Bobcat TL30.60 Specifications

Basic Information

The Bobcat TL30.60 telehandler is a compact, powerful, and highly maneuverable material-handling machine designed for professional operations in construction, agriculture, industrial yards, landscaping, and municipal services. With its 3,000-kg (6,614-lb) rated lift capacity and 5.96-6.0-meter (19 ft 7 in) maximum lift height, the TL30.60 offers a balance of strength, stability, visibility, and compact physical dimensions that outperform many similar-sized telehandlers.

The machine’s combination of permanent 4WD, four steering modes, high-flow hydraulics, and a reinforced boom design make it suitable for daily pallet handling, bulk loading, bale stacking, material placement, small-space operations, and attachment-based work.

This model is equipped with the Bobcat D34 turbocharged diesel engine, a modern powerplant designed for high reliability, optimized fuel consumption, strong torque at low rpm, and emissions compliance. The D34 engine is widely used across Bobcat’s R-Series telehandler lineup due to its robust design, simplified servicing, and dependable performance in long-duty cycles. Paired with a hydrostatic transmission, the TL30.60 provides precise control at low speeds as well as smooth acceleration for site mobility.

The telehandler’s reinforced chassis, protected hydraulic routing, sealed axles, and heavy-duty boom design improve durability. The ergonomically designed R-Series cab provides excellent forward visibility, reduced noise and vibration, improved all-weather comfort, intuitive controls, and a high-quality operator interface. The Power Quick-Tach attachment system enables rapid tool changes, improving productivity across multiple job types.

Engine Specs

The Bobcat TL30.60 features the Bobcat D34 diesel engine, a 3.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine engineered to provide smooth performance, high torque output, and lower emissions. The engine is tuned for telehandler duty cycles where frequent lifting, idling, and variable load work require predictable and stable torque at moderate rpm.
