1130 Bobcat says that its telehandler range now offers improved performance and a greater range of capabilities for the user. All 12 models are powered by Tier 3/Stage IIIA compliant diesels and the machines offer maximum lifting heights from 5.2-17.4m. An array of features has been improved, with a new throttle cable design, a reduction in operating noise and a new rear boom design to eliminate hose interference. Other modifications include an upgraded cab and improved controls. The firm's sophisticated aggravating movement arrestor (AMA) system is designed to prevent dangerous movements of the boom during operation. The electronically-regulated hydrostatic drive allows precise movement even in tight spaces, while the operator can choose between a high speed direct drive, or soft drive mode providing hydraulic power and torque.

The box chassis design provides longitudinal and transverse rigidity as well as a lower operating weight, while a reinforced base protects the mechanical components.
