Bobcat TL923 - Telehandler

The Z-bar boom linkage is designed for high load performance, giving operators an optimized dump angle for easy dumping and more breakout force to lift material out of a pile. The Z-bar boom linkage gives you:  

The TL923 offers a maximum rated capacity of 9,041 pounds and a lift height of 23 feet. 

The Bobcat TL923 telehandler features an advanced Tier 4 turbo-charged engine that delivers powerful, high-torque performance, excellent efficiency and achieves emissions compliance without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF). Operators will also appreciate the engine’s reliable cold weather starting and a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.

Bobcat telescopic loaders offer a heavy-duty hydrostatic transmission that delivers smooth, quick power when you need it and high wheel torque for digging and pushing. Operation is safe and easy, with many additional features to help you get the job done quickly and efficiently.

The TL923 hydraulic system is designed for faster boom speeds and heavier lifting, giving you extra power for smoother control when loaded and the fastest boom cycle times possible when empty. You can achieve faster boom movement at a lower rpm with improved multi-functioning capability. 

A patented hydraulic lift system provides advanced high-flow technology to optimize lift capabilities while providing high-speed movement – plus unrivaled multi-functioning performance during the lift cycle. 

For durability and confidence when working on the most intensive jobs, Bobcat telehandlers are equipped with reinforced heavy-duty axles with large lug nuts and reinforced central differential gear.  

Bobcat telehandlers have four steering modes to give you tailored maneuverability for every application. 

Five operation modes give you the versatility you need for a wide variety of applications: 

The TL923 offers a low range and high range, and each range features two-speed travel, giving operators four speeds for greater productivity. The TL923 produces a maximum travel speed of about 25 mph.

Turbo-charged Tier 4 Bobcat engines achieve optimum tractive force, giving these telehandlers impressive pushing power in their size classes.

The heavy-duty lift cylinder allows for more capacity and improved lifting performance. 

The bucket or attachment positioning feature speeds up material handling and boosts productivity. It prevents spillage when raising and lowering the boom to ensure consistent, productive attachment performance. 

The low-profile telescopic boom gives you the power to access a wide range of lift heights and reach lengths. Another key advantage is the low profile of the boom and rear pivot point. The boom profile provides increased visibility to the operator’s right side. The low boom pivot point in the rear helps make it a powerful machine when pushing. As the machine pushes, more of the weight stays on the front axle.

As a standard feature on the TL623, TL723, TL923 and an option on the TL519, automatic ride control reduces material spillage and enables operators to travel at faster speeds for increased productivity.

Auxiliary hydraulic couplers with integrated pressure release are located conveniently on the boom head, enabling operators to change hydraulic attachments quickly and easily. 

Operators can set the amount of continuous auxiliary hydraulic flow – up to 100% – to achieve the attachment performance that’s necessary for optimal productivity.

Dual direction detent allows hydraulic flow to be engaged continuously, in either direction, without holding a switch. This gives operators more flexibility in using hydraulic-powered attachments. 

The large-diameter tires have an aggressive all-terrain tread that won’t bog down in soft ground conditions.

Enable the boom float while moving on uneven ground for smooth performance with attachments. Float in reverse to finish grading with a bucket. 

The standard counterweight provides for greater load and reach capacity.

Bobcat has designed all its telehandlers with the same robust box-welded frame for enhanced rigidity – plus a low-center of gravity – for optimal stability. Its shielded bottom plate protects vital components. 

A few moments after you turn off your machine, the battery is automatically disconnected, preventing accidental battery discharge.

The radiator, oil cooler and intake air coolers are mounted side by side, carefully located to receive the same quality and temperature of air, which provides efficient, consistent cooling ability, even in the most severe and dirty conditions.

The built-in cyclonic air prefilter with automatic dust evacuation helps maximize uptime. The technology cuts down filter clogging and ensures efficient engine cooling in dusty environments. 

Bobcat telehandlers are designed with a combination of specific features to maximize reliability in even the most severe conditions, including high-tensile steel, U-welded shapes, integrated boom head and robust wear pads.

The engine compartment provides an enclosed environment to help shut out dust and debris, ensuring long component life.

Excellent for dusty and light-material applications, the reversible fan gives you the ability to keep the radiator cleaner for longer.  

Cylinders are strategically located in areas that are less prone to damaging contact on the job, protecting them from harm. 

The engine cover screen helps prevent large debris from entering the engine basket and plugging the radiator.

Diesel is contained in a durable rust-free, polypropylene fuel tank to minimize condensation and contamination of the fuel system.

Bobcat telehandlers monitor engine and hydraulic functions. If conditions risk damage to the engine or hydraulic components, the system will alert the operator and, if necessary, de-rate engine power as well as hydraulic flow. It still allows the operator to move the telehandler to an area for diagnosis.

The engine access panel resists damage from impact and retains its good looks for years, thanks to its flexible, resilient and rust-free composite construction.

The boom pivot features thick steel reinforcement for enhanced durability and long life. Heavy-duty enclosed frame welds offer additional support throughout the frame. 

Many telehandler parts are the same ones used in other Bobcat products for better parts availability and minimal downtime. 

