GTH-1056 Telehandler The GTH-1056 has been purposefully designed to lower total cost of ownership by 10% while delivering 20% more lift capacity at max height. It has a sidemounted engine and stronger boom design that delivers a 10,000-lb. capacity. The unit is able to lift 5,000 lbs. at its maximum height of 56 ft. 7 in. and 3,000 lbs. at a maximum reach of 42 ft. It boasts a 30% stronger boom and chassis. The boom with mid-pivot point uses a single lift cylinder. This simpler configuration, combined with a wider, stiffer horsehead, efficiently transfers loads in applications imposing high stress on the boom, such as pipe handling or suspended loads.
