Specific model depends on the exact configuration and year. Fuel Type: Diesel Performance Horsepower Range: Typically in the 50-70 HP range for this class of machine, optimized for torque. Torque: Designed for high torque at low RPM for lifting and pushing applications. Fuel System Injection Type: Commonly Direct Injection, often with electronic control for emissions and efficiency. Cooling System Type: Liquid-cooled, pressurized system with radiator and fan. 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) is standard for smooth acceleration, deceleration, and infinite speed control. Optional Optional Types: May offer different speed ranges or torque converters depending on specific configurations. Features Drive Modes: Often features two or four-wheel drive, with selectable 2WD/4WD or full-time 4WD. Travel Speed: Variable, typically up to 15-20 mph (24-32 km/h) depending on configuration and terrain. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Overall Length: Varies significantly with boom retracted and attachment, generally around 12-15 feet (3.6-4.5m). Overall Width: Typically around 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8m) depending on tires. Overall Height: Around 6-7 feet (1.8-2.1m) to the top of the cab. Wheelbase: Approximately 6-7 feet (1.8-2.1m). Cargo Max Lift Height: Typically in the range of 14-17 feet (4.3-5.2m). Max Reach: Approximately 9-11 feet (2.7-3.4m) at max boom extension. Weights Operating Weight: Around 5,000 - 7,000 lbs (2,270 - 3,175 kg), dependent on configuration and attachments. Rated Operating Capacity: Typically around 1,500 - 2,500 lbs (680 - 1,134 kg) at boom retracted and specific load centers. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Rollover Protection: ROPS (Roll-Over Protective Structure) is standard. FOPS (Falling Object Protective Structure) is often standard or optional for the cab. Active Features Braking System: Hydraulic disc brakes, often with power assist. Parking brake typically a mechanical or spring-applied type. Stability: Outriggers or stabilizers are usually not a feature on compact telehandlers of this size; stability relies on machine design, weight, and load management. Visibility: Cab design prioritizes visibility to the front, sides, and boom. Work lighting is standard. Passive Features Seatbelt: Operator seatbelt is a mandatory safety feature. Operator Presence System: Often equipped to prevent operation if the operator is not seated. 💡 Technology Features Infotainment Features: Typically basic in this class of equipment, focusing on operational data. May include hour meter, fuel gauge, warning lights, and potentially a basic diagnostic display. Driver Assistance Features: Not typically equipped with advanced driver-assistance systems found in automotive vehicles. Focus is on machine control and safety. Connectivity Features: Limited, unless equipped with optional telematics for fleet management or remote diagnostics, which is becoming more common. 🔧 Maintenance Service Intervals Engine Oil Change: Typically every 250-500 hours, or annually, depending on operating conditions. Hydraulic Filter Replacement: Typically every 500-1000 hours, or as recommended by fluid analysis. Air Filter Replacement: Inspect daily, replace as needed or every 500 hours. Fluid Specifications Engine Oil Viscosity: Commonly SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40, API CJ-4 or higher, depending on engine manufacturer and climate. Hydraulic Fluid Type: ISO VG 46 or...
