Sunbelt Rentals Expands Fleet of All-Electric Bobcat T7X Compact Track Loaders
Sunbelt Rentals announced it has expanded its fleet of Bobcat T7X all-electric compact track loaders to support its customers’ carbon reduction efforts. The company delivered its first Bobcat T7X in October 2022 to Sacramento, Calif., and now has 106 of the compact track loaders available in the California market.
Sunbelt Rentals holds the largest fleet of Bobcat T7X and plans to continue expanding the availability of this equipment.
“Sunbelt Rentals recognizes that our customers need equipment that provides powerful, reliable performance and expanded applications,” said Brad Coverdale, vice president of fleet and procurement at Sunbelt Rentals. “The Bobcat T7X is an innovative piece of equipment that our customers can depend on to get the job done, while also reducing noise pollution and carbon emissions.”
Karen Beadle, senior vice president, sustainability at Sunbelt Rentals adds, “Investing in innovative equipment like the Bobcat T7X demonstrates our commitment to making sustainable alternatives accessible, empowering our customers to confidently pursue their own sustainability goals.”
The Bobcat T7X is the world’s first all-electric compact track loader and is powered by a 72.6 lithium-ion battery. This machine provides power that exceeds that of diesel-powered compact track loaders. Along with offering zero-operational emissions, the Bobcat T7X is nearly silent when operating, allowing contractors to use it for indoor or outdoor applications, any time of day. That includes urban areas with noise restrictions that can impact working hours.
The Bobcat T7X is among many types of all-electric equipment offered by Sunbelt Rentals as a part of its strategy toward increased sustainability. Other options include all-electric scissor lifts, compact excavators, battery energy storage systems and its on-road fleet of Ford F-150 Lightning trucks.
