 compact excavators. The RG40 grinder has a standard cutting width of 621mm and is approved for use on the Bobcat E80 excavator and the S570/H, S590/H, S630/H and S650/H skid-steer loaders, as well as the T590/H and T650/H compact tracked loaders.
The larger RG60 grinder cuts to a width of 707mm and can be used on the Bobcat S770/H and S850/H skid-steer loaders, the T770/H and T870/H compact tracked loaders, and the A770/H all-wheel steer loader.
Bobcat rotary grinders are powerful attachments that consist of a double drum, driven by a completely integrated high-torque hydraulic motor. Quieter in operation compared to equivalent hydraulic or pneumatic demolition tools, the attachments still grind powerfully in concrete, asphalt or rock. They also transmit relatively low vibration levels to surrounding structures and produce small diameter debris that can be reused.
The design of the new grinding attachments allows them to be used for applications, requiring precise removal of material without damaging adjacent structures, such as partial removal of walls or other structures. They are also indispensable where standard excavation systems are too weak and percussion systems have little effect, with the ability to dig trenches, for example, through hard and rocky round.
In addition, the grinder attachments can be used for less precise work such as demolishing walls and for preparing asphalt or concrete surfaces for repair.
The use of rotary grinders on Bobcat compact loaders or excavators requires the installation of a special applications kit on the machines, the same as that used for mounting Bobcat hydraulic breakers. The rotary grinder attachments can be mounted on Bobcat excavators with Pin-on, Klac or Lehnhoff systems. For Bobcat compact loaders, a Bob-Tach bolt-on frame is used.
