Improved Fork Leveling

Last summer Xtreme improved its fork-leveling system with separate master cylinders and fork hydraulic isolation block for the four models the company designed and manufactures — the XRM842, XRM1045, XRM1245 and XRM1254. The line's first redesign raised lift capacities for most models. Structural strength and wheel bearing loads were increased and steering geometry was improved. Xtreme protects its boom-extend cylinder inside the roller boom.

Number of models: 9

New models: XRM842, XRM1045, XRM1245 and XRM1254; XRM519, XRM621, XRM732, XRM844 and XRM1068

Product-line features: Xtreme partnered with Dieci of Italy to complete its telehandler line, bringing five models — XRM519, XRM621, XRM732, XRM844 and XRM1068 — to the United States. These include compact, tool-carrier-type machines and two machines whose upper frame rotates like that of a crane.
