About Pettibone Traverse Lift
Pettibone Traverse Lift is a manufacturer of material-handling equipment founded in 1881 and headquartered in Baraga, Michigan, USA. The company’s product lineups include the Cary-Lift family of rough-terrain forklifts and the Extendo and Traverse telehandler model families. The company says its Traverse telehandlers are industry’s only telescopic handlers with an extendable boom that traverses horizontally. Pettibone also produces machines for rail usage, including the Pettibone Speed Swing “do-it-all rail crane,” the Mecalac-branded 8MCR RR rail and road excavator, and the Badger CD4430R rough-terrain crane. In addition, Pettibone offers a host of attachments for sale, including magnets, booms, tongs, rail threaders, augers, snow blowers, snow ploughs, brooms, cutters, balers, grapples, hooks, couplers, buckets, blades, and backhoes.

Horizontal Traversal
Pettibone’s Traverse T944X telehandler provides up to 178 centimetres (70 inches) of horizontal boom transfer, making it easier for operators to place loads precisely without having to execute multiple boom functions. Pettibone says this economy of motion makes using a Traverse telehandler safer and more efficient. The company further states that unlike traditional fixed-boom pivots, whose true landing heights are typically several feet less than their advertised lift heights, Traverse models’ specified lift and landing heights are the same.
