Quick change attachment on Telestick boom extension

Gradall Industries’ new Telestick boom extension is designed with a quick change feature to efficiently switch attachments, and is engineered to significantly expand the versatility of the new Gradall Series 3 hydraulic excavator models.

The Telestick boom extension can increase the reach and range of Gradall excavators to as much as 50 feet 2 inches on the largest models. Equipped with buckets, blades, grapples and more, the Telestick can enable Gradall’s Series 3 excavators to be even more effective on big-reach jobs like dredging, sloping and cleaning canals, as well as cleaning sediment ponds, removing flood debris or mowing and trimming vegetation in hard-to-reach places.

The new design incorporates adjustable rod eyes on the dead link and adjusting capabilities to provide proper contact of the stroke limiters. The Telestick attachment can be installed in less than 30 minutes using the standard boom-end bucket adaptor and two pins. Gradall’s high pressure, load-sensing hydraulic system powers the boom movements of the Telestick and boom-end attachments, using the optional auxiliary hydraulic quick-connect system.
