What Is Changing?
This change is affecting some products which will be discontinued, while we are bringing improvements to current Bobcat products and new package options for selected products.
Products to Be Discontinued
The most notable change is the discontinuation of CJ-4 engine oils from Bobcat’s range. With more and more Bobcat machines switching to Stage V technology engines, it is critical to use the latest CK-4 engine oil. It was introduced to Bobcat’s range over a year ago and is now replacing previous CJ-4 oil specification.
Because CJ-4 oils are fully replaceable by newer technology, we don’t see the need for offering both specifications. We believe this change will also allow dealers to reduce their inventory and number of SKUs.
Other changes are minor and related to cancelation of non-popular products, simplification of available package sizes, or supersessions in case of duplicities.
Please see the complete summary of changes in the table below.
All above mentioned products are available only while stock lasts.
New Products in Preparation
We are also working on new product development. New additions to our portfolio will be related to expansion of available package sizes for some existing products and the introduction of a range of improved greases. All new products are close to finalization and scheduled to become available in August.
We will provide detailed information about the new products and corresponding part numbers via future newsletters when the products are ready for launch. Marketing materials, including updated part numbers list will be provided accordingly.
