Xtreme Manufacturing is uprating its new XR6538 roughterrain telehandler to the XR7038. Introduced at ConExpo 2014 as the Xtreme XR6538, the machine has since undergone full testing and has been uprated to a lifting capacity of 70,000 pounds. This is a 5,000-pound increase in lift capacity from the initial ConExpo specifications and further cements its position as the largest-capacity rough-terrain telehandler manufactured in North America, according to the company.
The XR7038 has been designed by Xtreme’s in-house engineering team for mining, bridge construction and pipe handling applications, plus any jobsite where there is a need to lift and move heavy loads. Weighing in at 115,000 pounds (unloaded) with 38 feet of lifting height, and featuring 6.5-foot-tall foamfilled tires and a 24-foot turning radius, the XR7038 is an ideal alternative to small crane applications, especially as it can transport as well as lift a load. It is powered by a Cummins 300-hp Tier 4 Final engine and has a large 150-gallon fuel capacity to reduce the frequency that the machine will need to be refuelled.
The XR7038 benefits from heavy-duty steel construction and quality components to provide a long working life. It features a fork positioning carriage as standard, with forks weighing over a ton apiece. The machine also comes equipped with a unique boom lift point, driver suspension seat, rear view camera, electronic engine monitor, and long-life boom rollers for smooth operation.
The XR7038 is available in three configurations: open cab, closed cab with heat and closed cab with heat and AC.
