Bobcat has equipped its latest telehandler with several standard performance and productivity boosting features
Bobcat’s new TL623 telehandler is a telescopic tool carrier loaded with performance and comfort features not found on other machines as standard equipment.
The TL623 offers the extended reach and lift capacity of a heavy-duty telescoping boom combined with Bobcat’s multi-attachment versatility enabling operators to go beyond pick-and-place tasks.
“The TL623 gives operators the flexibility to accomplish a variety of demanding tasks with superior precision and efficiency,” said Jamison Wood, Bobcat Product Development Specialist.
“It’s ideal for agriculture, construction, landscaping, snow removal and many other applications that require a high-performing and versatile tool carrier.”
The TL623 has a lift capacity of 2,721 kg and a lift height of 7 metres to deliver power and productivity with every demanding lift cycle.
The advanced Tier 4, turbo-charged engine is emission compliant without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). Operators will also appreciate the engine’s reliable cold weather starting, along with a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.
Five operation modes
Five operation modes give operators the flexibility required for a wide variety of applications. These modes include:
- Eco mode allows operators to maintain hydraulic performance without using the engine’s full power—working with lower rpm, less noise and lower fuel consumption.
- Smooth drive modeis ideal for maneuvering across job sites with mild acceleration and deceleration while carrying loads.
- Dynamic drive modeincreases responsiveness of the telehandler’s acceleration and deceleration for traveling between tasks.
- Flex drive modeallows the operator to manage the engine speed independently from travel speed.
- Advanced attachment control modeallows for full auxiliary hydraulic performance.
More standard features
The TL623 is loaded with performance and comfort features designed to increase productivity. Along with the five operation modes, the telehandler also comes standard with the following performance-enhancing features:
- Four steering modes for application-matched maneuverability.
- The Bobcat Smart Handling System for tailored boom movements via controls on the joystick.
- Power Bob-Tach mounting system for quick and easy attachment changes.
- A spacious, high-visibility cab with an efficient HVAC system, an easy-to-read control panel, intuitive controls, an air-suspension seat and an LCD screen that provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring capabilities.
- Automatic Ride Control for reduced material spillage and faster travel speeds.
- 7-Pin Attachment Control Device (ACD) for additional control and functionality in select attachments.
Telehandler comfort and operability
The cab features excellent ergonomics, a comfortable air-suspension seat, efficient HVAC system and an easy-to-read 127-mm LCD display panel. Bobcat telehandler cabs are designed and tested to Roll-Over Protection Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) level II standards.
A single, intuitive joystick controls the travel direction, lift and tilt functions, boom extension and auxiliary hydraulics. This gives the operator fine adjustment for lifting loads with care. It also allows operators to manage several machine functions at the same time, enabling more precise control and higher productivity without having to remove their hand from the joystick.

Fingertip control access makes operation comfortable and easy. On the front side of the joystick, the directional switch for forward, neutral and reverse can be operated with the index finger. The 2-speed travel switch, lift-arm float, boom extension, machine function settings and auxiliary hydraulics are located on the rear of the joystick.
The telehandler’s low-profile boom sits below operator eye level to provide an open view of the surroundings.
Front, top and rear window wipers help keep windows free of debris and precipitation. Mirrors on the operator’s left and right provide added visibility when working in confined areas. An optional rear mirror kit, rear view camera kit and boom work light kit also are available.
Uptime and serviceability
The TL623 telehandler is built with a robust box-welded frame for enhanced rigidity, plus a low centre of gravity for optimal stability. The shielded bottom plate protects vital components, while the engine, cooling system and critical components are protected within the centre of the chassis, minimizing wear and tear due to job site obstacles or harsh terrain.
Engine compartment accessibility puts routine maintenance checks, filters and other engine components in easy reach, as well as the oil filter and other service points.
Thanks to the Bob-Tach mounting system, telehandler operators can share select attachments with other Bobcat equipment for even greater versatility.
The TL623 telehandler will be available across North America in the fourth quarter of 2024.
