A U.S. Buyer’s 3.5-Ton Telehandler Configuration

A U.S. equipment buyer selected a 3.5-ton telescopic handler configured for a maximum lift height of 7 m. The build pairs a Cummins QSF3.8 engine rated at 97 kW with a telehandler-specific 4-forward/4-reverse transmission and four-wheel drive. The configuration was specified around lifting capacity, boom control, visibility and fork handling. The customer’s company name is withheld.

Selected machine configuration

Rated load and lift	3.5 t rated capacity; maximum lift height 7 m
Powertrain	Cummins QSF3.8 engine, 97 kW; 4F/4R transmission; four-wheel drive
Steering	Front-wheel, four-wheel and crab steering modes
Boom and forks	Two-section telescopic boom with electric extension; automatic fork leveling; 1,220 mm sliding forks
Controls and visibility	Load-sensing electro-proportional control; electronic travel control; 10-inch display; rear-view and camera package
Cab and tires	Air-conditioned cab, adjustable seat, LED work lights and 400/70R24 pneumatic tires
Other selected equipment	Torque-limiting system and Manitou-style hydraulic quick coupler

Order outcome

The buyer chose a machine package that combines a 3.5-ton rated class and 7 m maximum lift with selectable steering modes, fork leveling and a camera-equipped cab. These specifications describe the selected build; actual capacity varies with boom extension, load position and attachment. The operator should use the machine’s load chart and confirm the attachment, coupler and site conditions before each lift.
