Bobcat has expanded the company’s next generation R-Series range of products with the launch of its new Super Compact TL25.60 telehandler. The smallest machine in the range, this brings the number of rigid frame telehandlers from Bobcat for construction, rental and general handling to 11 models. An agricultural version will follow in 2023.
The new TL25.60 has been designed for simplicity of use, excellent stability, optimum comfort and safe operation in any type of application. Powered by a 75hp Bobcat Stage V engine, the machine has a rated operating capacity of 2,500kg; offers a maximum lift height of 5.91m; and a maximum reach of 3.31m.
The Bob-Tach carriage (manual or hydraulic) increases versatility by allowing the TL25.60 to utilise attachments designed for the Bobcat loader range.
The telescopics product manager EMEA at Bobcat, Florian Hilbert, said that despite the super compact format, the cab on the TL25.60 was the same as Bobcat’s top-of-the-range R-Series 18m model.
“Customers can be certain they have the most spacious cab in the compact telehandler market,” he added.
Features of the cab include:
- new five-inch LCD display;
- enhanced intuitiveness and simplicity-of-use;
- plenty of storage spaces;
- air suspension seat for daily comfort;
- optional tilting and telescopic steering column; and
- easy to get in and out of the cab with 90-degree door opening and low entry step.
Like all Bobcat telehandlers, the new engine hood has been designed to maximise visibility on the right hand side of the machine. Together with the new dashboard design in the cab and strong but slim cabin pillars, this provides excellent unobstructed visibility for the operator. Combined with the best turning radius on the market, this allows the operator to move around the job site with ease and to minimise accidents or mistakes.
The TL25.60 has an extra tough design with a robust frame and boom for working in every possible environment. The shielded design provides protection for hydraulic and electrical components (including the pipes, harness and transmission) and a steel plate protects the base of the machine. It also has a box section layout and significant ground clearance for peace of mind.
The TL25.60 offers impressive control at any height thanks to the smooth hydrostatic transmission, hydraulic boom movements and flow sharing, ensuring all needs are met on job sites. Using the same main valve as the other models in the R-Series, it’s said to offer the best cycle times on the market.
