The Meet & Greet
Contractors Day was attended by Kanoo Machinery senior management, which was a
networking and business opportunity mostly targeted for key decision makers,
GMs and plant managers from major construction companies in the UAE where a demand
for a versatile machine that can be put to diverse uses at different job sites in
the region is tremendous.
Overall, the
event saw Kanoo Machinery’s 6-8 major contracting business customers in each
branches get acquainted with the newly launched Bobcat range and models. The
new B700+ range is Bobcat’s first attempt in the backhoe loader category and
the first to be revealed in the Middle East.
Bobcat’s backhoe
loader range comprises of four models, the B700, B730, B750 and B780 with

all models share the same 4.4-litre, maximum torque of 408 Nm at 1350 rpm, and direct
fuel injection engine producing 74.5 kW (100hp) at 2200 rpm, their
transmissions vary from model to model, with a choice of four-speed
synchroshuttle, powershift or auto powershift.
Added distinguishing
features include the hydraulic controls and the bucket cylinders, with the B700
featuring a single loader cylinder while the others sport double loaders. Among
other options include cab-over or fully enclosed cabins.
The customers mostly
passed positive reviews and feedbacks to the new products especially in terms
of comfort to the operators – a spacious operator’s cabin; easy service
accessibility – a large engine hood; and an advanced control valve assembly.
