Bobcat's 5600 and 5610 Toolcat Utility Work Vehicles are powered by Tier 4-compliant engines that do not require diesel-particulate filters. The machines feature ultra-low particulate combustion engines, which can meet Tier 4 regulations without the need for a DPF component. Both machines feature integrated traction-control systems allowing for greater mobility on poor ground conditions.

The QuikShield Suspended Access System consists of steel decking frames and plywood and can be assembled at a rate of 600 sq ft per worker per day. The surface of the access platform is stable enough to handle ladders and small equipment. The platform does not have to be horizontal, allowing QuikShield to be used for access on curved surfaces, such as bridge arches.
