    L23 Key Features

    What Makes the L23 Different

    Articulated Steering & Tight Turning Radius

    The articulation joint enables rear tires to follow the exact path of the front tires, making the L23 exceptionally nimble in tight yards, enclosed spaces, and confined job sites where larger equipment can't maneuver.

    Auto Traction Modes

    High-Traction mode for control over rough and slippery terrain. Turf-Safe mode for minimal ground disturbance on finished surfaces. The machine switches automatically based on conditions — with an optional traction assist switch to override when needed.

    Heavy Lifting with Standard Counterweight

    The L23 delivers a 1,395-lb rated operating capacity straight and 1,159-lb rated operating capacity articulated, with a standard integrated counterweight for strong lift capability in a small footprint.

    Twin-Pedal Travel Controls

    One pedal forward, one pedal reverse — the intuitive twin-pedal design is fast to learn and easy to operate. A great fit for seasonal workers, rental customers, or operators running multiple machine types.

    24.8 HP Low-RPM, High-Torque Engine

    The 24.8-hp engine running at 2,600 rpm delivers generous torque at lower speeds, giving the L23 forgiving performance when pushing into a pile or carrying material under load.

    Power Bob-Tach System

    Change non-hydraulic attachments without leaving the cab using the optional Power Bob-Tach system. Compatible with 30+ Bobcat attachments for jobs ranging from snow removal and brushwork to digging and pallet handling.

    Easy to Transport

    At 3,790 lbs operating weight and 43.2 inches wide over the tires, the L23 is easy to trailer and easy to place on tight jobsites where larger loaders are hard to move.

    Machine IQ Telematics

    Monitor location, health, and security status 24/7 from the Owner Portal or Machine IQ mobile app. Remote engine disable/enable, geofence alerts, fault code notifications, and utilization reports keep you in control from anywhere.

    L23 Features & Benefits

    Performance 7
    Tight Turning Radius

    Small articulated loaders deliver precise maneuverability. The articulation joint enables the rear tires to match the path of the front tires as they turn, resulting in a highly nimble machine that navigates around obstacles with ease and works well in enclosed yards and small work zones.

    Minimal Ground Disturbance

    With their tight-turning articulated steering and light overall footprint, Bobcat® small articulated loaders limit cuts or tears in the turf when turning or hauling a load. After the job is complete, you'll have fewer time-consuming surface repairs to make.

    Heavy Lifting Capacity, Small Package

    Bobcat® small articulated loaders can lift and handle heavy loads, and they include a standard integrated counterweight for optimal lift capacity. You can add on optional rear counterweights to further increase lift capacity and productivity.

    Easy to Transport

    Small articulated loaders are highly transportable and relatively lightweight, enabling you to quickly get your machine to the job and get to work. They easily fit on pan trailers or dump trailers – and even some enclosed trailers that are used to transport small-frame skid-steer loaders.

    Low-rpm, High-Torque Engine

    The dependable 25-hp, 2600 rpm engine provides generous torque at a lower rpm, offering performance that is more forgiving when pushing the machine to its limit under load.

    Efficient Cooling

    With their efficient cooling systems, Bobcat small articulated loaders offer leading performance for improved operation and component protection.

    Side and front inlets bring cool air into the engine compartment and send it through the screened rear exit. The rear radiator screen is removable for easy cleanout, and its corrugated steel construction provides excellent durability. A separate temperature-controlled hydraulic oil cooler operates as needed to ensure quieter operation as well.

    High Tractive Effort

    Based on operating conditions, Bobcat® small articulated loaders automatically enable one of two traction modes — High-Traction mode for control over rough and slippery terrain or Turf-Safe mode for the least possible ground disturbance. The optional traction assist switch enables you to momentarily override the automatic modes to travel through adverse conditions.

    Uptime-Protection 2
    Cab Corner Protection

    To protect the machine when working in tight areas and around obstacles, Bobcat® small articulated loaders have cab corner protection. Rubber bumpers help protect the cab's corners while articulating the loader.

    Rear Guard

    Add additional protection — and worry less about potential impact damage to the cooling package and radiator — by installing the optional rear guard accessory.

