V923 VersaHANDLER® Introduced by Bobcat

New V923 VersaHANDLER Telescopic Tool Carrier

The new V923 VersaHANDLER® telescopic tool carrier builds on the success of prior Bobcat® telescopic tool carriers.

The new V923 expands the Bobcat family of VersaHANDLER® telehandlers. The machine features  a 130-horsepower turbocharged Bobcat engine and heavy-duty drive train, increased rated operating capacity of 9,000 pounds and a travel speed of up to 24.5 mph.

A Z-Bar boom linkage delivers greater range of bucket rotation, an increased dump angle at full height and increased breakout force to lift material out of a pile and dump it easily. Plus, the new V923 features the power quick-tach attachment mounting system to increase utilization.

The Bobcat engine meets Tier 4 regulations without a diesel particulate filter. According to Bobcat,

“This reduces downtime that occurs with DPF regeneration and long-term DPF maintenance costs – so operators can focus on working.”

Bobcat engines have a specially designed combustion chamber that minimizes the amount of particulate matter the engine creates. The amounts are low enough that a DPF isn’t needed for Tier 4 compliance, which simplifies maintenance as well as operation.

In addition, the V923 VersaHANDLER® gives operators a heavy-duty hydrostatic transmission that delivers a smooth 0-25 mph stepless driving experience, quick power when needed and high wheel torque for digging and pushing. The low-profile, extendable boom gives operators the power to access a wide range of lift heights and reach lengths with increased visibility to the right side of the machine. The low boom pivot point in the rear also helps make it a powerful machine when pushing. As the machine pushes, more of the weight stays on the front axle.

V923 VersaHANDLER®: Notable Performance Features

  • Load sense hydraulic system designed for faster boom speeds and heavier lifting
  • Patented hydraulic lift system provides advanced high-flow technology to optimize lift capabilities while providing high-speed movement
  • Equipped with reinforced heavy-duty axles with large lug nuts and a reinforced central differential gear.
  • Heavier-duty lift cylinder allows for a rated operating capacity of 9,000 pounds and improved lifting performance.
  • Enable boom float while moving on uneven ground for smooth performance with attachments.

Attachment Versatility

The Bobcat V923 VersaHANDLER® features the power quick-tach attachment mounting system. This system also features a hydraulic lock function which allows operators to change non-hydraulic attachments safely and quickly without leaving the cab.
