Pettibone Traverse T1056X Telehandler

June 21, 2021

Pettibone Traverse T1056X telehandler is the first 10,000-pound-capacity Traverse model it its X-Series lineup. Traverse telehandlers have a traversing boom carriage with the capability to move loads by traveling horizontally.

The Pettibone T1056X has a maximum load capacity of 10,000 pounds and a specified lift height of 56 feet 6 inches. The sliding boom allows the telehandler to reach the same height for landing. The traversing boom provides up to 70 inches of horizontal boom transfer, which extends its maximum forward reach to 45 feet 10 inches.

The 117-horsepower Cummins QSF 3.8 diesel engine is mounted on a side pod, which provides service access as well as curbside visibility and ground clearance of 18 inches.

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 a turning radius of 14 feet 4 inches. The Dana VDT12000 Powershift transmission offers three speeds, forward and reverse.

Cylinder cushioning dampens the end of strokes: both extending and retracting. A single lift cylinder improves operator sight-lines and has twin hydraulic lines for tilt and auxiliary plumbing.

Boom overlap has been nearly doubled from previous models to provide smoother operation and reduce contact forces on wear pads. A bottom-mounted external extend cylinder further reduces the load on wear pads by up to 50 percent, according to Pettibone, and improves service access to internal boom components.
