Description of equipment and technical characteristics of Bobcat s530

Features of the mini loader of this model

Even in cases of the maximum intended load, this special vehicle feels confident when performing maneuvers on any surfaces of various types - thanks to the vertical three-point boom lifting mechanism, as well as the extended wheel-axle base. Therefore, such equipment can be successfully used for safe work inside courtyards, in warehouses with various configurations, as well as on interfloor floors.

To expand the functionality of the model, Bobcat provides a significant number of attachment options. For example, when changing certain types of attachments, a special machine can turn from a warehouse worker (for example, a stacker) into an agricultural worker (for example, a soil cultivator). And if equipped with brushes and blades for clearing snow, the loader can also find application in the municipal and road sector, for cleaning areas, even in winter or summer.

Features of operation and maintenance

Bobcat was the first to introduce the ability for the operator to control the operation of the loader from outside the cab. Now this has become the norm. The S530 can also be controlled in any of the following ways:

• manually using two levers located in the cab;
• through an automatic control system (SJC joystick, ACS system, AHC hand controller).

Service, technical and warranty maintenance of Bobket equipment is currently not a problematic matter.

The main rule is to work only with trusted suppliers who have official partnerships with the manufacturing company.

In this case, any ongoing repairs or supply of necessary spare parts, as well as warranty service, will take a minimum amount of time and material resources.

Bobcat S530 Skid Steer Engine

Mini loaders of this model are equipped with Kubota V2203-M-DI-E2B-BC-3 motors. This is a four-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. The ventilation system circuit is closed. The glow plugs fire automatically.

The cylinder capacity of this diesel engine is 2.19 liters. Maximum power is 34.4 kW / 46.22 hp at 2700 rpm. The highest torque of the Kubota V2203-M-DI-E2B-BC-3 engine is 150 N.m at 1425 rpm. The mini loader's fuel tank capacity is 93.7 liters of diesel fuel.

The Bobcat S530 mini loader's powertrain is mounted in three places, and this helps reduce the level of vibration load from it. The belt drive protects the engine from damage if the permissible load capacity is exceeded, and also transmits torque from the diesel engine to a hydraulic pump with a gain of 1.4.

Hydraulic system

The Bobcat S530 loader is a universal equipment, which, largely thanks to its new hydraulic system, has acquired all its strengths.

The hydraulic pump system was optimized for the special vehicle’s load capacity and cylinder size. As a result, this ensured the coordinated operation of the equipment and its compatibility with any type of additional working equipment.

The hydraulic system must ensure stable operation of the Bobcat S530 with any type of attachment. Therefore, it was optimized taking into account the load capacity and hydraulic cylinder diameter. This helps reduce equipment cycle times, and the Bob-Tach system guarantees quick replacement of any parts.

Skid steer cab

In order to create a comfortable working environment, which, as is known, is the key to effective operation of equipment, the company’s specialists equipped the Bobcat S530 loader with an updated cabin, which has an enlarged doorway and the equipment is thought out to the smallest detail.

In particular, at the operator’s workplace there is a modern ergonomic chair with an adjustment function and increased travel; There is a special compartment for storing small things, a stand for a glass, a 12-volt socket and other useful devices.

Optimal temperature conditions in the Bobcat S530 cabin are ensured and maintained thanks to the climate control heating and air conditioning system.

An easy-to-read full-color electronic display helps monitor the status of all components and functions of the special vehicle, as well as make operation easier and more comfortable.

Visibility in the updated cabin has been increased by thirty percent, and the manufacturer does not miss the opportunity to draw the attention of potential buyers to this fact.

In general, the width of the mini loader cabin has increased by four centimeters in width, and also increased in height. However, the special vehicle itself remained the same in height. There are orange emergency handles on the glass, which ensure safety in case of any damage to the equipment. The emergency exit also opens like an ordinary window - using a handle.

The size of the door has become almost twice as large, and its entire area is occupied by glazing. To make entering the cabin more comfortable, the step was moved to a different position. Now it began to be located above the cross beam of the boom.

The new cab ventilation system reduces the noise level in the operator's workplace while increasing the temperature control of the air flow. To prevent dust from entering the air systems and the cabin, excess pressure is built up. Therefore, when the door is opened, air does not get in, but tends out.

The standard operator's seat, installed as standard, is adjustable with Air-ride shock absorbers. Compared to the previous version, moving the chair back and forth has become more accessible. Cabin noise insulation has been increased by 60%, and the area has also become slightly larger. Also in the cabin there are several glove compartments for a variety of small and necessary things.

The wheels can be monitored through the side windows, and the bucket can be monitored through the front glass. The structure of the dashboard makes it possible not to be distracted from the main work process. To control movement, a joystick is used, or levers are used. They perform their functions with serious precision. Pedals are used to control the working body. To ensure work in the dark, there are halogen lamps.

There are several control systems that are used in this special vehicle: SJK, AHC, ACS. Each of them is adapted to work with a specific type of attachment. Thanks to them, the operator does not have to be in the cab. This allows you to limit risks to life and health when working in extreme situations.