Designed to protect you and your investment in the toughest conditions, the optional front and top window guards protect your machine from falling and flying debris.

A protected engine on Bobcat telehandlers starts with a thick steel frame that covers both sides and the bottom of the engine. Rubber engine mounts reduce shock on difficult terrain.

Bobcat telehandlers were carefully designed to incorporate sleek and efficient styling and great visibility.  

Bobcat has designed its telehandler cabs to provide even more operator comfort and ease of operation. The telehandler cab builds upon the Bobcat tradition of operator-centered design with high visibility, excellent ergonomics, a comfortable suspension seat, efficient HVAC system and an easy-to-read instrumentation panel. For all-day operation, the comfort built into Bobcat telehandlers can’t be beat.

Bobcat telehandler cabs are designed and tested to roll-over protection structure (ROPS) and falling object protective structure (FOPS level II) standards.

Convenient, intuitive and easy to find, the telehandler’s controls make operation easy and productive.

The TL723 and TL923 have a unique wrap-around rear window that gives the operator a good view to the side and rear of the machine.

An industry-leading joystick sets Bobcat telehandlers apart. A single intuitive joystick controls the travel direction, lift and tilt functions, boom extension, and auxiliary hydraulics. This gives the operator the ability to accurately lift loads. It also allows operators to control several machine functions at the same time and from one control point, enabling more precise control and higher productivity without having to remove their hand from the joystick. 

As your air suspension seat moves up and down, the joystick moves with the seat for added comfort and enhanced controllability during operation. Operators can adjust the joystick vertically to their preferred position.

With tilt and telescopic steering wheel functionality, the steering wheel can be adjusted to find the perfect position for any operator.

When you cycle through different steering modes, the Bobcat telehandler wheel alignment system semi-automatically reorients your wheels to quickly and easily transition between front-wheel, all-wheel, crab steer and semi-crab steer. 

Combine precision with productivity, thanks to the Bobcat smart handling system. This unique system allows the operator to easily adjust the speed of the boom movements (lift, tilt, telescope) via controls on the joystick. It’s the perfect solution when you need high engine power and precise boom motions, helping you adapt to the work you need to perform.

The boom cushioning system makes it easier to confidently handle your load, allowing for smoother motion as the boom angles to its minimum or maximum pitch or when the boom reaches full retraction.

The standard 5-inch LCD display provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities from right in the cab. Diagnostics and detailed operation information you can access through the display include monitoring, troubleshooting and error conditions.  

LED work lights are strategically positioned on the machine – two on the front of the cab, one on the rear of the cab and one on the right, rear frame – giving you the light you need to work in dark environments or finish a long day that extends into evening hours. 

Bobcat telehandlers include standard high- and low-beam headlights, turn signals, four-way flashers, brake lights, and reverse lights.

The TL923 features a high-comfort heated air suspension seat, which adjusts to the operator’s weight, enabling maximum comfort for a long day’s work.  

The keyless start option gives you the convenience of keyless start and the added security of an owner-defined numeric code. Eliminate downtime due to lost keys. Remove the risk of spare keys in the pockets of current or former employees. Reduce the chance of theft or unauthorized use. You might even reduce your insurance premiums.

Bobcat telehandlers come radio ready with wiring, speakers and an antenna. A quick and easy install of this stereo system will enhance your operating experience. 

Hydraulic hoses are carefully routed to minimize exposure to friction and contact with jobsite objects and obstacles.

A cushioning spring suspension isolates and reduces vibration inside the cab and improves ride quality.

The rear window provides an emergency exit, and the split door allows you to work with open windows for easier communication on the job.

The AC unit is integrated into the machine; there’s no bulky add-on unit to get in your way. The vents allow you to point the air where you need it, providing greater comfort in all weather conditions. 

The telehandler’s dynamic braking system will decelerate and stop the machine as soon as you let your foot off the accelerator pedal – unlike a torque converter-style transmission that coasts before coming to a complete stop. This gives you maximum control on slopes where you can easily inch your way up or down without having to apply the brake. 

When you release the accelerator pedal as the engine idles, the telehandler parking brake automatically engages for operator convenience.  

Slowing down the machine to load a truck or carefully maneuver around obstacles should not slow down hydraulic performance.  

The side-by-side mounted radiator, oil cooler and fan provide a clean engine compartment layout for easy access. Dirt and debris removal is quick and simple whenever cleaning is necessary. 

Uptime protection is critical for a machine this versatile, and it starts with a double-element air cleaner system. 

Nylon wear pads on the inside corners of the extendable boom allow for better guidance and reduce free play of the boom. They’re easily adjustable and require minimal servicing and greasing. 

Easy accessibility to the engine compartment makes routine maintenance checks simple.

The oil filter and other service points are conveniently located for easy access and simple, fast serviceability. 

The TL923 offers a low range and high range, and each range features two-speed travel, giving operators four speeds for greater productivity. The TL923 produces a maximum travel speed of about 25 mph.

The power quick-tach attachment mounting system provides robust compact attachment versatility.  

Fingertip control access makes it easy and comfortable to operate Bobcat telehandlers.
