The new S630 radius lift path loader is said to combine excellent manoeuvrability in tight areas with the reach and visibility needed for applications such as dumping materials over walls, backfilling or loading flatbed trucks. The S630 has a rated operating capacity of 1,012kg and a tipping load of 2,023kg. The S650 model features vertical lift path boom arms suited to lift and carry as well as material handling applications. The S650 has a rated operating capacity of 1,227kg and a tipping load of 2,455kg. Both models offer versatility through compatibility with a very wide range of Bobcat attachments.

Both the S630 and S650 are powered by the Bobcat D24 engine, featuring a Bosch fuel injection system. With the engine situated transversally in the S630/S650, these models have maintained their compact size, allowing the machines to operate and turn in the same small tight spaces. New engine technology is said to deliver lower fuel consumption for the same type of work. The first engine oil service interval has also been extended to 500h and improved fuel filtration means less frequent filter replacements. The S630/S650 are also equipped with ‘Versatile Duty Tyres’ as standard, which have a bi-directional design for most common mixed surfaces.

The base S630/S650 models are equipped with a new ‘Deluxe’ control panel offering a selection of most of the languages in Europe. Every machine is also equipped with Bobcat Telematics. The Deluxe panel reduces the risk of misuse, thanks to the keyless start function. Options such as ‘High Flow’ or ‘2-Speed’ can also be locked, if necessary, and protected by passwords. 

New after treatment technology (DPF) is designed to work automatically without any interaction during normal operation. If necessary, this technology can be easily managed from the menu in the Deluxe panel, which enables the operator to monitor the machine and exhaust after treatment. The new automatic multi step engine low idle sequence in cold conditions is said to further improve engine performance. 

On machines equipped with ‘Selectable Joystick Controls’ (SJC), the auto idle feature reduces the engine speed to low idle when the joysticks are in neutral position and have not been used for about five seconds. As well as the Deluxe Panel, Bobcat Telematics and Versatile Duty Tyres, the standard features on the S630/S650 include hand and foot controls, a deluxe cab with side windows and a suspension seat. Options include a cloth suspension seat; selectable joystick controls; a deluxe cab with heating or HVAC; heavy duty offset and severe duty tyres; high flow with attachment control; 2-Speed and ‘Power Bob-tach’. 

The standard warranty has been extended to two years (2,000h) with ‘Protection Plus’ providing up to five years of coverage.
