For the past two years, the Bobcat TL25.60 telehandler has been proving its capabilities across construction and agricultural applications in Europe — and now, this compact powerhouse has arrived on Australian shores for the first time.
The latest addition to Bobcat’s next-generation R-Series telehandler range, the TL25.60, is designed to deliver versatility and performance in tight working environments.
With a 5.8-metre maximum lift height, 2.5-tonne lift capacity and 4.46-tonne operating weight, it is suited to construction, agriculture, landscaping and rental applications.
Clark Equipment National Telehandler product manager Donald Goodall said there is a strong market for a telehandler of this size.
“These telehandlers will be the first machine on site to move material around, and the last machine off the site.”
Versatility is a key feature, with a standard quick-attach manual hitch and optional hydraulic quick hitch allowing operators to use attachments including pallet forks, buckets, augers, trenchers and sweepers.
The 3.23-metre turning radius also makes the TL25.60 highly manoeuvrable in tight jobsites and confined spaces.
Inside the R-Series cab, operators benefit from smart joystick controls, an interactive display, multiple steering modes and a reverse camera.
Large glass panels provide excellent visibility, while the longitudinal load management indicator sits within the operator’s line of sight.
Power comes from Bobcat’s 75hp (55.2kW) D24 Stage V diesel engine, which operates without AdBlue and is designed for efficient, quieter performance.
A load-sharing hydraulic pump allows multiple functions to be operated simultaneously, helping operators work efficiently.
Backed by Clark Equipment’s extensive Australian dealer network, the TL25.60 combines Bobcat’s operator-focused design with the compact size and versatility needed for demanding worksites.
“I think once people sit in this machine, they’ll be sold,” he said.
