Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about Bobcat Jobsite Companion? Find answers below or reach out to your nearest Carleton Equipment location.
What is Bobcat Jobsite Companion?
Bobcat Jobsite Companion is an AI-enabled in-cab operating experience designed to help the operator run their machine more efficiently, without stepping away from the controls. It helps optimize performance and delivers real-time job insights so operators can work faster.
Jobsite Companion brings together voice-activated commands, attachment-specific machine settings, built-in machine guidance and job cost insights in one experience. It's available on Bobcat Pro loaders on select packages. Jobsite Companion's features do not require a separate subscription, service fee, or ongoing usage cost beyond the initial machine or package purchase.
How does Jobsite Companion work and help operators work more efficiently?
Jobsite Companion works directly in the cab through voice-activated control. Operators press and hold a joystick button, say a command or question, and see and hear the system respond instantly on the display.
That allows operators to activate features, adjust settings, get machine information, and track job performance without stopping operation — fewer disruptions, more consistent focus and a more efficient way to stay engaged with both the machine and the task at hand.
Who is Jobsite Companion designed for?
Jobsite Companion is designed for both new and experienced operators, as well as contractors and business owners. It helps lower the barrier to entry for novice operators while helping experienced professionals work faster and more precisely.
Whether the goal is faster setup, less guesswork, easier operation, better machine insight or stronger job-cost visibility, Jobsite Companion is built to help a wide range of users work more efficiently throughout the day.
What can Jobsite Companion do?
Jobsite Companion supports machine control, attachment setup, troubleshooting and profitability tracking in one connected operating experience. On the jobsite, it can help operators:
- Manage 50+ machine functions while keeping hands on the controls — drive modes, ride control, bucket leveling, wipers, work lights, auxiliary controls and more
- Configure and remember machine settings for attachments
- Get built-in insights and guidance on machine questions and fault codes
- Track actual job costs against estimates for measuring efficiency and profitability
Does Jobsite Companion use voice control to manage machine functions?
Yes. Jobsite Companion uses voice-activated automation to help manage 50+ machine functions in the cab. By pressing a button on the joystick and speaking a command or question, the operator can see and hear actionable feedback through the display in real time.
Jobsite Companion listens only when the microphone is activated — allowing operators to adjust settings, activate features, and get machine information without stopping the work.
Can Jobsite Companion automatically adjust attachment settings?
Yes. Jobsite Companion can apply the optimal machine settings for the attachment being used and remember those settings for the next job. That helps operators get the performance and efficiency the machine and attachment are designed to deliver, without stopping to sort through settings manually.
Jobsite Companion simplifies that process, helping reduce setup time, remove guesswork, and set up attachments for consistent, reliable performance.
Can Jobsite Companion help with fault codes and machine operation questions?
Yes. Jobsite Companion gives operators access to a robust library of machine and service information right in the cab. It can provide actionable information on fault codes, troubleshooting steps and machine operation questions, helping operators better understand machine status and what to do next.
Instead of stopping work to search for answers elsewhere, operators can get clearer insight into the health and operation of the machine while staying in the cab.
How does Jobsite Companion support job cost tracking and profitability?
Jobsite Companion supports job cost tracking through the Job Cost Dashboard. After operators or owners enter estimated costs (such as labor rates, machine rates, attachment rates and fuel costs), the system tracks actual job activity against those inputs throughout the job.
That gives teams a clearer view of how the job is performing in real time, helping them spot overruns sooner, make adjustments faster, and improve job profitability over time.
Which Bobcat loaders include Jobsite Companion?
Jobsite Companion is available on the following Bobcat Pro loaders when equipped with the Advanced package (US only):
- Compact Track Loaders: T64-2, T66-2, T76-2, T86-2

Is Jobsite Companion available on Classic models?
No. Jobsite Companion is not available on Bobcat Classic loaders. It is available only on Bobcat Pro loaders equipped with the Advanced package in the United States.
Classic loaders focus on simplified package options and proven performance, while Pro loaders are designed for customers who want more advanced technology, comfort and control features.
What package includes Jobsite Companion?
Jobsite Companion is available with the Advanced package on eligible Bobcat Pro loaders in the United States. Eligible models include T64-2, T66-2, T76-2, T86-2, S64-2, S66-2, S76-2, and S86-2.
Does Jobsite Companion require an app or internet connection?
No. Jobsite Companion does not require an app or internet connection to operate. It is integrated directly into the machine display and runs locally on the machine — so operators can use its features in the cab without relying on a cloud connection or external service. The only time a connection is needed is for over-the-air updates.
Does Jobsite Companion replace the operator?
No. Jobsite Companion does not replace the operator. It is designed to make the machine easier to run, easier to learn and easier to optimize over time. The operator remains in control of the machine and the work, while Jobsite Companion supports the experience with smarter controls, optimized settings and clearer machine information in the cab.
What makes Jobsite Companion different from other operator assistance technology?
Jobsite Companion is the industry's first AI-enabled solution for compact construction equipment. It combines voice-activated machine functionality, attachment-specific machine settings, built-in machine knowledge and job cost insights in one in-cab experience.
Jobsite Companion helps operators across setup, operation, troubleshooting and job tracking — giving them a broader set of tools than a single-purpose assistance feature.
