The new T35100L telehandler has replaced the older of the company’s two existing Bobcat T3093CD telehandlers purchased in 2003. Its younger T3093CD model continues to work on the company’s housing projects.
Equipped with pallet fork attachments, the Bobcat telehandlers are used for general material handling and lifting and positioning of pallets containing bricks, concrete blocks, slate and plasterboard and for handling lintels, roof trusses, pipework and other components.
Sunnybanks Homes construction director Andrew Walsh said: “We have been very pleased with the performance of the Bobcat T3093CD telehandlers, which have been perfect for the compact sites we are working on. When we came to replace the oldest machine, the excellent track record was obviously a factor, but after a thorough examination of all the makes of this size of telehandler on the market, we chose the Bobcat T35100L model because it offers the feature of frame levelling on the axles, an aspect of the T3093CD that we found very useful. The T35100L model was the largest telehandler we could purchase with this feature in place.”
The T35100L telehandler has a lift capacity of 2500 kg at the maximum lift height of 10.09m working on tyres alone. The lift capacity at the maximum reach of 6.91 m for the T35100L is 600kg when working on tyres. Powered by the 74.5 kW Perkins 1104D-44TA Turbo diesel engine, the T35100L model with frame-levelling is one of three different versions of this telehandler. The top-of-the-range T35100SL model incorporates both stabilisers and the frame-levelling system and the third version is the T35100 model, with no frame-levelling and no stabilisers.
The frame levelling system in the T35100L telehandler allows lateral tilt correction as well as a vertical positioning of the boom on rough terrain. For safe frame levelling at any boom angle, two frame-levelling speeds are available.
