Bobcat Company introduced its new TL623 telehandler, a telescopic tool carrier with premium performance and comfort features.
The TL623 offers the extended reach and lift capacity of a heavy-duty telescoping boom combined with Bobcat’s multi-attachment versatility, allowing operators to tackle a wide range of jobs with one machine.
“The TL623 gives operators the flexibility to accomplish a variety of demanding tasks with superior precision and efficiency,” said Jamison Wood, Bobcat product development specialist. “It’s ideal for agriculture, construction, landscaping, snow removal and many other applications that require a high-performing and versatile tool carrier.”
The TL623 has a lift capacity of 6,000 pounds and a lift height of 23 feet for power and productivity with every lift cycle.
The engine delivers high-torque performance and achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR).
Five operation modes give operators the versatility needed for a wide variety of applications:
- ECO mode allows operators to maintain hydraulic performance without using the engine’s full power, working with lower rpm, less noise and lower fuel consumption.
- Smooth drive mode is ideal for maneuvering across jobsites with mild acceleration and deceleration while carrying loads.
- Dynamic drive mode increases responsiveness of the telehandler’s acceleration and deceleration for traveling between tasks.
- Flex drive mode allows the operator to manage the engine speed independently from travel speed.
- Advanced attachment control mode allows for full auxiliary hydraulic performance.
Along with the five operation modes, it also comes standard with the following performance-enhancing features:
- Four steering modes for application-matched maneuverability.
- The Bobcat Smart Handling System for tailored boom movements via controls on the joystick.
- Power Bob-Tach mounting system for attachment changes.
- A high-visibility cab with an efficient HVAC system, an easy-to-read control panel, intuitive controls, an air-suspension seat and an LCD screen providing full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities.
- Automatic Ride Control for reduced material spillage and faster travel speeds.
- 7-Pin Attachment Control Device (ACD) for additional control in select attachments.
The cab contains operator-centered design with high visibility, ergonomics, a comfortable air-suspension seat, efficient HVAC system and an easy-to-read five-inch LCD display panel. Bobcat telehandler cabs are designed and tested to Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) level II standards.
A joystick controls the travel direction, lift and tilt functions, boom extension and auxiliary hydraulics. It allows operators to manage several machine functions at the same time.
The low-profile boom sits below operator eye level for an open view of the surroundings. Front, top and rear window wipers help keep windows free of debris and precipitation. Mirrors on the operator’s left and right provide added visibility when working in confined areas.
The TL623 is built with a robust box-welded frame and a low center of gravity for stability. The shielded bottom plate protects vital components, while the engine, cooling system and critical components are well-protected within the center of the chassis.
Operators can share select attachments with other Bobcat equipment for versatility. From pallet forks and buckets to grapples and snowblowers, operators can complete tasks without the need for specialty attachments.
The TL623 will be available at Bobcat dealerships across North America in Q4 2024.
