Axis Capital Group Singapore - Latest Telehandler Selections Extending For The Market9 Years AgoLatest Telehandler Selections Extending For the Market Latest selections prosper for managers in the type of
new models and important updates, in addition to the requisite Tier 4-Final
engine installations, from the time when Construction Equipment last observed
at telehandlers previous to ICUEE and Conexpo 2014.
This hold true as well will Axis Capital Group, Singapore, a
company that sells and rents construction capital equipment from cranes to
excavators and related heavy construction equipment throughout Southeast Asia
such as KL Malaysia, Bangkok Thailand, Jakarta Indonesia and many more. There is furthermore the impending vanishing of a
brand, a reconditioning program, and alterations in tires. This, unfortunately,
causes many complaints from the customers.
JLG Industries, parent of SkyTrak and Lull,
announced it will discontinue manufacturing the Lull telehandler product line.
Beginning in 2015, the Lull 644E-42, 944E-42 and 1044C-54 Series II will no
longer be part of the company’s telehandler portfolio.
TIRE TIDBITS
Genie’s Hislop mentions an item managers may not
think of. “One of the most expensive items on a telehandler is the tires,” he
says. “Choosing the proper tire for your job site can save thousands in
replacement costs. Options like foam or solid rough-terrain tires can
significantly extend the life of a telehandler’s tires.”
Genie is completing testing on a new brand of
tires, according to Hislop. “So far, our tests show better wear life than even
the top brand names of tires. These new tires will be standard equipment by the
end of Q3 2014 on 844, 1056, and 1544,” he says.
SkyTrak, as part of its 2015 upgrade, is making a
tire change, as well. “Operators can expect enhanced durability and reliability
from the telehandlers, thanks in part to Firestone DuraForce MH tires, which
are less susceptible to sidewall damage and last up to three times longer than
previous Firestone SGT tires,” Boeckman says.
“The market for Lull telehandler models has been in
decline for the last several years, which combined with increased cost to
comply with new EPA engine standards, led us to the decision to discontinue the
product line,” says Brian Boeckman, JLG global product director for
telehandlers. “Our comprehensive telehandler portfolio remains solid, however,
and we believe there are significant models across our JLG line of equipment
that will support the shift for our customers beyond 2015.” JLG will continue
to provide support for Lull machines in the field with parts and service.
This allows six telehandlers under the JLG name,
and five under the SkyTrak brand. JLG has focused its latest product alterations
on the SkyTrak side of the house, with improvements that will be operative in
early 2015, as well as single joystick operation, enhanced boom speeds, a
Cummins 3.8L Tier 4-Final engine, and better axles, drive shafts, and braking.
The SkyTrak units will similarly have redesigned
cabs with an additional combined armrest, redesigned dash panel, and optional
air conditioning, along with a redesigned rear counterweight, which now consist
of a retrieval hitch as standard. The Stabil-Trak system, offered on most
models, offers fully automatic rear-axle stabilization by transferring from a
3-point to a 4-point stance. The reviews have good feedbacks.
