With a low, compact design, CL designates “compact loader.” The Seppi Miniforst CL mulcher is equipped with a standard SAE interface, and is suitable for any skid steer with available hydraulic flow between 50 and 150 l/min [13-40 gpm].

The Miniforst CL with new Cut Control rotor has been engineered to meet the demands of mulching contractors where a sharpenable blade is desired.

The goal was to manufacture a rotor using the existing Mini Blade and proven tool holder but with the addition of a gauge to reduce the depth of cut being made by the aggressive Mini Blades. The result is a rotor that maintains Seppi’s unprecedented recovery rate, improves efficiency and allows the operator to reach the ground if desired to mulch all material to ground level with ease.

The Miniforst CL is rated to mulch material up to 8” in diameter on carriers with up to 63 GPM. With its exposed rotor and fixed tools with Tungsten carbide inserts or Mini Blades, the Miniforst cl can mulch everything from standing timber to brush and slash on the ground. An optional hydraulic hood is available on machines equipped with Tungsten carbide inserts and allows the operator to control the direction of flying material, making this Miniforst CL one of the safest compact loader mulchers available. The powerful and reliable Seppi Miniforst cl was engineered using wear-resistant, high tensile steel to be lighter and stronger. All units are standard with multiple rows of counter cutters to provide a consistent, quality mulch. When paired with variable displacement motors with M-Boost technology, performance in compact loader mulchers is taken to a new level.

Ease of service is key! The Seppi Miniforst CL is designed so no tools are needed for daily service. All grease points are well protected and accessible without needing to remove any panels. And with US sourced components, there is minimal downtime in the event of a ruptured hose or belt. The Seppi Miniforst CL is the perfect combination of performance, durability and affordability.

Adaptability

The SAE interface makes mounting the Miniforst CL on your loader simple. And after mounting, it is simple to tune (we’ll show you how) to whatever loader you have. The Miniforst CL mulcher can operate efficiently on any loader with as little as 50 l/min (13 GPM) and up to 150 l/min (40 GPM).  Obviously, high flow is best but even the owner of a low flow loader will be happy with the performance of the Miniforst CL because regardless of GPM, the variable displacement M-Boost motor, which offers 40% more torque than standard motors, is easily adjusted to produce the RPM necessary for efficient mulching.  The Seppi Miniforst CL mulcher can mulch wood and brush to 20 cm (8”) diameter, at working speeds up to 5 km/h (3 MPH). Our patented rotor designs allow an unprecedented recovery rate of speed of the rotor, so you spend more time cutting and less time waiting.  The Miniforst CL will get the most from your loader!

Customisation

If your work is primarily mulching wood, use our proven, sharpenable Mini-Blade hammers with our revolutionary new Cut Control rotor with built in depth gauge. You won’t believe the speed with which you can produce a fine mulch! If your work is primarily land maintenance along roadways, fence lines, etc., choose our best-in-class tungsten carbide Mini-Duo hammers for durability. The patented Cut Control rotor works in concert with five rows of tempered counter cutters providing perfect mulching results. Whether you are working with Cut Controls or Carbide Hammers, our rotors maintain RPM for the highest productivity rate and a great mulch!

Durability

A strong frame, made of S-420 high tensile steel, heavy duty belt cover, well protected hydraulic cylinder and protection chains all assure a long working life.

Miniforst CL mulcher is suitable for most skid steer loader and compact track loaders from CAT, CASE, NEW HOLLAND, DEERE, BOBCAT, ASV, JCB, VOLVO.

Available working width: 150, 175, 200 [59″, 69″, 79″].

Remote control solutions have proved their qualities and abilities to save lives in the toughest environments all around the world by providing service during disasters like floods, forest fires, mud or rock slides and in other places where operators can be subjected to dangerous situations.

“We first presented our remote control prototype at Bobcat Demo Days in October 2017 with excellent feedback from our customers, then subjected it to further improvements, testing and licensing, before finally introducing it as an easy ‘Plug&Play’ solution for existing machines here at Bauma for commercial launch,” says Jiri Karmazin, Loaders Product Manager Doosan Bobcat EMEA.

“The remote control system can be used in many applications with the focus on limitless visibility, the ability to communicate with the surroundings without the need to be present in the cab, comfort enhancement for applications with noise, vibration and harshness or even in dangerous areas. This was the voice of our customers and the issues we observed on most jobsites,” Jiri Karmazin continued.

The new plug and play system comprises an easily portable and industrial radio remote control solution that can be mounted and dismounted on machines in a matter of minutes, leaving behind the standard machine in its original form. Being able to control the loader from outside the cab offers the operator a completely new and alternative opportunity in terms of visibility and communication.

Not only does it provide direct sight of the progress of work with a range of attachments, further increasing the versatility of the loader and a comprehensive range of attachments including angle brooms, augers, breakers, buckets, snow blowers or trenchers and wheelsaws where the operator specifically needs to drive backwards with the loader and this solution offers perfect visibility of the project. It also allows operators to talk face-to-face with project partners and manage the surroundings (verbally or non-verbally) at the same time.

Increased Safety and Productivity

Remote control aims to increase safety, comfort and productivity by distancing the operator from dust, noise, vibrations and other hazards encountered at the workface or on job sites that require special safety precautions. Work can be done faster with higher precision and, in some applications, with fewer personnel on the job site. For increased safety, the system also features an emergency stop button and drop and tilt detection.

Every remote-control kit is protected by a dedicated password, with two-way communication providing all the important information about the loader (such as fuel and oil status, warnings, etc.) on a 3.5-inch transflective colour backlit LCD display. The system provides most of the functions that can be performed via direct loader operation, including throttle, light, creep and float controls. There is also speed management control to ensure easier operation in certain applications (such as trenching, tilling, scarifying and so on). The system in very intuitive to use and the training for end users will be provided by Bobcat dealers.

The remote control system is supplied with two exchangeable batteries offering a long 20-hour battery life. The protective case ensures it is easier to transport from one job site to another. This forms part of an updated state-of-the-art ergonomic design with the system housed in a rugged and weatherproof enclosure.

As mentioned above, applications include demolition environments with poor air quality and distracting noise, where the remote control system gives the operator the ability to do work from a distance, free from dirt, dust and noise. For construction work that normally requires two people, this solution can cut labour numbers and costs, as only one operator can complete the job themselves by carrying out work with attachments from outside the cab.

In shipyards with limited space, distancing the operator from the machine keeps them away from hazardous chemicals and other airborne pollutants. The job can be done more easily, with better visibility for managing tight spaces in and around containment areas.

In the waste and recycling industries, the remote control solution allows operators to handle dangerous or toxic materials from a safe distance, minimizing the risk of exposure. With the remote control solution, operators can work on hazardous applications (such as detecting and removing land mines) and also in areas where more visibility is needed to do the job properly (such as in some road applications).