Device Features

• Among the advantages of the Bobcat S530 mini loader, let us pay attention to its high performance, small dimensions, economical and environmentally friendly characteristics. Despite its positioning in the middle class, this device is designed for the heaviest work in limited areas.
• A three-point mechanism with a vertical direction is responsible for lifting the load. This allows for lifting operations on floors during the construction of large buildings.
• The technique retains its useful properties regardless of the degree of load, as it has great potential and endurance. The machine is undemanding in maintenance and repair, and no professional skills are required to operate the loader.

• A 2.2-liter turbocharged diesel engine with a four-stroke 4-cylinder layout is responsible for performance. Its power reaches 48 horsepower. The motor is made of durable and lightweight components, due to which it was possible to reduce the weight of the loader. This internal combustion engine is characterized by a long service life, low weight and a torque of 150 N/m. The design includes an electric starter and a closed ventilation system. Directly under the engine there is a fuel tank, which is placed in such a way that the machine does not have any distortions. Thanks to this arrangement, up to 70% of the load falls on the rear axle. This ensures high maneuverability and a small turning radius, as well as good stability. The power unit is secured to the frame using three clamps. Special fastenings made it possible to reduce vibrations. The belt drive is designed to protect the motor from damage or when the load capacity is exceeded.
• A new supporting structure, as one of the elements to achieve better geometric cross-country ability, as well as visibility and functionality.
• The visibility in the cabin has been improved by 30% compared to previous models. The cabin width has increased by 40 mm and has also become taller. Let's pay attention to the emergency orange handles located on the windows - they can be activated if the equipment is damaged. Opening an emergency exit is the same as opening a regular window. The entire door area is glazed to improve visibility. More comfortable access to the cabin is provided thanks to a step with an anti-slip coating. Overpressure is created in the cabin to prevent dust from entering the cabin. For example, when a door is opened, dust and dirty air that tends to get inside are pushed back outside. This is facilitated by an effective ventilation system. The cabin is completely soundproofed from external noise and vibrations. The driver's seat, equipped with Air-ride shock absorbers, can be adjusted in height, forward or backward.
• The Bobcat S530 mini loader is equipped with a hydraulic system that has a wide range of parameters and settings for ideal work with loads of varying weights and dimensions.

• The uniform load on the chassis is distributed in such a way as to reduce the load on all moving parts, working parts and chassis elements. In addition, this is facilitated by powerful tires with deep tread and grippy properties.
• Maintenance of the mini loader is carried out under the supervision of specialists. In practice, the machine is highly maintainable. For example, to inspect batteries and filters, simply open the engine compartment. By the way, its lid opens to the left, which is very convenient.
• The FOPS and ROPS protection systems allow you to quickly raise the cab and gain access to the hydraulic system and transmission. In general, maintenance is carried out once after 50 hours of operation - for the first time; and also once every 250 hours.

Reviews of Bobcat S530 mini loaders

Mini loaders of this model belong to the middle class of special equipment. They have many advantages, the main of which are called by operators: long service life, high performance, economical use, and small size.

The manufacturer has improved its stability on uneven surfaces by slightly lengthening the wheelbase compared to the previous model. This change also had a positive effect on the maneuverability of the mini-loader when working with loads.

To lift the boom, a three-point mechanism located in a vertical plane operates. This property allows you to lift loads onto floors during the construction of high-rise buildings.

The movement and manipulation of the boom is consistently smooth. When working with very heavy loads and in difficult conditions, this special equipment fully retains stability and all its basic operating properties. If necessary, replacing individual parts of this special vehicle - boom, hydraulic system, cabin - does not cause difficulties and occurs in a short time frame.

The simplicity of the design, combined with the specific location of the motor, has a positive effect on the speed of maintenance and repair. The engine is located in a transverse position, and directly below it is a fuel tank for diesel fuel. The motor is equidistant from the center of gravity in both directions, which does not create any distortion of the special vehicle.

You can carry out a technical inspection of the battery and main engine components, and replace filters without any problems - simply by opening the engine compartment lid of the Bobcat S530. The lid itself in this model began to open to the left. This makes it possible to fill the fuel tank with diesel fuel without any inconvenience when the lid is open.

The chains for connecting the axles with the hydraulic motor are located in an oil bath. They are located along the center of the special vehicle, which is why the bottom is keel-shaped. The axles are not replaceable, and the chains do not need to be tensioned during the entire period of operation.

FOPS and ROPS protective systems do not interfere with raising the cab when it becomes necessary to get close to the transmission and hydraulic system.

Description

Just a few years ago, in 2013, a new line of full-rotating compact loaders from the Bobcat Company 500 series was introduced.

The goal of such a step is obvious - to consolidate the leading position in the market of universal wheeled compact loaders. The S530 is designed to replace the popular but slightly outdated S175 model.

It should be noted that the S175 has become very widespread in Russia due to a set of characteristics that are perfectly suited to domestic conditions.

The S530 develops these trends, which is a precondition for not only ably replacing the previous model, but also achieving an even more dominant position in the market.
