JLG
NEW LINE OF ROTATING TELEHANDLERS FOR NORTH AMERICA
J
LG Industries now offers three new rotating telehandler models, the R1370, R1385, and R11100. This new range delivers capacities from 11,000 to 13,000 pounds and maximum reach heights of 67 to 97 feet, with the R11100 being JLG’s highest-reaching telehandler to date. With three-in-one machine capabilities – a traditional telehandler, mobile elevating work platform (MEWP), and rough-terrain crane – these machines offer both horizontal and vertical lift-and-place capabilities. The three new JLG models have nearly identical base configurations, though the R1370 and R1385 have four-section booms, while the R11100 has a five-section boom. All boom sections, regardless of model, are cylinder- and chain-driven to support higher reach and greater lift capacity. The 360-degree continuous rotation of the upper frame adds a new layer of functionality in spaces where it’s difficult to maneuver a traditional telehandler. These models come with front and rear scissor-style outriggers with automatic levelling jacks, which enable the operator to position the machine and then level the frame up to 6 degrees to compensate for terrain.
PRODUCTIVITY FEATURES
The R1370 comes with a Perkins 134-hp diesel engine, while the R1385 and R11100 are equipped with 168-hp FPT diesel engines. All models feature a 2-speed, stop-to-shift hydrostatic transmission that delivers a smoother ride over uneven terrain. Foam-filled tires come standard on all models. Air-filled tires are optional in two different treads.

Thirteen attachments are available, including work platforms, crane jibs and winches, standard and rotating carriages, forks, buckets, truss booms, and coupler-mounted hooks. Standard and continuous auxiliary hydraulics come on all models, and optional dual-auxiliary hydraulics are available. A hydraulic coupler is also available.
LIFTING AND PLACING CAPABILITIES
An inching feature allows the operator to run the boom at optimal speed without shifting the transmission into neutral. Finely tuned boom controls and soft stop slows the boom as it approaches the end of its stroke for precise lifting and placement of materials. A remote boom control feature allows the operator to maneuver the boom from outside the cab when obstructions prevent clear visibility of the work area. These new rotating telehandlers also have an intuitive operator interface and dual joystick proportional controls.
TECHNOLOGY FEATURES
Each model features three exclusive technologies: Automatic attachment recognition, a Load Management Information System (LMIS), and a Load Stability Indicator (LSI). The automatic attachment recognition system recognizes the attachment at the end of the boom, alerts the operator for confirmation, and then displays the appropriate load capacity chart. LMIS indicates whether the load is compliant and prevents operation that violates the load chart’s boundaries. LSI limits the rotating telehandler’s functionality when a load nears maximum capacity.
