Product Focus:
Rough-terrain telehandlers
SmartLoad technology
JLG Industries Inc. adds the 1644 and 1732 telehandlers with 15,600 and 16,750 pounds of lift capacity. They are its first telehandlers in the high-capacity category and its first North American telehandlers to offer JLG’s SmartLoad technology, which integrates three systems that help operator confidence. First, it can identify the attachment and display its load chart on the cab screen; it graphically depicts the load location on the load chart and works with the unit’s load stability indicator to limit operation if the load moves out of its safe working zone. The units feature JLG’s precision gravity-lowering system that provide precise load control. JLG plans to incorporate this technology throughout its entire line of telehandlers in 2017.

High-visibility telehandler
JCB introduces the 525-60 Hi-Viz Loadall telehandler with standard 4WD for excellent traction and performance in difficult conditions. It’s also available with a limited-slip differential to maximize traction. A high/low transmission allows users to select low speed to meet site speed rules, while high speed is ideal for road travel. A hydrostatic transmission makes maneuvering precise. The driveline works in parallel with the braking system; a transmission dump on the foot brake helps the operator multi-function and have access to increased power during load handling. At just 6 feet 2 inches tall and 6 feet wide, it can work in small spaces. It offers two-wheel steer for travel, four-wheel steer for use in tight spaces, and crab steer to edge closer to or away from obstacles.

Wacker Neuson adds the TH627 model that offers three-in-one machine versatility. With a hydraulic universal SSL attachment plate, it can be used with ground-engaging attachments and work like a wheel loader to dig and carry; a skid steer with a compact footprint that can carry an assortment of attachments; and a telehandler with a lift height of 18 feet 7 inches and 5,500 pounds capacity. A Load Management System (LMS) maximizes performance and minimizes tipping by automatically adjusting the position of the load. The unit is powered by a Tier 4 Final, 74-hp. Kohler engine with diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) after-treatment with no diesel particulate filter, no regeneration and no maintenance.
