The New HA16RTJ PRO
From the beginning Haulotte developed the
HA16RTJ PRO with customers to create a simple,
robust, reliable and easy to maintain machine, with
excellent performance and a high level of safety.
The HA16RTJ has very smooth movements and
maximum precision, resulting in the ultimate
feeling of comfort and safety.
The HA16RTJ is built to your needs:
• Kubota engine using variable motor
speed halves noise level and reduces fuel
consumption by 15%;
• Anti-slip diff and manual-selected hydraulic diff
lock for severe terrain;
• Cured-on solid tyres are environmentally
friendly and last longer;
• 4-wheel steer in three steering configurations;
• Rough terrain capability is the market-leader;
• Fully modular platform: replace only the
damaged component not the whole basket -
keeping it simple and cost effective to repair.
