Another new Sunward telehandler

Sunward's recently launched a new 14 metre/4,000kg, telehandler, the SWTH 4014 is now ready for delivery in Europe.

The new SWTH 40I4, is a sister model to Sunward’s new 18 metre/4,000kg SWTH 4018, the main difference being that the 4014 has a three section boom, while the 4018 is four section.

According to Sunward, both models have been designed for the European market, although they had not been seen in Europe until the 4014 was displayed at last month's Platformers Days in Germany.

The new machine has outriggers/stabilisers as standard, along with frame levelling, it can handle its maximum capacity free on wheels, but only with the three section boom fully retracted. When the outriggers are deployed, it can take it to a height of just over 11 metres, and a forward reach of up to five metres.

The maximum lift height is 13.6 metres with the outriggers set, at which point it can handle 3,000kg. Free on wheels, it can reach a height of 12.55 metres with 2,000kg..
The maximum forward reach is 9.5 metres with 1,500kg with outriggers down, or 300kg without. The standard frame levelling offers a range of plus or minus nine degrees – nine degrees each side if you prefer.

The overall width is 2.38 metres, overall length to the fork carriage 6.5 metres, and it stands 2.55 metres high. The Kubota powered telehandler has a standard hydrostatic transmission and weighs 11,500kg, top speed is 25kph.

As to controls, ‘intelligent boom control’ is standard and is said to help the operator with more precise load positioning. The 950mm wide cab features a 10.1 inch touchscreen, a standard rear-view camera and air conditioning.