    Comfort 5
    Intuitive Twin-Pedal Travel Controls

    A simple twin-pedal design on small articulated loaders enables quick and easy direction changes: one pedal moves you forward, the other moves you in reverse.

    This style of travel control is easy for operators to master, making the small articulated loader a great choice for seasonal employees or rental customers. It's also convenient and simple for operators who need to understand controls for multiple machines.

    Cross-Ventilation Windows

    Small articulated loaders include side and rear windows that open to provide fresh airflow through the cab, providing added comfort for the operator. The cab can now be optioned to include a sliding side window making it easier to control cab ventilation, providing another option for communication with bystanders and improved comfort.

    Spacious Cab

    Compared to other small articulated loaders, the interior of Bobcat models is engineered with more space for the operator, with special attention paid to cab height, foot room and room between the seat and the steering wheel. You'll enjoy more room which leads to better productivity during long hours on the job.

    Ergonomic Controls

    The steering wheel and joystick are simple to reach and intuitive to use, with fingertip auxiliary or telescopic controls that facilitate quick, simple operation - as compared to mechanical switches.

    Bobcat® small articulated loaders also provide variable flow control similar to skid-steer and compact track loaders, unlike the standard mechanical levers found in other machines.

    Enclosed, Heated Cab

    Add the optional cab enclosure with the heated seat and you'll stay comfortable and productive in cold and wet weather. The heated seat helps keep your body warm and comfortable while clearing snow or working in frigid temperatures. Strategically placed, louvered vents help quickly defrost windows and provide direct heat to operators, providing versatility for tackling more work during winter months. A rear defrost window can now be added to all cabbed models to help quickly clear windows of frost or condensation. Automotive-style rear defroster helps maintain visibility in varying weather conditions. Window panels can be added or removed, giving you added flexibility to adapt with the weather to keep operators comfortable in every season.

    Serviceability 5
    Standard Instrumentation

    Small articulated loaders feature an easy-to-read, backlit instrumentation panel that provides visibility to operating information, critical machine errors and warnings.

    Easy Battery Terminal Access

    Bobcat small articulated loaders are designed to make daily maintenance and regular service easy and efficient. They feature easy access to the battery terminal, a high-capacity air filter for long life, a maintenance-free engine accessory drive belt and centrally located access to fuses and relays.

    High-Capacity Air Filter

    The dual-element, high-capacity filter with visual indicator delivers clean airflow to your engine and excellent contaminant-holding capacity for long life and maximum component protection.

    Maintenance-Free Engine Accessory Drive Belt

    A dependable serpentine accessory drive belt requires no tensioning and no maintenance.

    Central Fuel and Relay Access

    Fuses and relays on Bobcat small articulated loaders are centrally located behind a cover inside the cab.

    Versatility 3
    Power Bob-Tach System

    Bobcat® small articulated loaders feature the Bob-Tach® attachment mounting system for using a variety of attachments. They can also be equipped with the optional Power Bob-Tach system for changing non-hydraulic attachments without leaving the comfort of your cab.

    Auxiliary Hydraulics

    For even more attachment possibilities, Bobcat® small articulated loaders include auxiliary hydraulics. A maximum flow of up to 12 gpm and up to 2,900 psi gives you powerful performance and superb work results. Pressure-release quick couplers relieve system pressure for easy hydraulic hookup and removal.

    Bobcat Attachments

    With 30+ compatible attachments, a small articulated loader can be used to complete many kinds of unique jobs that usually require multiple machines. Bobcat attachments deliver the most versatility for your equipment investment. Whether it's handling dirt and snow, digging holes, doing brushwork or moving pallets of materials - with the right attachment, you can adapt to a new task in minutes.

    Digital Connectivity 1
    Machine IQ Telematics

    Available in the Owner Portal and Machine IQ mobile app, Machine IQ telematics lets you monitor your machine's location, health, and security status so you're always in control.

    Protect your equipment with remote engine disable/enable, geofence boundaries, motion detection and curfew alerts that notify you when unauthorized activity occurs.

    Reduce downtime with proactive critical fault code notifications and maintenance reminders that keep you ahead of potential issues.

    Improve performance with utilization reports that track working hours, idle time, and fuel usage, helping you work smarter and get more from every machine.
