EQUIPMENT

Sharing the same, easily recog-

nisable

counterweight

design

and chassis in black, the T35105,

T35105L and T36120SL models

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.

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

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.

COMPACT, SIMPLER AND BETTER

Replacing the previous five

models from the T35100

to the T35120SL telescopic

handlers, Bobcat has

launched the company’s

new T35105, T35105L and

T36120SL 10-12 m middle lift

telescopic handlers.
