Bobcat has launched a new standard three-year warranty for the complete range of its rigid telehandlers manufactured at the company’s plant at Pontchâteau in Loire Atlantique, France.
“Available as standard in Europe, the Middle East and Africa on all the models in the Bobcat telehandler range from the T2250 5-m telehandler to the top-of-the-range T40180 18-m model, the new three-year warranty reflects the high-quality and reliability of the products manufactured in Pontchâteau,” says a company spokesman.
As well as showing the company’s confidence in the Bobcat telehandler range, the new warranty demonstrates Bobcat’s commitment to the market as a whole and is complemented by a range of warranty extension programmes from Bobcat, he adds.
The new warranty will also enhance customer confidence and increase resale values for Bobcat telehandlers, the spokesman says.
With more than 50 years of experience in compact equipment design, Bobcat has a proven reputation for high quality design, manufacturing and customer service.
The Pontchâteau plant produces all of Bobcat’s rigid telehandlers, with the design, development, production and sales organisations all based at the plant. Currently, the plant produces 14 different Bobcat telehandler models, with lifting heights from 5 to 18 m.
Aimed at applications in the construction, rental and recycling industries, a new generation of Bobcat machines has been introduced over the last four years, including:
• TL series (telescopic loader) TL358, TL358+, TL360, TL470 and TL470HF, 5.8- to 7-m two-stage boom models aimed at intensive applications.
• T Series (telescopic) T35105, T35105L and T36120SL 10-12 m middle lift models; the T35130S, T35130SL, T35140S and T40140 13- to 14-m high lift models and the top-of-the-range T40180 18-m telehandler.
“At Pontchâteau, Bobcat ensures the company delivers products of the highest quality through the selection of leading and proven suppliers, integrated design, reliability/endurance testing and the manufacturing process in which 100 per cent of all production units are individually controlled and quality approved,” the spokesman concludes.
Built to Bobcat’s high equipment standards, the company’s telescopic handlers range offers versatility, manoeuvrability and productivity, along with safe and efficient lifting and loading capabilities.
Bobcat Company is a subsidiary of Doosan Bobcat, a wholly owned subsidiary of Doosan Infracore Company.
