TELESCOPIC HANDLERS

● Three transmissions options are available on telehandlers . The TH255 is fitted with a hydrostatic transmission. The TL and TH range are fitted with 4 speed power- shift transmissions. The high horsepower TH range is fitted with 6 speed powershift transmissions.. ● Three types of quick couplers are offered on the various telehandler models . The TH255 is fitted with a univer- sal skid steer loader style coupler enabling the use of many SSL work tools. The TL and TH lines of telehan- dlers offer hydraulic and manual style IT interface couplers which provide excellent work tool compatibil- ity with older models of telehandlers and other prod- ucts (for example Backhoe Loaders and Small Wheel Loaders). ● Three auxiliary hydraulic options are available: one auxiliary hydraulic service, two auxiliary hydraulic ser- vices and continuous hydraulic flow. These options allow maximum work tool utilization. ● Daily maintenance consists of only a walkaround inspection, all major components and service points are located at ground level, providing excellent ease of service.
