Benefits & Features

Control Layout All day operator comfort and efficiency is ensured through our simple, easier to use control layout. Easier Access Cab entry and exit is both easier and more convenient due to the well placed handholds and step. Operator Protection The machine provides full operator security with OROPS or EROPS protection. Enhanced Visibility The TL C Series cab has better visibility due to the use of advanced virtual design techniques. Operator Station The operator station provides comfort and protection with improved job site visibility and convenient, easier to use controls. » Learn More Joystick Control The joystick allows three simultaneous boom functions enabling application customization for more than a dozen configurations. The joystick also operates the auxiliary hydraulic function and allows the option of a second auxiliary service for the use of work tools that require more than one hydraulic service. Flow Sharing Three simultaneous hydraulic functions are achieved using a full flow sharing hydraulic valve. A load sensing variable displacement pump allows full hydraulic power even at low revs. Ease of Operation Ease of operation was extremely important in the design of the new TL1255C telehandler. The joystick is designed for comfort and efficiency. » Learn More Lift Height The TL1255C can pick and place bricks and materials to a maximum height of 54.3 ft. (16.6 m). Reach Job site obstacles present challenges demanding a machine to place loads at greater distances - the TL1255C delivers. Steering Modes The TL1255C offers three steering modes (two wheel, crab and 4-wheel steer) to allow an operator to more easily position the machine. Steering modes are selected by a single rocker switch. Steering position sensors are fitted as standard to all steering modes to be changed while moving.
