Product Snapshot: Articulating Boom Lift and Telescopic Loader
The Manitou MLT 960 Multipurpose Telescopic Loader has a maximum lifting capacity of 13,200 lb and, when working at its maximum lift height of 29 ft, 6 in., has a lift capacity of 7,700 lb. Powered by a 141-hp John Deere engine with a continuous variable transmission, the teleloader has a maximum travel speed of 25 mph and a turning radius of 13 ft. The boom's low mount position on the frame provides the operator with greater visibility, and the boom's hydraulics have a variable piston pump to allow for load-sensing hydraulics.

McLaren has expanded its line of Nu-Air semi-pneumatic tires. The tires are now available for backhoes, telehandlers, front-end loaders, wheel loaders and wheel excavators. Previously, they were available only on compact equipment. The solid cushion Nu-Air tires are intended as an alternative to foam-filled or solid tires and offer some of the benefits of pneumatic tires. Off-road Nu-Air tires have deep treads for greater traction on uneven terrain and cannot go flat. Multiple tread patterns are available, depending on the application.

The lift has a below-ground reach of 5 ft, 6 in., and a horizontal reach of 40 ft, 11 in. The boom lift is powered by a Tier 4 Final engine and boasts full-time four-wheel drive and oscillating axles. The boom lift has zero tail swing, allowing it to work in confined jobsites. The turntable has 135 degrees of rotation as well as Genie's FastMast system, allowing the platform to be quickly returned to its previous position if it is lowered.
