A turbo-charged, liquid-cooled Bobcat engine packs a powerful punch for just about any job. It’s side-mounted for better visibility and easier maintenance access. Both the sides and the bottom of the engine are protected with a thick steel frame, while rubber-engine mounts reduce shock during all-terrain use. It also meets air emission requirements without requiring a diesel particulate filter, and in turn, reduces servicing downtime. The built-in cyclonic air prefilter with automatic dust evacuation helps maximize uptime by cutting down filter clogging to ensure efficient engine cooling in dusty environments.

Easy-to-read instrumentation panel on the VersaHANDLER® telescopic tool carrier gives you an edge in equipment operation. The backlit display panel monitors major functions, letting you know exactly how the machine is performing. The panel also features intuitive attachment controls, operation lights, warnings and an hour meter for quick service checks.

With speed management, you can adjust your travel speed independently from your engine speed. Set your engine speed to the optimal setting for the attachment that you're operating, then dial in your desired travel speed. It's especially helpful when operating attachments that require a slow and consistent travel speed while maintaining high engine speeds, such as a flail cutter, snowblower, soil conditioner or angle broom. Use speed management to control the maximum travel speed at any given pedal position.

With controls similar to an automobile, the heavy-duty industrial hydrostatic transmission makes operation easy. It provides high wheel torque for digging and pushing. Other features of the hydrostatic transmission include 2-Speed ranges with shift-on-the-fly, speed management, and dynamic braking.

2-Speed travel gives you flexibility for improved work and better maneuverability. VersaHANDLER telehandlers can achieve faster travel speeds across your jobsite, reducing your travel time across job sites .

The versatility of the two-stage, low-profile boom is endless. Reach into the highest trucks or over fences, stockpile and stack materials, or backfill hard-to-reach areas. In addition to providing excellent reach at maximum lift height, the boom’s rear pivot position also gives you superior digging ability.

Excellent for dusty and light-material applications, the optional reversible fan gives you the ability to keep the radiator area cleaner for longer. In either auto or purge mode, the system will reverse and purge the system of dust and debris. This extends productivity and uptime, and reduces the immediate need to clean debris by hand.

Quickly view the boom angle when lifting loads. The indicator’s large numbering makes it easy to accurately see the angle, even from a distance. It measures the angle from -10 to 75 degrees.

No other machine in its class can offer more maneuverability than the VersaHANDLER® telescopic tool carrier. Auto-steering alignment provides assistance when adjusting the wheels, eliminating the hassle of aligning the front and rear wheels separately. Three steering modes, including all-wheel, crab and front-wheel steer, further extend maneuverability while working in cramped quarters.
