Pettibone grows X-series line

Pettibone has expanded its X-Series telehandler lineup with the addition of the Extendo 1530X. The 1530X provides a 15,000-pound maximum lifting capacity and a maximum lift height of 30 feet on the unit’s two-section boom. It follows Pettibone’s original launch into the 15k market with its 1544X in 2023.

The unit is powered by a 117-horsepower Cummins QSF3.8 Tier 4 Final diesel engine with DEF and SCR aftertreatment. Side pod mounting offers easy service access while allowing excellent curbside visibility and ground clearance, the company said. The 1530X also utilizes Dana 223 Series high steer axles and Dana’s VDT12000 Powershift transmission.

The operator cab includes ergonomic seat, pedal, joystick and steering wheel positions. Available as an open canopy or enclosed cab, it features an all-steel interior with water-resistant components for easy washdown. Additional features include:

• New analog/LCD gauge cluster.
• Enhanced climate control system.
• Split door design allows upper half to lock in the open position.
• Flat, bolt-in glass can easily be removed or replaced.
• Openable rear window improves air flow while keeping cab dry.
• Lockable storage area under seat for manual, gloves and tools.

Additionally, the unit comes with Pettibone’s X-Command Telematics, which is a standard feature for 2 years on X-Series telehandlers. X-Command provides access to the real-time status of Pettibone machines, including:

• Remotely monitor equipment location and data: Engine hours, fuel usage, DEF level, battery voltage and much more.
• Identify minor mechanical issues before they become serious.
• Minimize downtime through remote diagnosis.
• Get reports and notifications via web browser or mobile app.
• Increase ROI by ensuring maintenance is up-to-date, and by eliminating certain field service calls.
• Use current, accurate machine info to plan ahead on fleet maintenance.
