Bobcat TL360 Specifications

Basic Information

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.
