Bobcat TL470 Specifications
The Bobcat TL470 is a high-performance mid-capacity
telehandler engineered for industrial, agricultural, and construction operations
requiring powerful lifting capability, dependable rough-terrain mobility, and
highly responsive hydraulic performance. Designed as part of Bobcat’s advanced
R-Series telescopic handler platform, the TL470 provides a strong combination of
strength, maneuverability, operator comfort, and mechanical durability.
Its nominal lifting capacity of approximately
3,500 kg (7,700 lb), maximum lift height of roughly 7.0 meters (22.9
ft), and forward reach near 3.7-4.1 meters (12.1-13.4 ft) make it a
versatile machine for material transport, pallet handling, bucket
operations, bale movement, loading platforms, and general heavy-site
applications.
Depending on production year and market, the TL470 is equipped with
either the Perkins 1104D-44TA or the Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 diesel engine.
Both engines provide high torque output, efficient fuel consumption, and
the durability needed for continuous-duty operation. The Perkins
1104D-44TA offers rugged mechanical reliability with a turbo-intercooled
configuration that enhances mid-range pulling power, while the Deutz TCD
3.6 L4 delivers modern high-pressure fuel injection, refined combustion,
and improved emissions compliance. Both engines support the hydrostatic
drivetrain and high-capacity hydraulic system to ensure excellent
operational stability and load responsiveness.
Operators appreciate the TL470’s ergonomic cabin visibility, smooth
hydrostatic control response, modular joystick operation, enhanced boom
stability, and robust traction performance across uneven terrain.
Maintenance personnel value the easy-to-service powertrain layout, large
access doors, centralized lubrication points, and durable drivetrain
components. The TL470 is built for long-term reliability in harsh
working conditions, offering low downtime, predictable maintenance
intervals, and high operational efficiency.
The Bobcat TL470 is powered by either the Perkins
1104D-44TA turbocharged diesel engine or the Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 turbocharged
common-rail diesel engine. Both engines deliver strong low-speed torque, stable
temperature management, and excellent fuel economy.
