Bobcat TL923 Specifications
The Bobcat TL923 telehandler is a top-tier,
heavy-capacity R-Series machine engineered for demanding construction,
agricultural, industrial, and material-handling environments that require strong
lift performance, high stability, responsive hydraulics, and exceptional
attachment versatility. With a rated lift capacity of 4,100 kg (9,041 lb) and a
maximum lift height of 7.03 m (277 in), the TL923 stands at the upper end of
Bobcat’s telehandler range, bridging the operational characteristics of a wheel
loader, rough-terrain forklift, and telescopic handler into a single, highly
capable platform.
Powered by a robust turbocharged 3.4-liter diesel engine delivering 135 hp
(100.7 kW), the TL923 provides strong tractive force, rapid hydraulic cycle
times, and excellent pushing and digging performance. Its permanent 4-wheel
drive, large-diameter rough-terrain tires, reinforced planetary axles, and
powerful hydrostatic transmission make it ideal for traveling across uneven
terrain, maneuvering in tight job sites, and lifting heavy loads with
confidence. Bobcat designed the TL923 with a high-strength boom, Z-bar linkage
(optional), heavy-duty lift cylinders, and a strong chassis to ensure
reliability in harsh job-site environments.
Operators benefit from the spacious R-Series cab featuring improved sightlines,
an ergonomic joystick, modern digital display, intuitive controls, and
outstanding visibility through the low-profile boom and wide glass area.
Maintenance access is simplified with grouped service points, protected
hydraulic routing, and service-friendly component placement.
The machine’s versatility is enhanced through
compatibility with a wide range of Bobcat attachments including pallet
forks, buckets, grapples, bale handlers, and material-handling tools.
Overall, the TL923 is engineered to deliver power, precision,
durability, and multi-purpose flexibility in the most demanding
applications.
The TL923 is equipped with a Bobcat-branded
turbocharged diesel engine designed to provide high torque, efficient fuel
consumption, and clean emissions while maintaining mechanical simplicity.
