Bobcat TL26.60 Specifications
The Bobcat TL26.60 is a compact, versatile, and highly
maneuverable telehandler engineered for construction, agriculture, industrial
logistics, and rental-fleet operations requiring a combination of height, reach,
lift capacity, and small physical footprint. With a rated lifting capacity of
2,600 kg (5,732 lb) and a maximum lift height of approximately 6.0 meters (19.7
feet), it fits below larger high-capacity telehandlers yet delivers robust
lifting capability for pallet handling, bale stacking, truck loading, material
movement, and attachment-based operations.
The TL26.60 is available in configurations powered by either the Perkins
1104D-44TA turbocharged diesel engine or Bobcat’s later-generation D34 turbo
diesel. Both engines are designed for reliable industrial duty cycles, strong
low-end torque, and efficient fuel consumption. Perkins engines emphasize
mechanical durability and field-proven reliability, while Bobcat’s D34 engine
optimizes emissions, power density, and electronic fuel delivery for newer
Tier-compliant markets.
The TL26.60 uses a hydrostatic transmission delivering precise low-speed control
combined with adequate travel speed for site mobility. Its four-wheel drive,
multi-mode steering system, compact wheelbase, and tight turning radius allow
operation in tight worksites, warehouses, farm alleys, and urban construction
spaces. The R-Series telehandler cab provides excellent visibility, ergonomic
joystick control, strong HVAC performance, and improved operator comfort, making
the TL26.60 suitable for long duty cycles.
Bobcat’s Power Quick-Tach attachment interface enables the machine to operate
forks, buckets, bale spikes, grapples, sweepers, and other hydraulic tools,
maximizing versatility. The hydraulics are engineered for smooth boom operation,
stable load control, and reliable performance even in heavy daily use. The
machine’s reinforced chassis, strong boom sections, and well-protected
electrical/hydraulic routing support long-term durability.
The TL26.60 is available with two industrial diesel
engine configurations: Perkins 1104D-44TA and Bobcat D34 (Turbocharged Diesel).
Both engines are designed for rugged telehandler applications with strong torque
delivery and reduced operating cost.
