Bobcat claims its machines can handle any winter snow clearing job
From removing light snow from pavements and driveways, to shifting heavy or packed piles of snow and ice, 1130 Bobcat claims they have tools for any winter job.

Different hydraulic motor packages now come with the company’s snow blower models, which offer widths varying from 1,220mm to 2,134mm. With throw distances from 7.6m to 13.7m, the models have a rotating chute and deflector to point the snow in the preferred direction.

The Bobcat snow blade, which comes in six widths from 1,219mm to 2,438mm, is designed to swiftly remove light or moderate snow from pavements and drives.  An optional end wing kit converts the 2,134 and 2,743mm models into snow pushers, ideal for use in car parks and similar large sites.

The versatile Bobcat snow V-blade can be used as a V-blade, scoop blade, straight blade, or a 30° left or right angle blade.

Offering widths from 1,371 to 2,540mm and capacities from 0.36 to 1.53m³, Bobcat’s large buckets have high backs to help with pushing snow and straight sides to penetrate snow piles. For removing snowfalls of 100mm or less in depth, the Bobcat angle broom attachment can be used on pathways.
The hydraulic salt and sand spreader is built to work in confined spaces, such as car parks and pedestrian walkways, where larger equipment cannot be used.  The attachment has a hopper capacity of 250 litres, which can be used as a bucket to allow the spreader to be filled from a pile.

Its spread pattern ranges from 5.6m to 8.7m.

The Bobcat scraper attachment provides an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of chemicals or salt for shifting packed snow or ice.
