JLG is touting its new high-capacity 2733 telehandler as an alternative to wheel loaders on certain jobs.
The 2733 marks the company’s highest-capacity telehandler, at 26,600 pounds. That’s almost 10,000 pounds more than its former highest-capacity model, the 1732.
The 2733 has a max lift height of 33 feet and an 8,000-pound capacity at max reach, which is 17 feet 7 inches.
“The 2733 can take the place of wheel loaders in certain applications where greater lift height and forward reach is desired,” says John Boehme, JLG senior product manager, telehandlers. “Compared to a wheel loader, the 2733 offers greater versatility due to its lift height and forward reach, as well as better maneuverability due to its compact size, better travel speed and terrain-ability.”
JLG says the telehandler is targeted to industrial and large-scale commercial construction, as well as oil, gas and wind energy projects and above-ground mining. It can “handle and haul heavy, bulky materials; load and unload trucks and trailers; and help maintenance and repair personnel work on larger fleet equipment.”
Features on the 2733 include a two-speed hydrostatic transmission. Optional ride control and boom float make opearation smoother on uneven terrain, the company says. The telehandler also boasts class-leading outside turning radius for maneuvering tight jobsites.
The cab was designed to be spacious with enhanced visibility for operators. It also features a single intuitive joystick and a wrap-around dash.
