Pettibone Traverse T944X Telehandler

Horizontal Traversal

Pettibone’s Traverse T944X telehandler provides up to 70 inches (178 centimeters) of horizontal boom transfer, making it easier for operators to place loads precisely without having to execute multiple boom functions. Pettibone says this economy of motion makes using a Traverse telehandler safer and more efficient. The company further states that unlike traditional fixed boom pivots, whose true landing heights are typically several feet less than their advertised lift heights, Traverse models’ specified lift and landing heights are the same.
