"Insisting on doing things the old way won't necessarily assure old time success."
Barry Phillips
President
The Gradall Company
It's been proven time and again that you can't rest on your laurels. No matter how good you are. At the Gradall Company we're justifiably proud of our 534B Materials Handler. There are literally countless construction and rental firms that will attest to its productivity in terms of versatility, capability and quality. But, today, being good isn't really good enough.
You've got to listen to your customers. And, we've been listening to you. As a result, we are constantly evaluating product improvements and enhancements. The best ideas make it off the drawing board and onto the machine. Recently, we introduced a Vertical Mast Forklift attachment for the already- proven Model 534B. It added additional lift height to an already impressive capability. Outriggers are not always a necessity. But, you told us they are often advantageous in that they increase lift capabilities. Today they're available for the 534B. You expressed the need for additional lift versatility. And, new Swing Forks will soon be available that let you place a load 90° to the left or right of the boom. Likewise, we found from customer experience that a combination Truss Boom/ Hoist attachment would save costly manhours. It's now available.
Yes, we listened. And in doing so, we took a four-wheel drive, rough terrain machine that's already distinguished itself for outstanding maneuverablity-90° pivot steering with a turning radius that's less than the length of the chassis-and made it better. Available with 6000 lb. and 8000 lb. capacities and a 36' lift, the Model 534B Handler is a one-man, one-machine work force. You should know more about it.
