Almanor Dock Bobcat Toolcat 5600 4×4

Lake Almanor is a large artificial lake in northeastern California. Lake-front homes dot the shoreline of this beautiful lake, and most of these homes have docks.  The life of a dock on Lake Almanor is a pretty rough one. Snowfall and ice in the winter.  Afternoon thunderstorms in the summer.  And a lake level that fluctuates throughout the year take their toll on the docks. But this gives an opening to the services of a few businesses around the area.

One of the biggest is Almanor Dock Supply.  They not only build custom docks, but they install and maintain them as well. Putting a dock in and out of the water each year, or launching a new dock is a unique task. Individual pieces of a dock may be pretty strong, but put them together as one unit and try to move them and a lot of stress is applied to the joints.

The folks at Almanor Dock Supply have it all figured out, and a versatile UTV is a big part of that package.

Bobcat Toolcat:

The Bobcat Toolcat is designed to have all the best features of a utility loader, pickup truck and attachment carrier. It will not only take you and a co-worker to the jobsite, it will also complete the job like no other machine can.

Bob-Tach™ Attachments

You can replace a bucket with a landscape rake, auger, grapple, snow blower and dozens more Bobcat® attachments quickly and easily with the Bob-Tach™ mounting system. Bobcat Company invented this system over 35 years ago, and it comes standard on all Bobcat loaders. Simply line up with the attachment, lock the levers and go.

Front-Wheel Steering & All-Wheel Steering

With a turning diameter of 17.5′, the Toolcat 5600 can maneuver well in tight spaces.

Hydrostatic Traction Control

Utilizing limitedslip differentials in both the front and therear, the Toolcat HTC system automatically manages the torque split between the high-tractionand low-traction tires. If one wheelloses tractive effort, HTC ensures the wheelwith the most traction will maintain enoughtorque to move the machine through thetough terrain—without the need to engageany locks, buttons or levers. Not only does HydrostaticTraction Control optimize tractiveeffort, it also provides the confidence to maneuver on turf. Traditional off-road,full-time four-wheel drive systems utilizelocking differentials which cause “binding” when turning. This negativefeedback increases turfdamage. HTC eliminates thisfour-wheel drive characteristicfrom the Toolcat drive train, minimizing turftear out when working on grass. Togetherwith front and rear tractive effort andall-wheel steering, the Toolcat drive trainprovides the perfect balance of excellent traction, smooth turning, minimized tirewear and outstanding turf protection.full-time four-wheel drive systems utilizelocking differentials which cause “binding”when turning.
