Bobcat TL519 Specifications
The Bobcat TL519 is the most compact full-capacity
telehandler in Bobcat’s modern R-Series lineup. Designed for construction,
agriculture, industrial logistics, rental fleets, and municipal operations, the
TL519 delivers outstanding maneuverability, powerful hydraulic performance,
versatile attachment compatibility, and excellent visibility in tight machine
environments.
With a rated lifting capacity of 2,500 kg
(5,500 lb) and a maximum lift height of approximately 5.87 m (19 ft 3
in), the TL519 bridges the gap between skid-steer agility and
telehandler reach capability. Its narrow width, short overall length,
and precise joystick control make it ideal for material placement,
pallet handling, bucket work, feed handling, bale stacking, jobsite
cleanup, and equipment transport tasks.
The TL519 is powered by a turbocharged 74 hp (56 kW) Bobcat-branded
diesel engine, designed to operate without the need for a diesel
particulate filter (DPF). This simplifies maintenance, reduces exhaust
backpressure, and provides strong torque at low engine speeds. The
engine supports emissions-compliant operation using exhaust gas
recirculation (EGR) and optimized fuel injection. The TL519 is equipped
with a proven hydrostatic transmission, heavy-duty axles, a versatile
hydraulic system with fast boom cycle times, and a reinforced frame
engineered for long-term service. Operator comfort is ensured through a
modern pressurized cab, intuitive control layout, and high-visibility
boom design.
This manual provides a complete, workshop-style description of the
TL519, detailing engine characteristics, drivetrain configuration,
hydraulic capacities, performance data, machine dimensions, operating
geometry, and maintenance intervals. All specifications are based
strictly on verified public data available from Bobcat documentation and
kcbobcat.com, without speculative or unverified engine coding.
The Bobcat TL519 telehandler is equipped with a
turbocharged 74 hp (56 kW) diesel engine employing mechanical and electronic
fuel-management technologies to deliver consistent power for hydrostatic
driving, lifting, and hydraulic functions.
