If you're in the market for a telehandler that towers above the rest, you may want to consider Xtreme’s new XR1585-C. It is advertised as the highest reach fixed-boom telehandler in the world.
Makers of the XR1585-C say it has a maximum lift height of 85 feet. According to Equipment World’s 2021 Spec Guide, the next-tallest telehandler is the Magni HTH 50.14 that has a 45 feet 11 inch reach.
Xtreme makers say the new rough-terrain telehandler has a 67-foot forward reach and a load capacity of 15,000 pounds and that it is the first telehandler with a five-section boom.
This machine also features a new optional operator station positioned on the back of the carriage that enables the operator to travel with a load at height to increase control when placing the load. The operator uses a wireless control pendant to operate the boom. The operator station would be sold as an option.
A number of attachments can be used on the XR1585-C, including pole grapples, sling mounts, truss booms, buckets and work platforms, with hydraulic flow of 49 gallons per minute and 4,000 psi of pressure. Carriage options are fixed, fork positioning, swing or side tilt.
The model’s chassis features a new design that is 8.5 feet wide and has a stowed height of 10 feet. The telehandler has a turning radius of 16 feet 8 inches. It also comes with wide-stance outriggers.
The XR1585-C runs on a 173-horsepower Cummins diesel engine with a 100 gallon fuel tank.
XR1585-C makers say operators get 360-degree visibility from the cab. They say the machine also has a fully rated boom lift point and long-life boom rollers for smooth operation. The company offers various tires, fork tines and options, including telematics.
Xtreme is looking to roll out the XR1585-C at the end of the year.
You can call ConEquip Parts for the XR1585-C but it's very unlikely we will be able to provide parts for that machine, but if you own a telehandler, you probably have other machines, so give ConEquip Parts a call for any make and model you might have.
