TL519 - 81067

The Bobcat TL519 telehandler is compact in size, but it brings outsized productivity with 5,500 pounds of rated lift capacity and 19.6 feet of lift height.

This model 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) or selective catalyst reduction (SCR). Operators will also appreciate the engine's reliable cold weather starting and a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient.

Turbo-Charged Performance: The turbo-charged engine provides consistently high torque levels, regardless of the elevation of any worksite.

Simple, State of the Art and Non-DPF: One of the biggest advantages of our Tier 4 engine is simplicity. The Bobcat engine meets Tier 4 regulations without a DPF or SCR, reducing downtime from DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs — so operators can focus on working.

Bobcat telehandlers 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.

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

• All-wheel steer allows you to make quick and tight turns.
• Front-wheel steer is your standard steering mode, with the front wheels controlling the direction of the machine.
• Crab steer takes your maneuverability one step further by allowing precise side-to-side positioning.
• Semi-crab steer lets operators set the rear wheels in a crab position while steering with the front wheels.

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

• ECO Mode: Maintain hydraulic performance without using the engine's full power – work with lower rpm, less noise and lower fuel consumption. Toggle on/off from a control-panel button.
• Smooth Drive Mode: Shift from dynamic to smooth drive for a smoother response to acceleration and deceleration, enhancing precision at lower speeds.
• Dynamic Drive Mode: Take full advantage of the telehandler's high productivity with increased responsiveness to acceleration and deceleration.
• Flex Drive Mode: Use the engine speed lever to manage travel speed independently from engine speed for a new level of efficiency and precision.
• Advanced Attachment Control Mode: Control engine and travel speed separately for full auxiliary hydraulic performance. Set drive-speed increments from 1 to 99 for the ideal mix of attachment performance and machine control; an attachment travel mode lets you switch to faster travel on the fly and back.

The TL519 has standard two-speed travel for improved productivity during work and travel. A convenient button on the joystick lets the operator easily change speed modes on or between jobsites.

• Travel: In travel speed, the TL519 can move across large jobsites or to another jobsite at speeds as high as 17 mph.
• Work: In low range, operators have maximum pushing power at higher engine rpm, matching tractive effort to ground conditions for balanced performance and precise control during routine loading and material handling.

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

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. The boom profile provides increased visibility to the operator's right side, and the low rear pivot point helps make it a powerful machine when pushing — as the machine pushes, more of the weight stays on the front axle.

An option on the TL519, automatic ride control reduces material spillage and enables faster travel for increased productivity, with a dampening effect that smooths the ride across uneven terrain. It deactivates at low travel speed to give you maximum rated load capacity, then resumes as you get back up to speed.

Auxiliary hydraulic couplers with integrated pressure release are conveniently located 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 necessary for optimal productivity.

Dual-direction detent allows hydraulic flow to be engaged continuously, in either direction, without holding a switch — giving operators more flexibility with 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.

The integrated lift eye gives you a convenient method for handling objects and materials around the jobsite.

Bobcat designs all of its telehandlers with the same robust box-welded frame for enhanced rigidity – plus a low center of gravity for optimal stability. The engine, cooling system and many critical components are well-protected within the center of the chassis, ensuring minimal wear and tear from jobsite obstacles or harsh terrain.

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 even in the most severe and dirty conditions.

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

Bobcat telehandlers combine specific features to maximize reliability in even the most severe conditions, including high-tensile steel, U-welded shapes, an 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 automatic reversible fan keeps the radiator area cleaner for longer. Flip a switch to reverse the cooling fan or set it to automatically reverse at 30-, 45-, 60- or 90-minute intervals to purge the system of dust and debris.

Cylinders are strategically located in areas 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, the system alerts the operator and, if necessary, de-rates engine power and hydraulic flow — while still allowing 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 starts with a thick steel frame that covers both sides and the bottom of the engine. Rubber engine mounts reduce shock on difficult terrain.

The low-profile boom sits below the operator's eye level for an optimal view of your surroundings, and the engine basket sits lower for even greater visibility. Front, top and rear window wipers clear moisture and minimize buildup of dust, debris and mud, while multiple mirrors add visibility in confined areas. Optional rear mirror, rear-view camera and boom work-light kits are also available.

