The Bobcat T40180 telehandler, from Doosan Construction Equipment, is a convenient and cost-effective alternative to scaffolding and will undertake a number of tasks including maintaining and upkeep of the rock armouring used in the sea walls.
Jersey has the fourth largest tidal movement in the world, with a range of 12m between the high and low water mark. The use of the Bobcat telehandler will help to avoid many of the problems caused by tidal flow including scaffold supports being washed away.
The T40180 18m is the largest model in the Bobcat range of rigid frame telehandlers and boasts high stability ensuring minimal loss of lift height and capacity. It has a maximum lift capacity of 4 tonne and a maximum lift height of 17.52m.
As well as telehandlers and other material handling equipment, 4Hire offers a comprehensive range of equipment for hire.
