R&B Joinery has taken Scotland’s first Bobcat T36120SL telehandler

The T36120SL is equipped with front stabilisers, as well as 12 degrees of hydraulic frame-levelling with boom angles of up to 50 degrees, or four degrees for higher boom elevations. Part of the latest generation of Bobcat telehandlers the T36120SL features the new panoramic cab with digital display and new joystick with integrated forward/reverse controls.

Alistair Brownie, managing director of R & B Joinery, said: “As a busy building contractor working in the rugged countryside of Aberdeenshire and the Highlands, we always have a requirement for telehandlers for fork lift duties on the different types of terrain we encounter when building properties in the area. With both the Bobcat frame-levelling and stabiliser systems on the machine, the T36120SL allows us to work with great confidence on whatever surface we have to deal with. The T36120SL is also a compact telehandler, with a much better turning circle than on other telehandlers. We were also impressed by the Bobcat plant in France.”
