Specialist Municipal Works Contractor Centro Pavimentazioni Used A Fleet of all Bobcat machines to complete a complicated project in its home city of Lucca, Italy. The work included excavation, refurbishment of underground utilities, construction of a new cycle way and the creation of a new rainwater drainage system and other new municipal facilities.

Technical manager Francesco Politi said, “We bought our first Bobcat 753 skid-steer loader about ten years ago and since then Bobcat has become our supplier of choice. We use Bobcat machines a lot. Over the years, they have proven to be reliable, productive and able to retain their value over time.

Consequently, our brand loyalty is the result of exactly the same reasons as most other users. Even though there are other equipment solutions - in some cases equally as good - available on the market today, it is a fact that no other manufacturer offers such a wide range of equipment as Bobcat.”

Among the machines used on the Lucca work was a new 430 zero tail swing excavator, which provided the productivity, stability and precise control that were crucial to the success of the project.
