Bobcat upgrades telehandlers

Bobcat has launched upgraded versions of its largest fixed framed telehandlers with the 4.1 tonne/13.7 metre T40140 and the four tonne/17.5 metre T40180.

Both models have higher maximum lift heights and are available with either Stage IIIB or Stage IIIA diesel power units – the Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 and Perkins 1104D-44TA respectively.

Weighing 10.2 tonnes, the T40140 can lift four tonnes at its maximum lift height and 1.3 tonne at its maximum outreach of 10.4 metres. The T40180 lifts up to 2.5 tonnes at its maximum lift height, while at its maximum 13.7 metres outreach, it can handle 560kg. The T40180 has a gross vehicle weight of 10.8 tonnes.

Features include a hydrostatic transmission, semi-automatic wheel alignment and the company’s side shift and levelling systems fitted as standard. An LCD digital display provides operators with a quick overview of the machine’s performance as well as a readout of the frame levelling and boom angle. Its new high visibility cab also provides better views of the load and attachments and the larger back window and additional windows in the cab door offer better visibility.
