Lift Equipment Roundup: JLG Telehandler Places Loads Up to Eight Stories High

Updated Sep 16, 2021

The new JLG 1075 is a 10,000-pound class telehandler designed to increase productivity. It features a 75-foot lift height that reduces the need for more costly cranes on the jobsite.

Capable of taking loads up to eight stories, the JLG 1075 also features 60 feet of forward reach and 30 feet of up-and-over reach for more precise load placement.

Frame leveling up to eight degrees aids setup on uneven ground. Lift capacity at full height is 6,000 pounds and 2,100 pounds at max reach. A 160-horsepower Cummins engine powers the telehandler and provides 22,500 pounds of drawbar pull. A right-side electronic mirror with dual cameras enhances safety by allowing operators greater visibility.

According to the company, the power and design of the FH100-160-1 forklifts make them good choices for industries where heavy loads are common, including construction, freight and logistics, shipping and ports, manufacturing, metal industries, oil and gas, and recycling and waste.

Compared to traditional torque-converter systems, the hydrostatics on the FH100-160-1 reduce maintenance costs, fuel consumption and downtime. Sealed wet multiple-disc brakes provide protection from dust, dirt and debris; durability, fade and water resistance; and prompt, reliable braking in high-cycle operations.
