Bobcat S550H high flow skid-steer loader
The latest Bobcat S550H high flow skid-ster loader is ideal for surface pavement repair work, according to one user in northern England.

Hemswell Surfacing, near Gainsborough in the county of Lincolnshire, recently purchased a new generation 1130 Bobcat S550H high flow together with Bobcat sweeper and bucket attachments from AMS Bobcat, the local authorised Bobcat dealer. The machine has controls that allow for precise movements even in the tightest of spaces, said Alan Jennison, head of Hemswell Surfacing. “Because of its compact size, it is also easier to fit on low-loaders with our other equipment for lower costs and ease of transport,” he said.

“Bobcat loaders and attachments form a high-performance road and pavement surface repair package, ideal for repairing not only potholes, surface cracks and ice damage, but also for milling surfaces and for work around manholes.”

Like all Bobcat compact loaders, the S550H loader is equipped with the quick-change Bob-Tach attachment mounting system. These allow it to be combined quickly and safely with over 70 families of Bobcat attachments, delivering versatility and time-saving efficiency across a huge range of different applications.

“With its ability to turn around in its own length and fast cycle times, the S550H loader offers us the manoeuvrability and flexibility we need in the sometimes tight spaces available on site, working alongside our bigger machines such as pavers and rollers on surfacing projects,” said Jennison.

“The new S550H loader is an excellent all-purpose vehicle for general material handling such as loading and placing materials while hand-laying macadams. Combined with the powerful brush attachment, it is also an efficient clean-up tool.”  

Hemswell Surfacing works on behalf of public sector organisations as well as private and commercial customers. Projects covered include preparation, drainage and surfacing on roads, footpaths, repairing potholes, tennis courts and other sports surfaces, playgrounds, forecourts, driveways, car parks, caravan sites and estate roads.
