Bobcat showcases new telehandler
London, United Kingdom

Bobcat will exhibit the new TR50210 rotary telehandler for the first time at Samoter 2011 in March.

The rotating ability of the new telehandlers enables the machines to serve the needs of an entire site from just one position. The telehandler has a three-section boom, offering a maximum lifting capacity of 5,000kg (11,023lbs), a maximum lifting height with stabilizers of 20.5 metres (67.3 feet) and a maximum horizontal reach of 18.1 metres (59.4 feet).
