JLG 723A compact telehandler

OM Carrelli Elevatori has launched the XR reach truck that is manufactured in Italy.

The reach truck is designed to optimise cargo handling on pallets in warehouses and distribution centres where speed and efficient movement are required. It is ideal for narrow-aisle operation and can travel far on smooth surfaces. It is being produced at OM's factory in Luzzara, Italy.

JLG Industries has expanded its compact telehandler range with two new models - the JLG 619A and 723A - for landscaping, construction and agricultural applications.

The 619A offers about 6,000lb (2,722kg) of capacity at the maximum reach height of 19ft (5.8 metres) while the 723A provides about 7,000lb (3,175kg) capacity at a height of 23ft (7 metres). Both are equipped with all-wheel steering.

"The compact dimensions provide the maneuverability necessary for loading or unloading mulch, transporting hay bales or moving pallets on a crowded jobsite," says Brian Boeckman, JLG product manager for telehandlers. He adds that the spacious cab with a comfortable suspension seat and tilt steering will optimise operator comfort and visibility.

The models complement the existing G5-18A, creating a JLG-branded line-up of three compact telehandlers and 11 construction models. JLG will discontinue the G5-19A and G6-23A telehandlers.
