Compact loader pioneers
The make that made the skid-steer
Bobcat is the fourth of the four makes we've historically specialised in, alongside JCB, Volvo and Kubota. It's the company that made the skid-steer loader famous - so famous the machine is often just called "a Bobcat" - and today its skid-steer and tracked loaders and E-series mini excavators are staples of British hire yards and tight urban sites.
The E19 pictured is typical of the Bobcat work we see: a compact cab, a lot of glass for its size, and every pane close to the action. Skid-steer cabs sit low with glazing all round for visibility, which means door and side glass picks up damage from buckets, forks and debris more than most machines.
Most Bobcat panes are flat toughened glass, so our mobile unit cuts them to size on site for an exact fit - usually in one visit. Laminated and reinforced glass is on the van where the pane calls for it, and everything is fitted to health & safety requirements and manufacturer recommendations.

Bobcat questions
Asked about Bobcat glazing
Can you reglaze the front door of a Bobcat loader?
Where the door panel is glass, yes - we cut and fit it on site. Some loader doors carry other materials, so tell us the model when you call and we'll confirm before we set off.
How quickly can a Bobcat mini excavator be back at work?
Flat panes are usually cut from sheet stock and fitted in a single visit, so downtime is often measured in hours rather than days. Shaped screens we order through our supplier network first.
Do you carry glass for older Bobcat machines?
Age is rarely a problem - most panes are cut to the frame rather than pulled from a shelf, so an older cab is templated and glazed just like a new one.
