Bobcat’s R-Series Waste Expert telehandlers are setting new benchmarks for efficiency, durability, and operator comfort in the demanding waste management and recycling industries across EMEA.
Building on Bobcat’s expertise in construction and agriculture, the company now offers four dedicated Waste Expert machines designed specifically for waste and recycling applications. These models—based on the TL35.70, TL34.65HF, TL38.70HF, and TL43.80HF—offer lifting capacities ranging from 3.4 to 4.3 tonnes and heights from 6.3 to 7.5 metres. Powered by 74 or 101 kW (99 or 135 HP) engines, these machines combine superior performance with unparalleled reliability for the toughest jobs.
Bobcat’s Waste Expert telehandlers are designed to thrive in the harsh conditions of waste and recycling facilities. Equipped with heavy-duty Dana Spicer axles, reinforced protections, and a box-welded frame, these telehandlers are built to withstand the rigorous demands of waste transfer stations and recycling centres. Features such as an extra-large boom head, high-tensile steel booms, and hydraulic ram protection further enhance durability, while high ground clearance and a full-length bottom plate protect vital components.
“These telehandlers are built for the hardest jobs while maintaining the agility and versatility required in diverse applications,” said Clement Rousseau, Product Manager for Telehandlers. “The HF models, in particular, combine robust build quality with unmatched hydraulic capabilities for enhanced productivity.”
The Waste Expert telehandlers are equipped with Bobcat’s R-Series cab, offering operators a premium workspace. With improved visibility, ergonomic controls, and optimised storage, the cab is designed for all-day comfort. Standout features include a Grammer Maximo Dynamic air suspension seat, backlit colour-coded controls, a touchscreen display, and advanced soundproofing that reduces cabin noise by half.
Operators also benefit from enhanced safety features, such as a rear camera feed displayed automatically when reversing and an electric mirror that can be adjusted from the cab. For night operations, a full LED light pack provides 360° visibility, ensuring efficient and safe operation.
Hydraulic Performance for Maximum Efficiency
The HF (High Flow) models in the Waste Expert range deliver class-leading hydraulic performance with a 190 l/min load-sensing pump and flow-sharing distributor. These features enable operators to work at lower speeds, reducing fuel consumption while achieving faster cycle times. The telescopic boom adds versatility, making these machines ideal for tasks such as lifting bales, loading high-sided trailers, and transferring bulk materials.
Customised Tyres for Optimal Traction and Durability
Bobcat offers a variety of tyre options to match the surfaces encountered at waste and recycling sites. The Michelin BIBLOAD tyre provides wear resistance and a smooth ride, while the Camso TLH 792S solid tyre delivers flat-free operation and exceptional traction, ensuring reliability and safety in demanding environments.
Unmatched Warranty for Peace of Mind
All Bobcat Waste Expert telehandlers come with a standard 3-year (or 3,000-hour) warranty, extendable to 5 years (or 5,000 hours). This industry-leading warranty underscores Bobcat’s commitment to quality and gives customers the confidence to focus on their operations without concerns over equipment reliability.
A Complete Solution for Waste Management and Recycling
Bobcat’s Waste Expert telehandlers embody the company’s philosophy of combining durability, efficiency, and operator-focused design. By offering advanced hydraulic capabilities, reinforced durability, and exceptional operator comfort, these telehandlers are proving indispensable in the waste and recycling industries.
As Clement Rousseau summarised: “With the toughest design on the market, advanced features, and unmatched performance, our Waste Expert Telehandlers are ideally suited for the waste and recycling sectors. They are the ultimate machines for businesses looking to maximise productivity and efficiency in demanding environments.”
