Pettibone Reaches New Heights with Extendo 1044X Telehandler
Pettibone has unveiled its new Extendo 1044X telehandler that provides up to 10,000 pounds of load capacity without the use of outriggers.

| The Petttibone Extendo 1044X telehandler has a maximum lift capacity of 10,000 pounds without outriggers and a max lift height of 44 feet 6 inches. |
The company says maintenance requirements are reduced, and operational speed is increased for those in construction, masonry and rental applications due to the elimination of the outriggers.
The Extendo 1044X is powered by a 74-horsepower Deutz Tier 4 Final diesel engine that features a DOC muffler and requires no diesel exhaust fluid. Mounted on a side pod, the engine offers easy service access while allowing for curbside visibility. The telehandler has a maximum lift capacity of 10,000 pounds and a max lift height of 44 feet, 6 inches.
The elimination of outriggers results in faster setup times and improved maneuverability on the jobsite. It also reduces the number of components in need of periodic maintenance, cutting down service time and costs.
According to Pettibone, these efficiency gains allows the 1044X to compare favorably with competitive outrigger-equipped units in the same weight class.
The 1044X features a three-section boom comprised of formed plates that offer greater strength while reducing weight. Boom deflection is minimized for better accuracy when placing loads.
The company says the abundant boom overlap provides smoother operation and reduces contact forces on wear pads, extending service life. A bottom-mounted external extend cylinder further reduces the load on wear pads.
Pettibone’s hydraulics deliver controllability and smooth operating feel, while enhancing efficiency and cycle speeds. Cylinder cushioning dampens the end of strokes, both extending and retracting, to avoid the wear-and-tear of hard, jarring stops, while also helping prevent the potential spilling of a load. A single lift cylinder improves operator sight lines and has twin non-tensioned hydraulic lines for tilt and auxiliary plumbing.
Drivetrain and axles on the new telehandler have been optimized to provide greater tractive effort with minimal tradeoff on top end speed. A pintle hitch mount adds versatility for towing.
Built for use on rough terrain, the unit offers full-time 4-wheel-drive with limited-slip front axle differential. Tight steer angle capability provides an efficient turning radius of 14 feet, 4 inches.
In addition, the Dana VDT12000 Powershift transmission offers three speeds, forward and reverse.
The operator cab of the Extendo 1044X, maintains Pettibone’s ergonomic seat, pedal, joystick and steering wheel positions, while ensuring optimal sightlines in all directions.
An analog/LCD gauge cluster comes standard. An optional 7-inch digital display with optional integrated back-up camera. The cab also offers enhanced climate control, flat bolt-in glass, split door design, openable rear window, lockable storage under the seat, and water-resistant components for easy interior washdown.
All-steel fuel and hydraulic tanks are built to resist damage. The 30-gallon fuel tank offers ample volume for a full day’s work, and the lockable fuel-fill is in a clean, accessible location. Other features include non-tensioned boom hoses, split-system electrical circuit panels, and heavy-duty bright LED lighting. Additional options include a sling hook for additional load security and a wide variety of attachments.
As with other models, the Extendo 1044X comes standard with X-Command, a Pettibone telematics program that offers real-time access to machine data.
