Rotating telehandler
A telescopic handler whose turret rotates.
It sets up once, stabilises itself, and serves several points without moving again.
It is justified when redeploying costs more than the machine.
Other names for this machine: rotating handler, roto.
- Category
- CACES R.482A category F; some configurations come under lifting
- Status
- Partial carrier
What it does
its turret rotates — it serves several points without moving again.
A telehandler whose superstructure slews:
it sets up once, stabilises, and serves several points without moving again.
What it does not do. More expensive, heavier, longer to set up.
It is justified when redeploying costs more than the machine.
it is they that permit the reach, not the tyres.

you set up once and serve everything around you.

What governs the fitting of an attachment
-
The tool carriage
Forks, bucket, work platform, winch:
each manufacturer has its own carriage, and moving from one to another needs an adapter. -
The load chart
The permissible load collapses as soon as the boom comes out.
It is not the capacity shown that governs, it is the chart at the real reach and height. -
The hydraulic flow available at the end of the boom
It governs the operation of hydraulic tools:
mixing bucket, sweeper, grab. -
The load safety circuit
A monitoring device limits the machine as soon as the overturning moment is approached.
An undeclared tool can put it into fault.

Caveat. The figures appear in American units on the sheet consulted.
I have converted them:
the conversion falls on round numbers, which confirms that these are indeed the original metric values.
The French sheet still has to be consulted for confirmation.

These values are those of one precise model, at one precise date. They do not describe a category:
there are no characteristics of a compact loader in general, there are those of the model you have.
They change from one year to the next and never replace the data sheet of your machine.
Have your machine checked.
Give us the exact model and the work you have in mind.
We check
the coupler, the flow, the pressure and the capacity on your machine,
and we tell you what fits on it — and what does not.
