Bobcat expands telehandler range

01 December 2019

With the addition of the high-performance 8-m TL43.80HF and 7-m TL30.70 telehandlers, Bobcat now offers a choice of 13 rigid-frame telehandler models for applications in construction, rental, recycling, waste and general industry. This range covers maximum lifting capacities between 2.6 and 4.3 tonnes with lifting heights from 6 to 18 m.

The new TL43.80HF increases the lift capacity in the Bobcat range to 4.3 tonnes, combining this with a maximum lift height of almost 8 m. The new compact telehandler offers an impressive package, combining high productivity, robustness and rough-terrain ability.

The TL43.80HF provides a new solution for heavy lift handling applications found in general industry, manufacturing, building materials, warehousing, quarrying and mining. Its very high stability is due to the box welded frame, the low load centre, the long wheel base and the new massive rear counterweight, allowing Bobcat to minimise the overall dimensions of the machine to a width of only 2.30 m and a length of less than 5 m from the rear to the fork face, says Olivier Traccucci, Bobcat Telehandler senior product manager.

“Together with a short turning radius of just 3.71 m, this new Bobcat telehandler is a very manoeuvrable machine, a particularly useful feature when it comes to working in confined environments,” says Traccucci.

The TL30.70, meanwhile, provides a maximum lift capacity of 3 tonnes and a maximum lift height of nearly 7 m, for a wide range of applications.

“The compact width of 2.1 m of the TL30.70 ensures it provides a cost-effective format in the 7 m class. Its compactness and stability makes it a perfect tool for easy ‘pick and go’ or for lifting materials to height on housing and commercial property developments,” he says.

The machine offers an excellent compact and cost-effective alternative to larger 7 m models, especially where working spaces are tight and increased manoeuvrability is required. In addition, performance is not compromised as the TL30.70 offers an outstanding maximum reach of 4 m with a load of more than 1 tonne. At the maximum lift height, users can lift up to 2 tonnes of weight, which is sufficient to place a pallet of heavy bricks in most conditions.
