Bobcat TL35.70 Construction Telehandler.

For sites that need more reach without sacrificing control.

The Bobcat TL35.70 Construction Telehandler is built for construction sites that need more lift height and capacity than compact machines can provide, while still operating within controlled site environments.

It suits builders and contractors who need dependable reach, stable handling, and predictable performance as site scale increases.

Why mid-size construction telehandlers are easy to misjudge.

As construction projects scale up, lifting requirements change quickly.

Common issues include:

  • compact machines operating at their limits
  • forklifts falling short on reach or ground conditions
  • larger machines restricting site movement

On paper, many machines appear capable.

On site, stability, visibility, and control determine whether work flows or stalls.

Choosing the right mid-size telehandler is about balance, not maximum numbers.

Why we recommend the Bobcat TL35.70 for certain sites.

The TL35.70 suits construction projects where:

  • lift height requirements increase
  • loads are handled regularly
  • site access still needs to be managed

This includes:

  • commercial and industrial builds
  • shed and large-span construction
  • regional and rural construction projects

The Bobcat TL35.70 delivers a clear step up from compact models without the footprint or complexity of larger site machines.

Just as importantly, we’ll also tell you when this model isn’t the right fit.

Why work with Delecca's?

For construction projects across central Victoria, the right telehandler supplier matters as much as the machine.

Delecca’s has supplied construction telehandlers to builders and contractors throughout Bendigo and regional Victoria for over 40 years.

We understand site work — from multi-storey commercial builds to regional shed construction and civil projects.

Our telehandler specialists work directly with project managers and contractors to match machines to actual site requirements: lift height, reach, compliance documentation, and whether hire or purchase makes sense for your project timeline.

How to know if the Bobcat TL35.70 fits your project.

Before stepping into a mid-size construction telehandler, check four practical points:

  • Required lift height

    Are you consistently reaching beyond compact machine limits?

  • Load handling frequency

    Are heavier loads part of daily site work?

  • Site layout

    Does the site still favour controlled movement and access?

  • Project duration

    Will the machine be used across multiple stages or builds?

If these align with your project, the TL35.70 is often the right choice.

The Bobcat TL35.70 explained for construction work

The TL35.70 is a mid-size construction telehandler designed for controlled lifting and material placement on site.

It delivers:

  • confident lifting at increased height
  • predictable handling on uneven ground
  • smooth boom control for accurate placement

With a 7.0-metre lift height and 3,500 kg rated lift capacity, the TL35.70 supports larger construction tasks without introducing unnecessary site constraints.

It’s built to extend capability, not complicate site flow.

When the Bobcat TL35.70 is the right choice, and when it isn’t.

The TL35.70 is a good fit if:

  • lift height exceeds compact telehandler capability
  • loads are handled regularly
  • site access still needs to be controlled
  • accurate placement matters

You may need a larger model if:

  • lift heights continue to increase
  • loads become significantly heavier
  • site layout allows larger machines

Making the right call early keeps projects moving.

Get the size right, and avoid re-handling.

When the telehandler matches the site:

  • materials move efficiently
  • operators work confidently
  • site congestion is reduced

When it doesn’t:

  • lifts become marginal
  • access becomes restricted
  • productivity drops

Size matters, but fit matters more.
