Bobcat telehandler

More lift capacity, longer reach 

Bobcat Company’s V723 VersaHandler telescopic tool carrier can handle loads up to 7,700 pounds. It has a maximum lift height of 22 feet 10 inches and maximum reach of 13 feet 5 inches. Its low profile fits on tight job sites. The Power Quick-Tach attachment mounting system makes tool changes easy. An enclosed engine compartment helps keep out dust and debris and a side-by-side cooling package with an auto-reversing fan improves the machine’s efficiency. The Bobcat 100-horsepower turbocharged engine does not need a diesel particulate filter (DPF). The V723 has front-wheel, all-wheel, and crab steering modes and two speed ranges that can be adjusted independently of engine speed. It’s also equipped with inching control.

Rough-terrain telehandler 
The Genie GTH-844 rough-terrain telehandler features a 74-horsepower, Tier 4 Final-compliant engine option. It is equipped with a high-torque version of the Deutz turbocharged 3.6-liter engine that offers similar torque as higher horsepower engines but doesn’t need emissions control equipment. By optimizing the drivetrain and utilizing the high-torque 74-hp engine, the GTH-844 is a less complex machine at a lower price point. It also comes standard with a Quick-Attach system, low-profile tires, fenders and a lift shackle at the boom tip. An optional rear proximity alarm is available. The GTH-844 has an 8,000-pound maximum lift capacity, 43-foot 10-inch maximum lift height and a 28-foot 2-inch maximum forward reach. Its proportional frame-leveling chassis with dual cylinders allows operators to pick or place loads up to 10 degrees on side slopes, and its multi-functional, proportional joystick gives operators fast, precise load positioning capabilities.

JLG telehandlers

High-capacity telehandlers
The JLG 1644 and 1732 telehandlers offer 15,600 and 16,750 pounds of lift capacity. They are the first telehandlers in North America available with SmartLoad Technology that deliver greater operator confidence. The attachment recognition function identifies the attachment and displays the appropriate load chart; the Load Management Information System (LMIS) shows the load location on the chart and prevents the load from moving outside of the safe operating range. The Load Stability Indicator (LSI), works with the LMIS to limit operation when a load is near the maximum capacity. The units use hydraulic power to raise the boom and gravity to lower it for precise control. The cab offers enhanced visibility; they have a two-speed hydrostatic transmission, optional boom float and ride control for enhanced load stability on uneven terrain.
