JLG Industries unveiled its new line of compact telehandlers to the North American market at the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas this week.
The G5-19A and G6-23 A, manufactured at the Maasmechelen, Belgium, plant, were derived from JLG's models 266 and 307 that are marketed in Europe, JLG marketing director Dave Baxter said.
Baxter said the telehandlers had been well received at the trade show. "It was the largest level of inquiry of any product JLG displayed."
Model G5-19A has a maximum capacity of 5,000lbs (2,268kg) while model G6-23A has a maximum capacity of 6,600lbs (2,994kg).
The model on display, G5-19A, has a lifting height up to 19 feet (5.79 metres) and a forward reach of 10 feet 4 inches (3.15 metres). It is powered by a 100hp Deutz diesel engine and has four-wheel drive.
Its features include a cab design for improved operator vision with 140-degree carriage rotation and a mechanical switch that enables changes from forks to other attachments.
It has three steering modes - four-wheel steering used for circle steer, crab steer or the machine can be steered with the front-wheel steering.
