Automatic Ride control is the industry term used for cushioning the loader lift circuit, helping smooth the ride. The cushioning is accomplished by adding an accumulator to the loader lift circuit.

The Bobcat Automatic Ride Control kit offers many benefits:

• Reduces bounce when operating on uneven ground conditions
• Minimises bucket spillage and improves material handling
• Reduces operator fatigue

Designed by Bobcat and for your Bobcat equipment, the kits will fit your machine perfectly, offering an integrated solution.

How does it work?

With the lift arms slightly raised off, the boom stops, and the accumulator absorbs the lift circuit oil depending on the surface condition (similar to a shock absorber in vehicles). The effect is to cushion the ride (take out the bounce) on uneven ground.

Bobcat Automatic Ride Control is not speed dependent and can be manually switched ON and OFF, adapting to the operator’s needs.
