Bobcat plans to use CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 to present new compact equipment updates and a set of technology concepts centred on AI-assisted operation, connectivity and electrification. The company will exhibit March 3–7 in Las Vegas at booth W40745 (West Hall) and will hold a news conference on Tuesday, March 3 at 1:30 p.m. PT at its stand.
The display will combine live demos and hands-on stations focused on AI, electrification, autonomy and connectivity, with product specialists scheduled to run demonstrations across the week.
Machines highlighted ahead of the show
Bobcat’s pre-show list includes newly introduced models across portable power, compact loaders, excavators, wheel loaders and forklifts:
- PA460V portable air compressor: rated at 460–400 cfm and 100–150 psi, with FlexAir electronic inlet control, a digital display and an optional eco mode, as described by the company.
- MT120 mini track loader: Bobcat is positioning the unit for tight-access work, and says it can be equipped with Machine IQ telematics for fleet visibility and theft monitoring.
- E20 next-generation compact excavator: listed with zero tail swing and updated joystick controls.
- L95 compact wheel loader: presented as a multi-application loader with higher lift capability.
- D45S-9 diesel pneumatic tire forklift: included as part of the material-handling lineup refresh.
Tech and concept systems: what’s real now, what’s still a prototype
Bobcat is also using the event to push an operator-assist narrative, but several items are described as concept or platform technologies rather than confirmed production releases.
- Jobsite Companion: an embedded voice-driven assistant concept that Bobcat says can automate 50+ machine functions, adjust attachment settings, surface fault-code guidance and tie machine-hour data to job-cost tracking.
- AI: a dealer-facing diagnostics and service support tool pitched as a way to shorten troubleshooting and reduce downtime.
- Collision Warning and Avoidance System: described by Bobcat as a hazard-detection system that can slow or stop the machine, with details expected during demos.
- RogueX3: an all-electric, autonomous concept loader with modular configuration options (cab or no cab, wheels or tracks, lift-arm choices).
