Bobcat has appointed Peterborough-based RTC Plant Services Ltd (www.rtcplant.com<\/a>) as the new Authorised Bobcat dealer for Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire in the UK. RTC is now responsible for sales and service of the market-leading range of Bobcat skid-steer, compact track and all-wheel steer loaders, mini-excavators, telehandlers and attachments in the construction, rental, landscaping and industrial markets in the three counties.<\/p>\n

Tom Calton, Managing Director of RTC Plant Services Ltd<\/strong>, said: \u201cAs one of the region’s largest independent sales, parts and service dealers, we bring a lot of local knowledge, expertise, experience and enthusiasm to selling and supporting the Bobcat range in these areas. Both I and my fellow Director, Dave Ellis, who heads up the sales side, believe there are many fantastic opportunities to expand sales for Bobcat in this region in construction and rental markets as well as many other areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A New University and Good Prospects<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fact that RTC has already been able to complete several sales of Bobcat mini-excavators so soon after being appointed bears this out – with a number of existing customers switching to Bobcat from other brands.<\/p>\n

With the go-ahead being given for its first university to be built in the embankment area of Peterborough and new developments in infrastructure and other sectors, prospects are good not only in Peterborough, but also in the university city of Cambridge. Similar developments are underway and being proposed in towns such as Northampton and Corby in Northamptonshire and in Bedford and St Neots in Bedfordshire.<\/p>\n

Ewen Gilchrist, Network Development Manager UK & Nordics for Doosan Bobcat EMEA<\/strong>, said: \u201cFrom their outstanding facilities in the centre of Peterborough combined with good transport links, we are confident that RTC will provide the best possible service for both new and existing Bobcat customers in Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. RTC has great local knowledge and a drive and passion for the Bobcat range that can only bring further success.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The RTC 1996 Group: There’s Nothing We Can’t Service or Repair<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Formed in 1996, RTC Plant Services is part of the group, RTC 1996 Ltd, along with its sister companies, RTC Hire Ltd and RTC Groundcare Ltd. Starting from a one man in a van business, RTC has grown rapidly into a highly professional organisation, supplying customers within a 100-mile radius of Peterborough.<\/p>\n

As well as the Bobcat range of machines and attachments, RTC also offers a full selection of genuine Bobcat accessories and parts to support both new and existing Bobcat customers in its area. This is backed up by a stock of both brand new and second hand Bobcat machines for sale. Customers also benefit from RTC\u2019s on-site service network, covering everything from emergency repairs to routine maintenance.<\/p>\n

Tom Calton added: \u201cWe have four fully equipped service vans that allow our service engineers to visit customer\u2019s premises and work sites throughout the region. We also have Class 2 trucks and other smaller lorries. From diggers to telehandlers, there’s nothing we can’t service or repair. Our fully equipped service department, with time served engineers, is more than capable of making sure that customers\u2019 equipment is fully serviced and repaired.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also have a second to none parts department to cater for all parts requirements. With thousands of parts in stock, we can offer a prompt delivery service. Any parts that are not stocked we can usually get on an overnight service for dispatch the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Bobcat Range <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bobcat offers 12 skid-steer loader<\/strong> models, complementing these wheeled machines with a selection of six compact track loaders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Bobcat mini-excavator<\/strong> range comprises 18 models with operating weights from 0.8 to 8.5 tonne, with the newest additions including the innovative R(Revolutionary)-Series models from 2-4 tonne.<\/p>\n

The range of machines from Bobcat is completed by a choice of fifteen standard rigid frame t<\/strong>elehandler <\/strong>models (as well as four models available as new Waste Expert telehandlers) and four rotary telehandlers, covering maximum lifting capacities between 2.6 and 5.0 tonne and maximum lifting heights from 6.0 to 24.1 m.<\/p>\n

For use with these machines and covering a massive array of applications, Bobcat offers a market-leading range of over 130 different families of attachments<\/strong>, from angle brooms, augers, breakers, buckets, snow blowers to planers, trenchers and wheelsaws.<\/p>\n
