Pettibone has introduced the Extendo 1044X telehandler for construction projects, rental applications and material transfer requirements. The new telehandler offers up to 10,000 lbs. of load capacity during use.
The Extendo 1044X is powered by a 74-hp Deutz Tier 4 Final diesel engine that features a DOC muffler and requires no diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Mounted on a side pod, the engine offers service access while allowing curbside visibility. The telehandler delivers a maximum lift height of 44 ft., 6 in.
The elimination of outriggers from the model’s design results in reduced setup times, supporting maneuverability on the jobsite. It also reduces the number of components in need of periodic maintenance.
The 1044X features a three-section boom comprised of formed plates that offer strength while reducing weight. Boom deflection is minimized when placing loads. Boom overlap provides smooth operation and reduces contact forces on wear pads, thereby extending service life. A bottom-mounted external extend cylinder reduces the load on wear pads.
Pettibone’s hydraulics deliver controllability for operators. Cylinder cushioning dampens the end of strokes – both extending and retracting – to avoid the wear-and-tear of hard, jarring stops, while also helping prevent the potential spilling of a load. A single lift cylinder supports operator sight lines and has twin non-tensioned hydraulic lines for tilt and auxiliary plumbing.
The Extendo 1044X comes standard with X-Command, a Pettibone telematics program that offers real-time access to machine data.
Drivetrain and axles have been optimized to provide tractive effort with minimal tradeoff on top end speed. A pintle hitch mount adds versatility for towing. Built for use on rough terrain, the unit offers full-time four-wheel drive with limited-slip front axle differential. Tight steer angle capability provides a turning radius of 14 ft., 4 in. The Dana VDT12000 Powershift transmission offers three speeds, forward and reverse.
The Extendo operator cab maintains Pettibone’s ergonomic seat, pedal, joystick and steering wheel positions. An analog/LCD gauge cluster comes standard. An optional 7-in. digital display with integrated back-up camera is also available. The cab also offers climate control, flat bolt-in glass, split door design, openable rear window, lockable storage under the seat and water-resistant components for interior washdown.
All-steel fuel and hydraulic tanks are built to resist damage. The 30-gallon fuel tank offers volume for a full day’s work and the lockable fuel-fill is in a clean, accessible location. Other features include non-tensioned boom hoses, split-system electrical circuit panels and heavy-duty bright LED lighting. Additional options include a sling hook for load security and a variety of attachments.
