Top Industry Leaders in the Heavy Duty Telehandler Market
Heavy Duty Telehandlers Market
- April 2023- Pettibone has re-entered the 15,000-pound lift-capacity class for its X-Series telehandlers with the debut of its Extendo 1544X. The company had discontinued its previous 15,000-pound model in 2015 after it switched to Tier 4 Final engines, said Mitch Fedie, product manager, but it has seen demand for a higher capacity telehandler for commercial and residential construction as well as oil and gas projects. The rough-terrain telehandler's lifting capacity makes it ideal for highway construction, pipe installation projects, and heavy-duty material handling on building sites, the company says. The 1544X can lift to 44 feet high and has a forward reach of 29 feet. Lift capacity at max height is 10,000 pounds. It runs on a 117-horsepower Cummins turbo diesel engine. Pettibone mounted the engine onto a side pod to give the operator clear curbside views and 19-inch ground clearance. The company says the telehandler can run at 100% load for a full day on one tank of diesel. It also has four-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential on the front axle. The Dana Powershift transmission has three speeds: forward and reverse. Pettibone says the telehandler also delivers a tight turning radius at 11 feet 4 inches and has two-wheel, four-wheel, and crab steer. The new telehandler weighs about 32,000 pounds and is built on the same Pettibone X-Series platform as its smaller models, so there are parts commonality. It features a lightweight boom design that reduces wear, increases strength, and provides better control and accuracy for placing heavy loads, the company says. Contact forces on wear pads are reduced, while an external bottom-mounted extend cylinder cuts the load on wear pads in half, according to Pettibone.
