Kubota UK has expanded into the materials handling sector, with the launch of its first ever compact telehandler. As its name suggests, the new KTH4815-2 has a maximum lifting height of 4.8 metres and top lifting capacity of 1.5 tonnes.
It is powered by Kubota’s own Stage V compliant, three-cylinder D1803 engine, which provides a peak power output of 37kW (50hp) and a service interval of 500 hours.
Commenting on the telehandler’s power systems, Kubota said, “Mounted on the right-hand side between the front and rear wheels, the transverse engine position affords generous service access to all filters and the battery isolator, in addition to providing easy access to the handler’s cooling pack. Kubota’s KTH4815-2 telehandler is available four versions. Customers can choose from two canopied and two fully glazed options, which have been built to different specifications for all levels of the market.
Kubota’s highest specification KTH4815-2 includes three steering models: two-wheel and crab steering as well as the standard four-wheel steering modes, which gives the machine inner and outer turning radiis of just 1.2m and 2.7m respectively. Additionally, hydraulic performance extends to up to 81 litres/min, with 51 litres available through an auxiliary circuit for powered attachments carried on the handler’s Eurohitch headstock. The telehandler is also fitted with a proportional joystick, as well as adjustable flow rate and memory function.
