Concept Bobcat telehandler

At the recent Intermat exhibition held in Paris, Bobcat showed a concept electric telehandler powered by liquid-cooled batteries.

The TL25.60e, which is still in development and not yet commercially available, has a rated operating capacity of 2.5 tonnes, matching the performance offered by its diesel-powered equivalent, states the manufacturer.

Having three separated electric motors, hydrostatic transmission, a maximum speed of 15mph and the same compact dimensions as the conventional Bobcat TL25.60 model, the machine is designed to deliver low noise levels and minimal operating costs.

Serge Boyer, Product Manager for Telehandlers, Bobcat EMEA, said: “Just like its diesel-powered counterpart, the Bobcat TL25.60e has been built with versatility at its core. Thanks to its compact footprint, low noise levels and zero-emission operations, this concept telehandler is suitable for a diverse range of applications, including work on confined job sites and in city centres.”
