Bobcat Launches New Family of Rotary Telehandlers

Posted on: 12 March 2024

Bobcat has launched a new range of Rotary Telehandlers for markets in Europe and the Middle East and Africa. The new range offers nine Stage V powered models for the European market, covering lifting heights from 18 to 39 m and lifting capacities from 5 to 8 tonne. These are complemented by four Stage IIIA machines for sale in the Middle East and Africa, for lifting heights from 18 to 26 m and lifting capacities from 5 to 6 tonne. 

The models with lifting heights from 18 to 26 m are Deutz engine powered, with the higher lift models from 27 to 39 m powered by Volvo engines. The same engine manufacturers are common to both the Stage IIIA and Stage V models, allowing easier maintenance and training.

One of the key aspects of the new line of rotary telehandlers is the patented panoramic cab offering the best visibility on the market and a wide range of features, including:

  • Fully enclosed and pressurized environment for the operator
  • 100% Air Filtration 
  • ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structures) certification
  • FOPS (Falling-Object Protective Structures) certification 
  • Air conditioning as standard 
  • No cladding in the front (inspired by crane cab designs) 
  • An easily adjustable steering column
  • A comfortable, fully adjustable seat
  • The cab is also equipped with a practical door: opening at 90° and 180°, in both the upper and lower sections 

Inside the cab, all the Bobcat rotary telehandlers are equipped with a new dashboard with a 7 or 12 inch display offering a choice of three different views: the classic real-time load chart; a new boom dynamic load chart – showing only the area in which the operator can move safely with a load - and, thirdly, a 360° view from above.
