26 metres in the air with the new Bobcat TR60 260 Rotary telehandler

Peter Haddock reaches new heights, talking Bobcat Rotary telehandlers in a man basket with expert Clément Rousseau at the Bobcat EMEA campus in Dobris in the Czech Republic.

They discuss its new range with a unique cab design, which supports better operator visibility in what is a very compact machine.

In this case, Peter and Clément were talking about the Bobcat TR60.260, which can reach 26 metres high with a single telescopic extension supported by its scissor stabilisers.

Clement: “The new machine is already proving very popular with operators who are loving the cab and easier access.

"The machine itself has a small footprint and three steering modes with semi-automatic wheel realignment, wheel steering, 4 wheel steering and Crab-steer.”

Key specifications also include: 

• Large in-cab tablet
• Twin Power option enables independent operation for a quiet and eco-friendly work environment
• Rated Capacity of 6000kg
• Rated power of 100kW / 136hp
• Maximum Reach of 22.2m
• Unladen weight of 19600kg
• Maximum speed 40km/h

Peter added: "And I can certainly say that the ride up in the man basket was very smooth, and the ride down safely to the ground was very welcome." Bobcat will also be at Hillhead show from 25th-27th June on stand CE16 with a range of products on display.
