Incomparable reach.

Delivering best-in-class lifting capacity at maximum reach, Bobcat Telescopic Handlers perform any task with ease and safety.

Operator Cab 

The cab is designed to provide a maximum of space with easy to use controls, so the operator is able to work all day long in a comfortable environment that promotes productivity. The cab design incorporates advanced technology that meets every requirement in terms of ergonomics, comfort and safety.
Bobcat telescopic handlers offer excellent visibility, which is especially beneficial when operating in the following situations:
• forwards for picking up equipment
• upwards for positioning at maximum height
• all-round for manoeuvring
• backwards for safety
The cabin Bobcat telescopic handlers rests on 3”Silentbloc” shock absorbers and is fitted to the chassis via the patented “Zebullon” suspension system, which absorbs impact energy when operating the telescopic handler.

Cab Options 

• air conditioning
• windscreen protection grid
• roof window wiper

Easy-to-use Controls 

• Single loader-style hydraulic joystick for boom and bucket functions
• Boom extension and auxiliary functions activated by variable control thumb wheels on joystick
• Single shuttle lever for forward, reverse, high and low speeds
• Tilt and telescoping steering wheel column

Hydrostatic Transmission

All Bobcat telescopic handlers have a simple-to-use, industrial hydrostatic transmission to optimize your productivity.
• Power: The hydrostatic transmission provides a 95% performance efficiency. This means: power coupled with low fuel consumption
• Precision: The hydrostatic transmission makes it possible to place the load to the exact mm. As well as precision, this is also a vital factor for safety, particularly when loads have to be positioned at significant heights or distances from the machine
• Smoothness: The transmission adapts automatically. The transition from work mode to road and back is both flexible and smooth and there is no need to stop during this process, a real time saver. Finally, the hydrostatic transmission offers dynamic braking, which is both smooth and safe and does not cause undue wear

3 Steering Modes for Ease of Handling

1. All-wheel steer for on-site handling
2. Crab-steer for positioning loads from side-to-side in restricted areas
3. Front-wheel steer for travel on roads

Aggravating Movements Arrestor (AMA)

All Bobcat telescopic handlers feature the AMA, which prevents dangerous machine movements during operation. It is perfectly complemented by the longitudinal stability indicator (LSI), which clearly displays the machine’s longitudinal stability.

Reliable and robust: built to last

The ‘full protection’ concept ensures maximum durability through:
• Tilt cylinders and hydraulic hoses protected inside the boom
• Reinforced underside to protect the engine and other vital components when travelling over rough terrain
The “Advanced boom” arms offers the following features
• Arm design in high resistant steel significantly reduces its weight and improves performance.
The use of the patented cassette concept facilitates arm maintenance: all the arm’s electric cables and hoses are grouped together in a cassette which is easily removed.
All the hydraulic lines and telescoping cylinder are integrated in the arm, thus avoiding any damage should an object be dropped on the arm.

Performance

Load Chart
Don’t just look at the rated capacity and maximum lift height. Study the load chart for the range of applications covered. In particular, look for the following:
• the capacity at maximum height
• the forward reach at maximum height
• the maximum forward reach
• the capacity at maximum forward reach
Customers have specific loading or material handling requirements and these factors are all important when choosing the best lifting equipment.

Superior Performance

Thanks to the design and construction of the boom, which pivots at the very rear of the machine, both the T40140 and T40170 offer excellent working ranges. On stabilisers, over 17 metres of lift height, the T40170 can lift 2500 kg to the maximum lifting heigh.

Stabilisers

Both Bobcat telescopic handler models have two stabilisers which move independently for precise positioning. The stabilisers are fully adjustable and, whether stowed or deployed, do not detract from the compactness of the machine. 

Boom Control

A 4-function joystick provides precise, proportional control of any combination of movements desired. The telescoping action of the boom sections is proportional and smooth, without loss of hydraulic power.

Self-levelling

On inclined surfaces, the self-levelling system, which provides a tilt correction of +/- 4°, can be used to level the telehandler for safe, optimum positioning of the load. Using self-levelling in combination with the stabilisers can provide a total correction up to +/- 12°.

Side Shift

The sideways movement offers a lateral shift up to 85cm at maximum height. Self-levelling and side shift are possible on both wheels and stabilisers. Moreover, both operations can be done at the same time, without any loss of load capacity.

Easy maintenance, less downtime

You'll find all the components and service points in the same, easy-to-access place on every machine, thanks to the common platform and consistent design. Maintenance is a breeze and downtime is reduced. Moreover, no specialized tools are required for this work.
