EquipmentWorld.com | April 2017 17 JCB launches skid steer/telehandler hybrid Teleskid O ne machine that generated significant buzz on the ConExpo 2017 show floor was JCB's Teleskid. The half telescopic handler/half skid steer (it also comes in a compact track loader ver- sion) is what Randy Tinley with JCB calls "a natural progression from our unique side door/single- side boom set up on skid steers and CTLs." The Teleskid can reach 60 percent farther forward than a typical skid steer – up to 13 feet 3 inches – and is the only skid steer that can dig 3 feet below its chassis, JCB says. A forward reach of 8 feet allows the machine to extend through and over obstacles. The machine comes in two ver- sions: the 3TS-8W wheeled model and the 3TS-8T tracked version. At 50 percent of tipping load, the wheeled ver- sion is rated at a capacity of 3,208 pounds with the boom retracted and 1,347 pounds with the boom extended. At 35 percent of tipping load, the CTL version's capacity is rated at 3,695 pounds with the boom retracted and 1,614 pounds with the boom extended. The Teleskid boom takes its pedigree from the company's Loadall telescopic handler, although there are differences. "The boom looks similar, but it's smaller than the Loadall boom and uses a skid steer coupler, which opens it up to any skid steer or CTL attachment," Tinley says. The boom is mounted on a single-piece fully welded chassis and has a single-piece u-pressed design. Centralized lift and extension rams evenly distribute load stresses. The Teleskids have both vertical and radial lift, zero turning radius and a 24 gpm standard flow option, allowing you to operate attachments when fully extended. They are powered by a 74-horspow- er JCB EcoMAX engine. – Marcia Doyle ConExpo | staff report Sany enters North American roller market S any launched its SSR120C-8 roller compactor for the North American market.
