Our Heritage
The Original Compact Loader Company
In 1958, Bobcat introduced the world's first skid steer loader in Gwinner, North Dakota. That single innovation created an entirely new equipment category and transformed how contractors approach site work. Today Bobcat manufactures skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini excavators, and telehandlers — each designed to do more with less.
With 5,500+ employees and manufacturing facilities on three continents, Bobcat serves contractors and operators in 100 countries through a dealer network of 1,000+ locations.
