Fall Protection
Integral Energy Absorber

Manufacturer adds the option of a radio remote boom control to several of its telehandler models. The system allows the telehandler boom to be raised and lowered, extended and retracted from the remote-control pendant. Operators also can shut down or start up the engine with the remote. By equipping operators on the platform with this system, they no longer will need anyone in the cab to get them into position. The remote features self-diagnostics and frequency-hopping spread-spectrum technology that initially was developed for military applications. Mustang Manufacturing Co.
