US based Xtreme Manufacturing unveiled the production version of its new 26 metre/5.4 tonne fixed frame telehandler, the XR1585-C, at the World of Cncrete exhibition in Las Vegas today.
The new machine, shown as a prototype at Conexpo last year, features a five section boom, with rollers rather than wear pads, and offers a 20.4 metre forward reach. Has an overall weight of 29.7 tonnes, with Cummins Tier 4 Final diesel power, an overall width of 2.6 metres, and a stowed height of 2.7 metres.

The XR1585-C also features a new patent pending option, the Operator Station a one person platform attached to the rear of the fork carriage, from which a person can operate all of the machine's boom functions, via a wireless RF pendant type remote controller. The operator travels with the load, so that he is better placed to position the load at height.

Another new 'patented' feature is a co-ordinated boom control function ‘Coordinated Motion’ which uses two new sensors on the boom, to coordinate the horizontal and vertical boom operation in order to achieve a achieve true horizontal or perfect vertical fork motions, regardless of the slop angle of the chassis. It is also available now on the Xtreme XR944-B and XR1147-B telehandlers and will be rolled out across the range during the year. The XR1585-C will enter full production by the end of the year.
