Bobcat donates $325,000 in equipment for hurricane relief efforts

Doosan Bobcat has donated over $325,000 worth of Bobcat equipment and Doosan Portable Power light towers and generators to assist with relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma in the USA.

Together, the two hurricanes have caused extensive damage to areas of Texas and Florida, while the storm surges and rainfall associated with the events have contributed to severe flooding events in the country, especially in the Florida Keys.

Doosan Bobcat earlier expedited equipment and attachment deliveries to the imperiled areas ahead of the landfall of Hurricane Harvey in Texas and of Hurricane Irma in southern Florida, in an effort to help prepare local business for clean-up efforts.

The company is also providing financial assistance to employees of the Doosan Bobcat North America dealership affected by the storms and their families, and the business’s annual charitable drives will also be directed toward assisting those impacted by the hurricanes.

“Doosan Bobcat has been on the scene helping communities recover from natural disasters for more than 50 years,” said Rich Goldsbury, president of Doosan Bobcat North America.

“We have a ready-response program that ensures Bobcat equipment and other assets are readily available to help out local communities, our dealerships and their employees. Our support and prayers go out to those affected by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma.”
