Bobcat has expanded its telescopic handler line-up with the inclusion of the latest 8m TL43.80HF and 7m TL30.70 models, and now offers a choice of 13 rigid frame telehandlers for applications in construction, rental, recycling, waste and general industry, covering maximum lifting capacities between 2.6-4.3t with lifting heights from 6-18m.

The compact equipment giant said the new TL43.80HF increases the lift capacity in the Bobcat range to 4.3t, combining this with a maximum lift height of almost 8m. The TL43.80HF is a compact telehandler that brings together high productivity, robustness and rough terrain ability in the same machine, providing a new solution for heavy lift handling applications found in general industry, manufacturing, building materials, warehousing, quarrying and mining. The TL43.80HF is also ideal for farming work, the manufacturer added.

The TL43.80HF’s box welded frame, low load centre, long wheel base and new massive rear counterweight give it high stability, allowing Bobcat to minimise the overall dimensions of the machine, resulting in a width of only 2.30m and a length of less than 5m from the rear to the fork face.

The TL30.70, meanwhile, provides a maximum lift capacity of 3t and a maximum lift height of nearly 7m, for a wide range of applications in construction, rental, recycling, waste and general industry. The model’s compact width of 2.1m in the 7m class makes for a compact and stabile machine for easy pick- and-go or for lifting materials to height on housing and commercial property developments.
