The Perfect Weld Starts Here.

When redesigning the Bobcat™ welder line, Miller® needed an engine partner that could deliver on reliability, service and performance. Vanguard answered the call, providing an extensive global dealer network and a selection of powerful, durable commercial engines to ensure that the redesigned Bobcat™ welders would be ready for the toughest welding tasks.

The 23.0 Gross HP* Small Block V-Twin Horizontal Shaft engine offers the best power-to-weight ratio on the market at 3.35 lbs/HP (77 lbs/23 HP). The engine is 18% lighter than similar offerings on the market and also offers improved torque compared to competitors at 2.2 lbs/lb-ft (77 lbs/35 lb-ft). With the increased power comes better fuel economy, greater load acceptance and high-efficiency airflow intake for more powerful performance. Read more here >>>
