Boosting Speed, Power & Visibility: Bobcat's New TL723, TL923 Telehandlers

Two new models join Bobcat’s R-Series telehandler lineup, the TL723 and the TL923.

Combining speed and power for lifting, stacking, backfilling and reaching, the machines feature redesigned cabs, turbo-charged Tier 4 Final engines and easy-to-access service points.

The 17,155-pound TL723 has a max lift height of 22 feet 10 inches and a 3,308-pound capacity at max reach, which is 13 feet 5 inches.

The beefier TL923 weighs in at 18,158 pounds and has a max lift height of 23 feet 1 inch and a 3,749-pound rated capacity at its max reach of 13 feet 6 inches.

Features on the TL923 include a heavy-duty drivetrain and a patented hydraulic lift system to enhance lift capabilities while providing high-speed movement. Bobcat says the machine delivers many of the same capabilities as a wheel loader, a toolcarrier and a rough-terrain forklift.

Both the TL723 and TL923 feature a Bobcat Tier 4 Final turbo-charged diesel engine, rated at 100 horsepower and 130 horsepower, respectively. The new engine offers more reliable cold weather starting and easier serviceability, and standard automatic ride control reduces material spillage and enables operators to travel faster, the company says.

Five operation modes allow operators to tailor the machine to the application:
