Bobcat V923 Specifications
The Bobcat V923 VersaHANDLER telehandler is one of
Bobcat’s highest-capacity telescopic handlers, engineered for heavy-duty
material handling, extended reach operations, and demanding industrial,
agricultural, and construction environments requiring consistent performance,
reliability, and strength. With a rated lift capacity of 9,000 lb (4,082 kg) and
a maximum lift height of 277 inches (7.04 meters), the V923 stands as a powerful
combination of compact maneuverability, heavy-lift capability, and advanced
hydraulic and drivetrain systems. The machine is optimized for tasks such as
loading trucks, stacking heavy pallets, handling bulk materials, operating large
buckets or grapples, and performing attachment-based operations requiring high
hydraulic flow.
The V923 combines a robust 130-Hp turbocharged diesel engine with a heavy-duty
hydrostatic transmission, permanent four-wheel drive, planetary reduction axles,
and a reinforced telescopic boom featuring a Z-bar linkage system. This gives
the V923 exceptional breakout forces, fast cycle times, and the strength
necessary for bucket-intensive applications in addition to traditional
forklift-style lifting.
The integrated Power Quick-Tach attachment
interface further expands operational versatility by enabling rapid
attachment changes without cumbersome manual pin removal, making the
V923 a multi-role machine capable of replacing or supplementing wheel
loaders, forklifts, and lower-capacity telehandlers.
The enclosed cab offers superior operator comfort, featuring wide
visibility, ergonomic joystick controls, HVAC options, sealed wiring,
heavy-duty seating, and accessible service panels. Maintenance is
simplified through easily accessible service points, side-mounted
cooling modules, reversible cooling fans, and consolidated daily
inspection zones. When properly maintained, the V923 provides long-term
durability, predictable handling, and operational efficiency in rigorous
workloads.
The Bobcat V923 uses a 130-Hp turbocharged diesel
engine designed to deliver high torque under load, minimal turbo lag, and
efficient fuel use. While Bobcat does not release all engine-specific data
publicly, the engine characteristics align with a 3.4-liter, 4-cylinder,
turbocharged industrial diesel with electronically controlled fuel delivery.
