    Telehandler Pushes High-Lift Envelope

    Sept. 28, 2010

    In the range of telehandlers with lift height greater than 55 inches, Xtreme Manufacturing's XRM1267 pushes the performance range. According to the company, this telehandler will take 6,800 pounds to 67 feet high, and 3,000 pounds to its maximum horizontal reach of 53 feet 9 inches. It has a lift capacity of 12,000 pounds.

    The telehandler has "the ability to be able to load material into the fifth floor of a building," says Lee Kramer, vice president, engineering for Xtreme. "Both the lift height and reach are prime features."

    Launched earlier this year at World of Concrete, the XRM1267 is manufactured by Xtreme. Xtreme is owned by Don Ahern, who also owns Las Vegas-based Ahern Rentals.

    A key feature on the XRM1267, Kramer says, is the roller boom. "The roller boom replaces the wear pad, which is a maintenance issue," he says. "It also improves the performance of the boom." Daily service points are grouped together at one location, he says. In addition, all electrical wiring terminates at one central location for ease of troubleshooting.

    Other features include a 130-hp Perkins turbocharged diesel, 360-degree visibility, and planetary four-wheel drive. Operating weight is 46,300 pounds.

    List price for the XRM1267 is $245,000. Warranty on the telehandler is 10 years on the frame and chassis, five years on the roller boom, three years on hydraulics, and two years on the power train.
