Crane? Who needs a crane? JLG Telehandlers Offer Incredible On-Site Versatility
These amazingly useful machines can be outfitted with lifting hooks, towing hitch brackets and all kinds of other accessories making them not just useful for material handling, but also for building.
It isn’t uncommon to see people standing forms, connecting beams or towing machinery around the job site with these fantastically functional workhorses. How many times has your crew been stuck standing around because the crane was behind schedule? These machines offer incredibly dynamic workaround abilities to keep your crew moving, no matter what is happening on the site.
The incredible capacity of 3500 lbs. at max reach can be a little bit mind-boggling if you are familiar with the concepts of leverage and balance. These machines are capable of taking lumber up to the 4th and 5th floors with ease, which saves your team members’ backs, and your money.
Crab Walk Capabilities for All-Terrain Functionality
It is easy to see the outside wheel’s turning radius and think that this machine would be prone to get hung up on corners and stuck on the job site. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. Despite the generous 14’ turning radius that this machine needs to take a corner when in front-wheel steering mode, it has a few tricks up its sleeve.
With just a turn of a knob, the operator can enable rear-wheel or all-wheel steering, allowing this machine to move in many different ways to adapt to its current environments. This is extremely valuable for tasks that require a finer touch, like ballasting a self-erect crane or placing jerry blocks.
This machine is one of the most useful machines you can find on a job site today. It can save contractors a ton of money on expensive truck and crane rentals. The JLG G12 A55S is a piece of kit that is built to adapt and thrive in all working conditions.
