TELEHANDLERS
More than 60 degrees, the parking brake is applied, or the PWP System is activated. Other improvements include a stronger frame with reinforced C-channels, internal wet disc brakes for better stopping capability and longer life, and a SAHR (Spring-Applied, Hydraulically Released) parking brake. The SAHR parking brake applies automatically when the engine is shut off, or manually by pressing a rocker switch.
The Extendo Traverse T8044 telehandler from Pettibone, Baraga, Mich., features nearly six feet of horizontal boom travel at every lift height, letting operators lift and land loads in hard-to-reach locations with ease. The telehandler enables precision load placement through windows and other openings. Its low-profile design fits under an eight-foot doorway for increased flexibility and productivity in low-overhead areas.

"This is a huge advantage in terms of productivity," says Pettibone's President, Kevin Walsh. "When you have to get a large load onto a second- or third-story landing, the T8044's horizontal boom lets you easily go right through an opening without repositioning the machine."
Its standard Cummins turbo-charged 110 horsepower diesel engine with full electronic control provides optimum power and meets Tier II low-emission standards. With an 8,000-pound lift capacity, more than 44 feet of lift height and 36 inches of forward reach, the T8044 is ideal for all masonry applications. In addition to lifting material up and through high, narrow spaces, the unit has the industry's tightest turning radius-less than 12 feet-which allows for efficient operation and faster job completion. Walsh cites this as a major advantage of this model since most job sites have multiple machines operating in close quarters.
Standard performance features on the Traverse T8044 include two-wheel, four-wheel and crab steering so users can match the machine's operation with the task at hand. The Quick Attach system makes it easy to switch between a wide range of Extendo attachments, including buckets, truss booms and fork carriages. The standard boom-tip auxiliary hydraulic supply gives operators the flexibility to use multiple hydraulic functions at the same time for greater versatility.
