New Bobcat products to be shown for first time at Plantworx

Posted: 31 May 2023

In both the Static and Demonstration areas of the Bobcat stand at the Plantworx 2023 Exhibition, the company will be presenting a host of new products for the first time at the show. The premieres include the first appearance at a UK construction show of both the new TL25.60 Telehandler and the T86 R-Series Compact Track Loader as part of the Static display. Other firsts at Plantworx include the new Ground Maintenance Equipment range and an array of products from the company’s Light Compaction line. They continue with the new E19e electric-powered model and the top-of-the-range E88 8 tonne mini-excavator. Bobcat is also presenting for the first time the new MaxControl Remote Control system on a T66 compact track loader in the Demonstration zone.

The New TL25.60 Super Compact Telehandler from Bobcat

As the smallest machine in the Bobcat telehandler range, the new TL25.60 brings the number of rigid frame telehandlers from Bobcat for construction, rental and general handling to 11 models. The new TL25.60 telehandler has been designed for simplicity of use, excellent stability, optimum comfort and safe operation in any type of application.

The TL25.60 is powered by a 75 HP Bobcat Stage V engine. The machine has a rated operating capacity of 2500 kg, offers a maximum lift height of 5.9 m and a maximum reach of 3.3 m. The Bob-Tach carriage (manual or hydraulic) increases versatility by allowing the TL25.60 to utilise attachments designed for the Bobcat loader range.

The T86 - The Most Powerful Compact Track Loader Ever from Bobcat

Delivering a higher engine and hydraulic output, the 5087 kg T86 is the most powerful compact track loader Bobcat has ever built, offering a rated operating capacity of 1780 kg and a tipping load of 3175 kg. Utilising a well-proven Stage V compliant 3.4 l Bobcat engine, producing 78 kW (105 HP) at 2600 RPM, the T86 can be configured for the first time with three different auxiliary functions.

There is a standard flow configuration providing 87 l/min for applications such as load and carry, or where low hydraulic flow attachments are used. Bobcat also offers two additional hydraulic performance functions using the new Electronic Displacement Control (EDC) Pump: a High Flow function giving 138 l/min and a new, industry unique Super Flow function taking auxiliary flow to 159 l/min. Typically, the Super Flow function increases productivity with like-for-like attachments by 15 to 20%.

Commenting on these new product introductions, John Christofides, Regional Sales Director, UK/Ireland, Nordics, Baltics and Eastern Europe for Doosan Bobcat EMEA, said: “Because job sites are becoming ever tighter on space, telehandlers must also become more compact and agile. We have designed the new Bobcat TL25.60 to not only meet this demand but to be the best compact machine on the market. The T86 is also an exceptional machine - the most powerful compact track loader we have ever built, providing even more versatility as both a tool carrier and a workhorse.”
