Lift More—Higher
Pettibone's X-Series telehandler lineup just got a major upgrade with the introduction of the Extendo 1544X telehandler. This new addition brings the lifting capacity to 15,000 pounds for the first time—making it perfect for handling construction materials on highways, pipe yards, and traditional building sites with extended load requirements.
The 1544X is powered by a 117-horsepower Cummins QSF 3.8 Tier 4 Final turbo diesel engine, providing easy access to components and daily service checks. The telehandler comes with foam-filled tires and a 30-gallon fuel tank, providing ample volume for a full day's work at 100-percent load.
Built on Pettibone's next-gen X-Series platform, the 1544X offers a maximum lift height of 44 feet, a maximum forward reach of 29 feet, and a maximum load capacity of 15,000 pounds. Formed boom plates provide the boom structure with greater strength while reducing weight, and minimizing boom deflection for better control and accuracy when placing loads.
Pettibone's hydraulic circuit delivers exceptional controllability and operating feel—enhancing efficiency and cycle speeds. Cylinder cushioning dampens the end of strokes, both extending and retracting, avoiding the wear and tear of hard, jarring stops, while also helping to prevent the potential spilling of a load. The 1544X uses a single lift cylinder that improves operator sight lines and has twin hydraulic lines for tilt and auxiliary plumbing.
The X-Series operator cab maintains Pettibone's standard features, including ergonomic seat, pedal, joystick, and steering-wheel positions, while optimizing lines of sight in all directions. An analog/LCD gauge cluster comes standard, and an optional 7-inch digital display with an integrated backup camera is also available. The cab also offers enhanced climate control, flat bolt-in glass, a split-door design, an openable rear window, lockable storage under the seat, and water-resistant components for easy interior washdown.
The new Extendo 1544X comes standard with X-Command™, a Pettibone telematics program that offers real-time access to machine data, saving time and money for equipment owners and service technicians.
Pettibone's Extendo 1544X is built for use on rough terrain, offering full-time 4-wheel drive with a limited-slip front-axle differential. Tight-steer-angle capability provides an efficient turning radius. The Dana Powershift transmission offers three speeds, forward and reverse, while the drivetrain and axles are optimized to provide greater tractive effort with minimal tradeoff on top-end speed.
All-steel fuel and hydraulic tanks are built to resist damage, and the lockable fuel-fill is in a clean, accessible location. Other built-in features include split-system electrical circuit panels and heavy-duty bright LED lighting. Additional options include solid tires, a sling hook for additional load security, a high-output LED lighting package, and a wide variety of attachments.
