Sunbelt Rentals has taken a major step forward in promoting sustainability by expanding its fleet of Bobcat T7X all-electric compact track loaders. The company, which first introduced the groundbreaking machine to its Sacramento, California fleet in October 2022, now boasts 106 of these innovative loaders operating across the state. This marks a significant milestone in Sunbelt Rentals’ mission to provide eco-friendly solutions to its customers.
A Fleet Leading the Charge
As the world’s first all-electric compact track loader, the Bobcat T7X sets a new standard for sustainable construction equipment. Sunbelt Rentals has committed to expanding access to this cutting-edge machinery, ensuring customers across California can leverage its advanced capabilities. With the largest fleet of Bobcat T7X loaders in the industry, Sunbelt Rentals continues to position itself as a leader in environmentally conscious construction solutions.
Powerful Performance Meets Sustainability
The Bobcat T7X is powered by a 72.6-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery, delivering performance that rivals, and often surpasses, traditional diesel-powered track loaders. Not only does the machine offer zero-operational emissions, but it is also nearly silent during operation. This makes it an ideal choice for projects in urban areas with noise restrictions or for indoor applications where quiet machinery is a necessity.
Brad Coverdale, vice president of fleet and procurement at Sunbelt Rentals, praised the T7X’s versatility and power. “Our customers need equipment that provides powerful, reliable performance while addressing evolving environmental concerns. The Bobcat T7X offers the perfect balance of strength and sustainability, allowing contractors to tackle projects with reduced noise and emissions.”
A Commitment to Sustainable Solutions
Sunbelt Rentals is committed to supporting customers in achieving their sustainability goals. “Investing in innovative equipment like the Bobcat T7X demonstrates our dedication to providing accessible, sustainable alternatives,” said Karen Beadle, senior vice president of sustainability at Sunbelt Rentals. “We empower our customers to confidently pursue environmentally conscious practices without compromising on performance.”
The Bobcat T7X is just one part of Sunbelt Rentals’ broader strategy to increase sustainable offerings. The company’s growing fleet also includes all-electric scissor lifts, compact excavators, and battery energy storage systems. Additionally, Sunbelt Rentals incorporates Ford F-150 Lightning trucks into its on-road fleet to further reduce its carbon footprint.
A Future Focused on Sustainability
With California’s growing demand for sustainable construction solutions, the expansion of the Bobcat T7X fleet is timely. By combining cutting-edge technology with environmental responsibility, Sunbelt Rentals ensures contractors have access to the tools they need to meet both operational and sustainability goals.
As the construction industry continues to evolve, Sunbelt Rentals remains at the forefront of providing innovative, eco-friendly solutions. Whether it’s reducing carbon emissions or minimizing noise pollution, the company is dedicated to creating a cleaner, greener future for the construction sector.
