Bobcat Telehandler chosen for turf production

Bayernrasen, based in Schwabhausen in Bavaria in Germany, has been a leading producer of rolled turf in the region since 2002.

Owner Roderich Graf von Beust now relies on a new Bobcat TL30.60 telehandler for daily work in both the cultivation and depot areas of the business.

The compact and powerful Bobcat machine has proved to be a valuable alternative for the compact wheel loaders that the Bavarian company would traditionally have used for these applications.

The new Bobcat TL30.60 is in daily use and can work up to 500 hours a year. The capabilities of the telehandler are ably demonstrated in various loading jobs at the depot, where it now handles around 95% of these applications.

“The wide wheelbase, the low centre of gravity, the 100 HP output and the cushioned telescopic arm enable quiet and safe work. Because of the machine's own weight and the cushioning in the telescopic arm, the pallets of turf, weighing up to 1.5 tonne, can be safely transported and lifted without any danger of loader boom swinging,” explains Graf von Beust, who uses the machine himself every day.

In contrast to a compact wheel loader, the telehandler also has ergonomic advantages. Graf von Beust added: “A major feature is the low, almost ground level entry to get in the cab. Since you save two to three steps when getting in, the risk of accidents is reduced when getting in and out, which can happen up to 30 times per day."
