Bobcat Unleashes Its Most Powerful Small Loader Yet

Bobcat has introduced its “most powerful small articulated loader,” the L35—compact enough for tight spaces, yet strong enough to handle heavy lifting.

The L35 has a 57-horsepower engine and a maximum lift capacity of 939 kg. At just 54 inches wide, it fits into tight spaces. Its extendable arm reaches nearly 10 feet and keeps loads steady. 

With easy steering and a comfortable cab with heat, air, storage, and USB ports, it’s built for tough jobs.

“The L35 was meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional performance and an unparalleled operator experience,” said Katie Redenius, senior product manager at Bobcat. She added, “This machine strikes the perfect balance, offering heavy-lifting performance with a light footprint, all while prioritising operator comfort with a cab built for long days on the job.”

The loader works with more than 60 Bobcat attachments, and optional high-flow hydraulics let it handle tougher tools. Its Power Bob-Tach system lets operators change non-hydraulic attachments without leaving the cab.

The L35 can handle a variety of jobs, from digging and carrying materials to snow clearing and sweeping.

The L35 is the largest in Bobcat’s small articulated loader range, outperforming the previous model, the L28, with more than double the horsepower, faster travel, and 538 pounds more lifting capacity. 

Weighing 6,102 pounds, it can travel in two speeds, and its lift arm can extend more than nine feet for dumping materials. Optional features include automatic ride control, traction assist, flashing beacon, road lights with turn signals, rear defrost, and a sliding side window.

The L35 will reach North American dealerships in November 2025. At Equip Expo in Louisville, Bobcat officials highlighted its performance and user-friendly design.
