Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Xtreme
Manufacturing produces a large range
of heavy-duty, rough terrain telescopic
forklifts, with products capable of lifting
up to 31,750kg (70,000lbs).
Designed to withstand tough jobsite
conditions, Xtreme telehandlers are
constructed from steel and utilise high
quality components to ensure reliability
and durability.
According to Glenn Martin, Managing
Director of Ahern Australia, innovative
features, such as long life boom rollers
deliver a smoother boom extension
and retraction than industry-standard
wear pads, as well as being virtually
maintenance-free.
"The chassis and boom are designed
to ensure 360° operator visibility from
the cab, as standard, helping to improve
jobsite safety," Glenn said.
“In addition, an integrated boom lift point
is fitted as standard to the horsehead of
every Xtreme telehandler, providing a
safer and more convenient method for
handling suspended loads."
In the cab, innovative boom controls
permit the operator to keep one hand on
the steering wheel at all times. All Xtreme
telehandlers are backed by a 10 year –
five year – two year warranty.
The Xtreme XR1045 and XR1255 models
are now available to order for the first
time in the region, fromAhern Australia.
Both models meet Australian standards
and further models from the 16-strong
range will be introduced in 2016.
“The Xtreme XR1045 is designed to
be the ideal balance of reach, height,
capacity, and manoeuverability. It is
designed particularly for manoeuvering
in tight spaces, parking garages and
crowded jobsites.
XR1045 Key Specifications include:
• lift capacity: 4,535kg (10,000lbs);
• lift height: 13.7m (45ft);
• forward reach: 9.2m (30ft 4in); and
• engine: 111hp Tier III Flex.
“The Xtreme XR1045 is also useful as

all Xtreme telehandlers, the XR1045
comes equipped as standard with a

tire sizes. Additionally, there are many
attachments available which increase the
flexibility of the lift, including a pipe and

both telehandlers.
