Ingersoll Rand
The VR-843C telescopic material handler delivers an 8,000-lb. lift capacity, 43-ft. lift height, 28-ft. forward reach and 2-ft. 10-in. reach below grade. Power is supplied by a 110-hp Cummins QSB4.5 turbocharged, Tier II engine. The hydraulic system provides greater load control throughout the boom lifting range, resulting in accelerated telescopic action. Built-in cushioning at the end of the lifting sequence allows the load to be placed and transported with greater smoothness.

JLG Industries/Gradall
Gradall telehandlers incorporate rear-pivot steering for greater maneuverability around the jobsite. The feature enables the machines to pivot around tight corners while keeping the fork and load inside the tight turning radius at all times. Inching big loads onto exact placements further enhances efficiency and productivity. The Gradall Model 544D (shown) provides a 10,000-lb. lift capacity and a 55-ft. maximum lift height with stabilizers deployed.
