Bobcat, one of the world's leading manufacturers of farm and construction equipment, has launched the company’s new TL30.70 Agri compact telescopic loader at the Agritechnica expo which opened today (November 12) in Hanover, Germany.

The TL30.70 provides a maximum lift capacity of 3 tonnes and a maximum lift height of nearly 7 m; the overall width remains at less than 2.1 m even with 24-inch tyres, said the company in a statement.

It is part of a range of six telescopic loader models from Bobcat covering maximum lifting capacities between 2.6 and 3.8 tonne with lifting heights from 6 to 7 m.

Like all Bobcat models, the TL30.70 is covered by a three-year/3,000-hour warranty as standard, said the company statement.

There is also the option of extending the warranty to five years/5,000 hours. They are all designed and manufactured in France (Brittany) at the Bobcat factory in Pontchâteau, it added.

Bobcat said the new TL30.70 is ideal for poultry and goat farms but also for mixed farming, particularly on small and medium-sized crop, livestock and dairy farms.  

It provides an excellent compact and cost-effective alternative to larger 7 m models, especially where working spaces are tight and increased manoeuvrability is required.

In addition, performance is not compromised in the compact TL30.70, which offers a powerful hydraulic system with flow sharing to combine several fast boom movements simultaneously for increased productivity.

Like all Bobcat telescopic loaders, the TL30.70 has a heavy-duty hydrostatic transmission that delivers smooth power quickly and when it is needed, said the company in its statement.

A two-speed range with shift-on-fly optimises speed and torque for each individual job.  The Hydro-Vario transmission delivers the smoothest 0-40 km/h stepless driving experience and allows an impressive 17 tonne towing capacity when equipped with the trailer brake system, it stated.

Bobcat said it has designed all of its telescopic loaders with the same robust box-welded frame for enhanced rigidity and stability (low load centre).

The shielded bottom plate protects vital components and a combination of specific features maximises reliability and reduces total cost of ownership in even the most severe conditions, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
