Bobcat S450 Skid Steer Loader
The Bobcat® S450 is our most comfortable and versatile skid-steer loader – the perfect machine for all your loading, carrying and cleaning jobs. And with Bobcat attachments, you can also demolish, grapple, grade, and a lot more. It has maximum reach at mid-range heights, so it’s great for dumping over a wall or unloading flatbed trucks. The compact size of the S450 lets you handle big jobs in small spaces and makes it easy to transport from job to job.

Performance:
The new Bobcat engine provides 37% more torque and fast recovery from overload compared to previous machines, ensuring increased comfort and headroom for the operator and the ability to work with the same power at lower RPM, at lower noise levels and with lower fuel consumption for comparable jobs.
When not carrying a load, your Bobcat skid-steer loader has a weight distribution of 70% in the rear and 30% in the front. This is the optimum weight distribution, giving you balanced, easy turning and skidding for ideal performance. What’s more, it minimises fuel consumption and power requirements, while maximising drive train and tyre life, leading to less wear and tear compared to “flat-footed” machines sold by some other manufacturers.
To complete the compact package, serviceability features and uptime protection are on a level also seen on larger models. The S450 uses the same large range of attachments as used on our other models to bring you the most comfortable compact loader for any application. The comprehensive options list allows you to configure your machine with different operator controls and 2 speed functionalities for added comfort and productivity.
The forward positioning of the cab gives the operator clear visibility to the working area and attachment, and this is further enhanced thanks to the large door opening and a low boom front cross-member. The low cab side windows, low boom pivot point and large rear window all add up to great all-round visibility – a real plus on a compact machine of this size.
The M-Series Deluxe Instrumentation Panel now comes as standard and brings the latest advances in communication, monitoring, productivity and control to your Bobcat skid-steer loader or compact track loader. It monitors key loader functions, communicates alerts, DPF management and provides additional attachment information to track usage. Using the ultra-sharp LCD screen and intuitive interface, you will be able to access data and helpful notifications to keep your loader operating at peak capacity with maximum uptime. Extra feature which comes as standard with Deluxe panel is the Password-Protected Keyless Start which allows setting up multi operator specific codes to monitor machine usage and avoid loss of keys with downtime.
Strength:
Bobcat loaders will meet your high expectations for performance, every time you use them. The design, balance and weight distribution have been perfected to deliver more usable horsepower, powerful breakout forces and faster cycle times. With a Bobcat loader you can work quicker, lift more and outperform your competition.
The tailgate is designed with a short vertical height with stiffening pocket to provide strength but a slim fit. This design allows the use of a tailgate protector integrated into the machines mainframe while keeping compact dimensions. Refuelling of the loader can be made in a transport position because the tailgate door opens on the same side as the protected fuel fill.
With two lift path options, Bobcat skid-steer loaders have you covered. Vertical lift path machines provide more reach at full lift height, while radius lift path models offer maximum reach at truck bed height. The durable and patented single-plane design reduces side-to-side lift arm movement and minimizes load on the pins.
Service of the drive train is kept to a minimum with drive belt tension managed by an automatic (torsion spring) tensioner and the drive chains not requiring any periodic adjustment. Flange protected axle seals and a fully welded chain case and axle tube assembly complete the durable drivetrain.
Comfort:
The S450 offers class leading comfort and visibility to allow for greater control and accuracy in tight working spaces. Additionally, and uniquely for a Skid Steer in this class size, a fully pressurised cab with air-conditioning option available.
The cab comes straight from our larger loader range and has been cleverly designed to maintain a compact size but bring large machine operator control and comfort – the more comfortable an operator is, the more productive they will be. The cab interior area has been designed to provide more space around the operator. The cab side windows are on the outside of the cab also making them easy to clean.
The cab has best-in-class cab pressurisation, and uniquely on this size of loader, an air-conditioning option. With a one-piece seal that goes all the way around the door, pressurisation minimizes the dirt and dust that might enter the cab. The high-performance heated cab option guarantees a warm environment for cold and wet working days and the controls are fully illuminated so the temperature settings can be chosen in low light conditions.
