COMPACT, SIMPLER AND BETTER Replacing the previous five models from the T35100 to the T35120SL telescopic handlers, Bobcat has

Available in versions for markets with non-regulated or regulated emissions, high performance is ensured, respectively, by the 74,5 kW (100 HP) 410 Nm Perkins Stage IIIA or Deutz Stage IIIB diesel engines, providing plenty of power and torque even in the most difficult ground conditions. The new telescopic handlers have a hydrostatic transmission offering a maximum travel speed of 30 km/h, comple- mented by an inching function for smooth driving and precise positioning. The T36120SL incorporates both stabilisers and the frame-levelling system while the T35105L features the frame-levelling system. Built for construction and rental For construction and rental applications, the new telescopic handlers feature an auxiliary hydraulic line and are supplied with a 1,12 m wide foldable pallet forks carriage with back- rest and 1 200 mm pallet forks as standard. An important safety feature is the Aggra- vating Movement Arrester (AMA) system which cuts off all aggravating movements to ensure safe use within the working enve- lope, whatever the attachment used and the type of load (palletised or suspended) being lifted. Increased safety and enhanced control As well as the high visibility curved front window, the new ROPS/FOPS protected cab on the T35105, T35105L and T36120SL telescopic handlers has a larger back window increasing sight to the rear and a cab door with windows above and below the handlebar for optimum visibility when manoeuvring close to walls or other

Sharing the same, easily recog- nisable counterweight design and chassis in black, the T35105, T35105L and T36120SL models launched the company’s new T35105, T35105L and T36120SL 10-12 m middle lift telescopic handlers. > are part of the new generation of tele- scopic handlers from Bobcat and incorpo- rate many of the improvements already seen in the TL360/TL470 6-7 m and T40140/ T40180 14-18 m models launched over the last 18 months. The advanced features include the new Panoramic Cab which has a large parabolic windscreen providing panoramic visibility especially when handling loads at height. In the cab, there is a new dashboard with digital display and ergonomic controls including a joystick with integrated forward/ reverse (FNR) control for improved produc- tivity and safety. The state-of-the-art electronics in the new telescopic handlers are based on can bus technology allowing smart machine management and monitoring of the main components for easier maintenance. Based around a 100 l/min gear pump, the advanced hydraulics feature an active diagnostic system which ensures that in case of hydraulic failure, the machine always remains within safe limits.

obstacles. Overall the new cab is designed to provide an exceptional work environment and a new higher level of comfort for the operator, reducing fatigue and improving safety and performance on site. Optimum reliability and serviceability For maximum uptime and serviceability, active diagnostics of the hydraulic main valve monitors three critical parameters – spool position, voltage control and sensor monitoring. The system ensures that oper- ation of the machine remains within safe limits even in the case of hydraulic failure. Light indicators on the remote control show any issues related to hydraulics and the safe operation of the machine (hydraulic move- ments, stabilisers etc.) Stabiliser control is allowed if the boom position is safe (retracted or boom angle low). New generation hydraulic and elec- trical systems ensure optimum performance and extended machine life. A new cooling package ensures a smooth and stable control of the hydraulic oil temperature and optimises hydraulic hose life.
