TELEHANDLERS
JLG is moving forward in both areas. It recently introduced the G10-55A and G12-55A models, 10,000- and 12,000-pound machines, respectively, that lift to 55 feet. "These two models complete the JLG brand by giving us four models ranging in size from a 6,600-pound, 42-foot reach model, the G6-42A, to a 9,000-pound 43-foot model, the G9-43A, to the new G10 & G12 models. We are also introducing a revamped Lull 1044C-54 Series II. This model will have a new drive train and a number of other improvements. The machine will use the same attachments as its predecessor, including the eight-foot tower that will give the machine 62-foot landing capability."
Compact units were introduced in the European market where they have caught on rapidly.

EXCELLENCE UNDER PRESSURE
Compact units were introduced in the European market where they have caught on rapidly. JLG has made two telehandler product acquisitions in Europe to speed its development of smaller-sized units. "We will be unveiling two new models in the compact range at ConExpo in March," notes Kuehling.
While JLG is arguably the largest manufacturer of telehandlers, with four brand names in its stable - JLG, SkyTrak, Lull and Gradall - smaller companies are not letting that stop them from bringing out new and enhanced models for the North American market. One of those companies is Carelift Equipment Ltd., Breslau, Ontario. Its ZB32032 is the newest addition to the Zoom Boom super heavyweight line. With a capacity of 32,000 pounds and a lift height of 32 feet, the ZB32032 retains the same rugged construction that the industry has come to expect. This new machine will also be unveiled at the ConExpo Show in Las Vegas this month.
It features a Cummins 173 HP engine, Dana powershift transmission, AxelTech axles, three modes of steering, and frame leveling. A number of tool carrier attachments are available to meet a wide range of application requirements.
Mustang Manufacturing Company, Owatonna, Minn., has introduced two new telescopic handlers. The Mustang 642 will replace the previous model 638 and increase its lift height from 38 feet to 42 feet. A new model, the 844 is being added with a rated lift capacity of 8,000 pounds and a reach of 44 feet. The 642 and 844 share boom designs with the larger Mustang Deluxe Series of telehandlers, giving them extra durability.
"We have upgraded our joystick operation to be like our popular 634 model," says Doug Snorek, Marketing Manager for Mustang. "Also, the two-joystick design was optimized using computer simulation to improve the ergonomics for the operator. The Mustang 642 and 844 pilot-operated controls have one joystick for boom control and another for frame leveling and attachment control. The previous model had three hydraulic controls, one for each of these functions."
Adds Snorek, "We have installed a new tilt cylinder, which affects how quickly the forks can be tilted and allows for increased productivity from the 638. That increase in performance can save time and money."
