Bobcat offers height, lift and control
Bobcat’s enhanced telehandlers are claimed to offer increased lifting heights and market-leading load chart performance.
01 December 2013
BOBCAT has launched new advanced versions of the company’s two largest rigid frame telescopic handlers.
The new T40140 14-m and T40180 18-m models both have increased maximum lifting heights and are based on an easy-to-use design that provides class-leading efficiency and productivity backed by state-of-the-art safety systems.
“The much enhanced T40140 and T40180 telehandlers include many new features and are available in both Stage IIIB and Stage IIIA compatible versions,” says a Bobcat official. “The Stage IIIB versions are powered by a 75 kW (100 hp) Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 diesel engine, which utilises EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) and a DOC (diesel oxidisation catalyst)-only solution to meet the new emission standards. The new Stage IIIA models are powered by the Perkins 1104D-44TA 75 kW (100 hp) diesel engine.”
For the T40140 telehandler, the maximum lift capacity is 4.1 tonnes and the maximum lift height is 13.71 m, when the capacity is four tonnes. The capacity at maximum reach (10.43) is 1.3 tonnes. Unloaded, the T40140 weighs 10.29 tonnes and provides a tilt crowding force of 12,300 daN.
The T40180 telehandler has a maximum lift capacity of four tonnes and a maximum lift height of 17.52 m. Unloaded, the T40180 weighs 10.79 tonnes and provides a crowding force of 12,300 daN.
Both the models deliver market-leading load chart performance in their classes when operating on tyres alone. The new T40140 model offers the highest lift capacity of 4.1 tonnes, whilst the T40180 telehandler has an unmatched maximum lifting height of 16.2 m when operated on tyres.
Featuring optimised ROPS/FOPS protection, the new cab on the telehandlers offers increased safety and visibility through a curved front window providing a better view of loads and attachments at height; a larger back window increasing sight to the rear and a cab door with windows above and below the handlebar for optimum visibility when manoeuvring close to walls or other obstacles.
Furthermore, the FNR control on the joystick, first seen on the new Bobcat TL470 and TL470HF 7 m telehandlers, ensures the operator has maximum control at their fingertips, allowing the driving direction to be selected at the touch of a button while still keeping a grip on both the steering wheel and the joystick for improved safety and productivity. There is also a comprehensive range of attachments for use on the models, including digging buckets and man platforms.
