Bobcat telescopic loader TL43.80HF AGRI, versatility between olive trees

Posted: 12 December 2022

Cultius Ponç is a company based in Sant Celoni (Barcelona) specializing in the growing of olive trees, Mediterranean plants, palms, shrubs, conifers, fruit trees and a wide range of avenue trees. Its nursery, which has over 70 hectares dedicated to growing, boasts exemplary oleas, as well as unique species that they export worldwide. Furthermore, they are experts in all types of Mediterranean plants.

High loading capacity at height, with large specimens

Cultivos Ponç has just acquired a Bobcat telescopic loader TL43.80HF AGRI for day-to-day tasks at its facilities. They were looking for a large loading capacity, at a height of 8 m, which is why this model turned out to be ideal.

The Bobcat TL43.80HF AGRI is the solution for heavy-duty, high productivity work. It is designed for intensive loading work, with unprecedented levels in terms of lift capacity, lifting height and break out force.

Ponç Carreras, the manager of Cultius Ponç, explains: “Working with telehandlers helps us to minimize the amount of time it takes to load the plants, as we load large plants using a crane, which is much slower. The Bobcat TL43.80HF AGRI handler has to access the selected specimen through the corridors of trees, operate between the trees without damaging them, load the specimen, transport it and then transfer it to the truck bed. We’re talking about moving plants and trees in confined spaces. We therefore need power combined with maneuverability in a compact machine.”

2.36 m wide with 460/70 R24 tires and less than 5 m long from the rear to the front of the fork and with a turning radius of 3.71 m, the TL43.80HF AGRI model meets all of these requirements.

Greater precision and enhanced visibility from the cab

The main advantage of this model compared to other machines for doing the same job is its exceptional precision, which it owes to the hydraulics and the 190 l/min pump. Its generous cab also stands out, with greater visibility than other manufacturers.

“The inside of the cab is very comfortable and features extensive equipment, and the control panel is highly intuitive and easy to use. We also like the “Ride Control” (suspension in the arm cylinders), which prevents material from falling onto the road when we are carrying a load, and the operator finds handling the machine more comfortable.

The Bobcat telescopic loader TL43.80HF AGRI allows us to handle and transport the wide variety of trees that we grow, and to load them onto trucks. We can work with large specimens and smaller plants.