Bobcat telehandler cabs build on the tradition of operator-centered design with high visibility, excellent ergonomics, a comfortable suspension seat, an efficient HVAC system and an easy-to-read instrumentation panel — comfort built in for all-day operation.

Bobcat telehandler cabs are designed and tested to roll-over protective 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.

An industry-leading single joystick controls travel direction, lift and tilt, boom extension and auxiliary hydraulics — letting operators control several functions at once from one point without removing their hand. The directional switch for forward, neutral and reverse works with the index finger, while two-speed travel, lift-arm float, boom extension, machine settings and auxiliary hydraulics sit on the rear of the joystick.

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

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

The Bobcat Smart Handling System lets the operator easily adjust the speed of boom movements (lift, tilt, telescope) via controls on the joystick — the perfect solution when you need high engine power and precise boom motions.

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

The standard 5-inch LCD display provides full-featured machine interaction and monitoring from right in the cab — diagnostics, troubleshooting and error conditions, plus an easy-to-read overview of job hours, travel or engine speed, boom angle, auxiliary hydraulic flow setting and more. A jog shuttle provides easy display navigation and quick shortcuts to your main screens.

LED work lights are strategically positioned — two on the front of the cab, one on the rear and one on the right rear frame — giving you the light you need in dark environments or long days into the evening.

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

Upholstered in comfortable, breathable cloth, the cab's fully adjustable suspension seat provides comfort for long days, smoothing out bumpy jobsite conditions so you keep working with ease and focus.

Bobcat telehandlers come radio ready with wiring, speakers and an antenna for a quick and easy stereo install.

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 lets you work with open windows for easier communication on the job.

The AC unit is integrated into the machine — no bulky add-on unit in your way — and the vents let you point air where you need it for greater comfort in all weather.

The dynamic braking system decelerates and stops the machine as soon as you lift off the accelerator pedal — unlike a torque-converter transmission that coasts — giving you maximum control on slopes to inch up or down without applying the brake.

Release the accelerator pedal at idle and the parking brake automatically engages. Disengage with a button on the instrumentation panel or by pressing the accelerator. Slope assist holds the machine's position on inclines and trailer ramps for easier, more intuitive control on every surface.

Slowing down to load a truck or maneuver around obstacles shouldn't slow hydraulic performance. The brake pedal with inching control lets you precisely manage ground speed while maintaining engine rpm, retaining full power to the work group and attachment for quick cycle times.

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 starts with a double-element air cleaner system — critical for a machine this versatile.

Nylon wear pads on the inside corners of the extendable boom improve guidance and reduce free play. 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 battery is easily accessed via a protective steel cover, away from engine heat and fluids.

Four steering modes give tailored maneuverability for every application: all-wheel steer for quick, tight turns; front-wheel steer for standard travel; crab steer for precise side-to-side positioning; and semi-crab steer to set the rear wheels in a crab position while steering with the front wheels.

The brake pedal with inching control lets you precisely manage ground speed while maintaining engine rpm — retaining full power to the work group and attachment for quick cycle times.

Change attachments quickly and easily using the time-tested Power Bob-Tach® mounting system. Select attachments can be shared with other Bobcat compact equipment for even greater versatility — use pallet forks, a bucket or grapple, then quickly switch to other approved attachments to conquer a wide variety of jobs.

Fingertip control makes operation easy: the forward-neutral-reverse directional switch works with the index finger, while two-speed travel, lift-arm float, boom extension and auxiliary hydraulics sit at the top of the joystick.

Quickly select an auxiliary flow rate that best matches a particular attachment.

Bobcat offers a large selection of standard and hydraulic-powered attachments for your telehandler, and approved attachments can be shared with other Bobcat machines.

Get additional control and functionality in select attachments with the 7-pin attachment control device. Several attachments require control of more than one function, and this system gives fingertip control of those extra functions — on-the-fly adjustments such as the angle of an angle broom are quick and easy with a push button.
