Botex 500 TL series loaders are popular with users who require a crane to load and unload from very large lifts of 2500 kgs and down to bundles of chip and pulp. This model has a capacity of up to 50% more deadlift than other tractor trailer mounted loaders.

Available in either long or shortpost form they can be mounted on tractors (either roof or rear) timber trailers or specialised units. Oil flow requirements are around 55 ltrs per minute.
 
 
The most commonly sold model is the 560 TL which has a reach of 6 mtrs, a heavy duty 0.26 grapple and either 4.5 or 6 tonne continuous rotator. 560 is tested to lift over 2500 kgs at 2 mtrs, 1320 kgs at 4 mtrs and 700 kgs at 6 mtrs (less weight of grapple and rotator.
