BARAGA, Mich. — Pettibone introduces the Extendo 1044X telehandler, a value-driven machine that provides up to 10,000 pounds of load capacity. The new telehandler was designed to offer ample lifting power and stability without the need for outriggers, significantly reducing maintenance requirements and enhancing operational speed for users working in construction, masonry and rental applications.
The Extendo 1044X is powered by a 74-horsepower Deutz Tier 4 Final diesel engine that features a DOC muffler and requires no diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Mounted on a side pod, the engine offers easy service access while allowing excellent curbside visibility. The telehandler delivers maximum lift capacity of 10,000 pounds and a max lift height of 44 feet, 6 inches.
The elimination of outriggers from the model’s design results in faster setup times and improved maneuverability on the jobsite. It also reduces the number of components in need of periodic maintenance, thereby cutting down service time and costs. These efficiency gains are complemented by exceptional lifting performance that allows the 1044X to compare favorably with competitive outrigger-equipped units in the same weight class.
The 1044X features a three-section boom comprised of formed plates that offer greater strength while reducing weight. Boom deflection is minimized for better accuracy when placing loads. Abundant boom overlap provides smooth operation and reduces contact forces on wear pads, thereby extending service life. A bottom-mounted external extend cylinder further reduces the load on wear pads.
Pettibone’s tried-and-true hydraulics deliver excellent controllability and smooth operating feel, while enhancing efficiency and cycle speeds. Cylinder cushioning dampens the end of strokes – both extending and retracting – to avoid the wear-and-tear of hard, jarring stops, while also helping prevent the potential spilling of a load. A single lift cylinder improves operator sight lines and has twin non-tensioned hydraulic lines for tilt and auxiliary plumbing.
The Extendo 1044X comes standard with X-Command®, a Pettibone telematics program that offers real-time access to machine data, saving time and money for equipment owners and service technicians.
Drivetrain and axles have been optimized to provide greater tractive effort with minimal tradeoff on top end speed. A pintle hitch mount adds versatility for towing. Built for use on rough terrain, the unit offers full-time 4-wheel-drive with limited-slip front axle differential. Tight steer angle capability provides an efficient turning radius of 14 feet, 4 inches. The Dana VDT12000 Powershift transmission offers three speeds, forward and reverse.
The Extendo operator cab maintains Pettibone’s ergonomic seat, pedal, joystick and steering wheel positions, while optimizing line of sight in all directions. An analog/LCD gauge cluster comes standard. An optional 7-inch digital display with integrated back-up camera is also available. The cab also offers enhanced climate control, flat bolt-in glass, split door design, openable rear window, lockable storage under the seat, and water-resistant components for easy interior washdown.
All-steel fuel and hydraulic tanks are built to resist damage. The 30-gallon fuel tank offers ample volume for a full day’s work, and the lockable fuel-fill is in a clean, accessible location. Other features include non-tensioned boom hoses, split-system electrical circuit panels, and heavy-duty bright LED lighting. Additional options include a sling hook for additional load security and a wide variety of attachments.
