March 15, 2005 • CareLift Equipment Limited, Breaslau, Ontario, used ConExpo as the official unveiling of its massive new 32,000-pound capacity telescopic handler. The ZB32032 was originally developed for the U.S. Navy, but CareLift saw many potential applications for both industrial and construction applications.

 

Maximum reach for the new ZB32032 is 32 feet. To power this machine weighing 34 tons, a Cummins QSB 5.9-liter turbocharged and inter-cooled electronic diesel engine has been tabbed. It produces 173 hp at 2,500 rpm and features electric powershift three forward and three reverse speeds. Three-mode steering is standard and controls are pilot-operated hydraulic. Other standard features include a quick-disconnect hydraulic carriage and frame leveling. List price is a hefty $360,000 for the largest telehandler available in North America.
