What Makes Gradall Material Handlers Special?For 25 years now, on building site after building site, nothing gets around like a Gradall Material Handler. One of the big reasons is a compact benefit: 90-degree rear pivot steering. Rather than turn in circles like other material handlers, only Gradalls can pivot on one front tire. Even on tight jobsites, you can turn sharp corners, move down narrow aisles and square lumber and block precisely to the landing areas. And while you're turning, the forks and carriage never extend dangerously beyond the turning radius.Sticky mud, rocks, sand, or hilly terrain is never a problem for a Gradall thanks to a unique combination of features. A mid-mounted engine provides better weight distribution, not to mention protection from damage, and a long wheelbase and low center gravity provide hillside stability. Rugged two- or three-section booms with overlapping sections are designed to provide stable support for big loads. And the new D-Series operator cabs provide certified protection from falling objects or roll-overs. For easier operator training and day-to-day efficiency, the full line of Gradall Material Handlers is equipped with hydrostatic drivetrains. It's a simplified, no-shift way to go that simplifies the task of inching loads into position. The D-Series includes a full range of machine sizes to choose from. The 544D, the model everybody looks up to, can lift loads 55 feet and handle up to 10,000 pounds. To move 9,000 pounds quickly and easily, choose the 534D9 with a 40-foot lift height. Or, pick the 534D10, also with a 40-foot lift height but offering a 10,000-pound capacity. The 534D6 is a favorite of many masonry and general contractors with a 40-foot lift height and 6,000 pound capacity, while the 524D offers a unique blend of cost-efficiency and productivity with a 6,000 pound capacity and a lift height of 24 feet, 6 inches. |
