Caterpillar Skid Loader Vs BobCat Skid Steer at the GIE-Expo
What happens here
This step compares the design and protection of rear lights on both loader types. On the Bobcat T770, the lights are shown to be exposed and prone to popping out due to impact, requiring a flimsy, ineffective PVC guard as a temporary fix. This indicates a significant design flaw. In contrast, the CAT loader features flush-mounted, well-protected rear lights that are much more robust and do not suffer from the same vulnerability, eliminating the need for makeshift repairs.
Goal: Evaluate the durability and design of rear lights on skid steer loaders.
