Bobcat TL470 HF Specifications
The Bobcat TL470 HF is a high-flow, high-performance
mid-capacity telehandler designed for intense lifting, loading, and
material-handling operations in construction, agriculture, industrial sites, and
heavy-duty logistics environments. The “HF” designation stands for High Flow,
indicating that this model is equipped with an enhanced hydraulic system that
delivers significantly faster boom cycle times, quicker response under load, and
greater overall operating efficiency compared to standard variants.
With a rated lifting capacity of 3,500 kg
(7,716 lb) and a maximum lifting height of approximately 7.0 meters
(22.9 ft), the TL470 HF is engineered to perform demanding tasks such as
pallet stacking, bulk material handling, bucket loading, bale transport,
and structural placement.
The TL470 HF is powered by either the Perkins 1104D-44TA or the Deutz
TCD 3.6 L4 industrial diesel engines. The Perkins engine provides rugged
mechanical stability, high torque at low rpm, and proven reliability in
harsh conditions. The Deutz engine offers advanced common-rail
injection, excellent combustion efficiency, improved cold-start
performance, and lower fuel consumption. Both engines provide strong
torque curves ideal for driving the high-flow hydraulic pump system and
maintaining consistent power throughout long duty cycles.
The machine features a reinforced welded-steel chassis, high-capacity
hydraulic circuits, a smooth hydrostatic driveline, robust planetary
axles, and an advanced operator cabin with improved visibility and
ergonomic controls. Its compact form allows maneuvering in confined
areas while still offering industry-leading load capacity and
cycle-speed performance. Maintenance personnel value the easily
accessible service compartments, centralized grease points, protected
hydraulic routing, advanced cooling systems, and simplified diagnostics.
The TL470 HF represents a durable, long-life telehandler capable of
delivering peak productivity in demanding work environments.
The TL470 HF can be fitted with one of two diesel
engines depending on production year and market: the Perkins 1104D-44TA or the
Deutz TCD 3.6 L4. Both engines deliver powerful, fuel-efficient performance
suitable for high-flow hydraulic applications.
