Bobcat showcases new telehandler

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).
