Doosan Bobcat’s growing range on display at SaMoTer 2017

  The Doosan Bobcat stand at SaMoTer will offer visitors a great chance to see products

The Doosan Bobcat stand at SaMoTer will offer visitors a great chance to see products representing the complete ranges of both brands. The Korean group's stand at the Verona exposition will have plenty of new products on show, including an ever more complete range of compact excavators and a new range of innovative telehandlers, covered by a standard three-year warranty. The Doosan Bobcat Group is seizing this key opportunity to display a large number of models confirming its commitment to the Italian market, which the Korean group sees as strategic.

Bobcat will be represented by a number of micro and mini-excavators, compact wheel and track loaders and telehandlers. Bobcat will showing why the company has a position of leadership in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) for product performance, quality and lifetime, and will be launching a new range of telehandlers plus a new zero tailswing mini-excavator during the course of the event.

The Doosan line-up will focus more on heavy machines: at Verona, Doosan will be exhibiting crawler and wheeled excavators along with its super-reliable wheel loaders. The presence of a new small excavator model will nevertheless demonstrate Doosan's determination to extend its impressive range in this direction too.

In particular, a new range of rigid chassis telehandlers allows Bobcat to offer 11 different models for the rental and construction sectors, with lift capacities from 2.6 to 4.1 tons and lift heights from 6 to 18 m. High performances are ensured by the new Bobcat D34 Stage IV/Tier 4 Final (55.2 or 74.5 kW) compliant diesel engine developed in-house. The machines will be designated using a new naming system: the TL26.60 and TL30.60 compact telescopic loaders; the TL35.70, T35.105, T35.105L and T36.120SL middle lift telehandlers; the T35.130S and T35.140S rental industry-oriented telehandlers;the T35.130SLP, T41.140SLP and T40.180SLP high lift telehandlers.

Other important performance aspects of the new range include: onthe TL26.60 and TL30.60, these are available with two different overall machine heights with a cab which can be mounted in two different ways – in a low position that results in the very low 2.1 m height or a higher position to optimise visibility; on the TL35.70, replacing the TL470, there is an improved load chart providing an additional 500 kg (3500 kg) of lifting capacity at the maximum lifting height (6.97 m).

There are also a number of tried and tested smart operating features still offered as standard: the SMS (Speed Management System), which allows the travel speed to be adjusted independently of the engine speed; the SHS (Smart Handling System), which allows the speed of the boom movements (lifting, telescoping and tilting) to be adjusted, depending on the type of work being carried out; the AFM (Auxiliary Flow Management), which allows the hydraulic output to be adjusted to match attachment requirements and to set a continuous flow; the FCS (Fast Connect System), which provides quick and easy interchange of hydraulic attachments via an integrated pressure-release system.
