Bobcat TL360 Specifications
The Bobcat TL360 is a compact, highly maneuverable, and
versatile telehandler engineered for demanding construction, agriculture,
material-handling, and industrial logistics environments where strength,
visibility, stability, and operational efficiency are required. As part of
Bobcat’s mid-capacity telescopic handler lineup, the TL360 provides a strong
balance between lifting capability, overall height, reach geometry, and compact
machine dimensions.
With a nominal lifting capacity of
approximately 3,000 kg (6,614 lb), a maximum lifting height reaching
approximately 5.8-6.0 meters (19.0-19.7 ft), and a forward reach nearing
3.0 meters (9.8 ft), the TL360 serves as an ideal multipurpose work
machine for loading, pallet stacking, material movement, bucket
handling, bale manipulation, and general construction support.
Depending on production year and market, the TL360 is equipped with
either the Perkins 1104D-44TA or the Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 diesel engine.
Both engines deliver strong low-rpm torque, reliable cold-start
capability, efficient fuel usage, and excellent thermal stability under
continuous heavy-duty load. The Perkins 1104D-44TA, with its mechanical
fuel system and turbo-intercooled design, is well-known for its long
service life and rugged durability, while the Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 brings
modern high-pressure common-rail injection, lower emissions, improved
vibration characteristics, and high-power density.
The TL360 is built on a reinforced steel chassis with a centrally
mounted boom and optimized weight distribution to ensure safe and stable
handling even when lifting near full capacity. The hydrostatic
transmission delivers smooth directional changes, fine inching
precision, and reliable traction on uneven ground. The machine’s
ergonomic cab layout, intuitive joystick, large sight windows, rear
visibility, and reduced cabin vibration allow operators to work safely
and efficiently. Maintenance personnel also benefit from the
wide-opening service panels, accessible filters, clear component layout,
and simplified diagnostic procedures.
The Bobcat TL360 is fitted with one of two industrial
diesel engines depending on configuration: the Perkins 1104D-44TA or the Deutz
TCD 3.6 L4. Both engines support heavy-duty, high-torque telehandler
applications but differ in displacement, fuel system type, emissions compliance,
and performance characteristics.
