 Bobcat T36120SL |
R & B Joinery of Inverurie in Aberdeenshire has purchased Scotland's first Bobcat T36120SL 12 m from Balgownie Ltd, the authorised regional Bobcat and Doosan dealer.
Alistair Brownie, managing director of R & B Joinery, says: "As a busy building contractor working in the rugged countryside of Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, we always have a requirement for telehandlers to effectively act as rough-terrain forklifts, capable of working on the different types of terrain we encounter when building properties in the area. With both the Bobcat frame-levelling and stabiliser systems on the machine, the T36120SL telehandler allows us to work with great confidence on whatever surface we have to deal with."
The T36120SL's easy-to-use compact stabilisers ensure that the machine's full capabilities can be used in the most confined working areas, with a minimal loss of reach when deploying the stabilisers. The narrow design of the stabilisers ensures the machine can be placed close to walls and operated in narrow spaces.
"The T36120SL is also a compact telehandler, with a much better turning circle than we've seen on other telehandlers. Where the wheels go, the machine goes too."
The T36120SL is powered by the 74.5 kW (100 HP) Deutz Stage IIIB diesel engine, providing plenty of power and torque even in the most difficult ground conditions. It has a hydrostatic transmission offering a maximum travel speed of 30 km/h, complemented by an inching function for smooth driving and precise positioning.
For construction and rental applications, the T36120SL telehandler features an auxiliary hydraulic line and is supplied with a 1.12 m wide foldable pallet forks carriage with backrest and 1200 mm pallet forks as standard. An important safety feature is the Aggravating Movement Arrester (AMA) system which cuts off all aggravating movements to ensure safe use within the working envelope, whatever the attachment used and the type of load (palletised or suspended) being lifted.
The T36120SL telescopic handler has a maximum lift capacity of 3.6 T. The working envelope has a maximum lift height of 11.87 m and a maximum forward reach of 8.20 m. It can be supplied with a wide range of attachments, including different types of digging buckets, pallet forks and jibs.
