JLG 2733 Telehandler Description
When the job demands maximum power, capacity, and precision, few machines rise to the challenge like the JLG 26,600 lb telehandler. Built to perform in the most rugged and demanding industrial and construction environments, this telehandler is a titan among material handlers. With its immense lifting capability, extended reach, and rugged design, it is a vital asset for industries such as oil and gas, mining, large-scale construction, shipyards, and infrastructure development.
Overview of the JLG 26,600 lb Telehandler
The JLG 26,600 lb telehandler, often recognized by its model number JLG 2733, is one of the most powerful machines in JLG's telehandler lineup. This model has a maximum lift capacity of 26,600 pounds (12,065 kg)—making it ideal for moving extremely heavy loads that traditional telehandlers simply can't handle.
It also offers a maximum lift height of approximately 33 feet (10 meters), with forward reach capabilities that make it highly versatile for placing loads in elevated or hard-to-access locations. With industry-leading visibility, stability, and lifting power, the JLG 2733 ensures that operators can handle large loads with confidence and efficiency.
Key Specifications
- Lift Capacity: 26,600 lb (12,065 kg)
- Maximum Lift Height: ~33 ft (10 m)
- Maximum Forward Reach: ~17-18 ft
- Engine Power: 164 hp (Tier 4 Final compliant diesel engine)
- Turning Radius: 13 ft 2 in (tight for its class)
- Operator Cab: Enclosed, with ergonomic controls and optional air conditioning
- Frame-Leveling: Hydraulic, standard
- Tires: Heavy-duty foam-filled or solid options available
These specifications speak to the machine's commitment to high-capacity lifting without sacrificing mobility or control.
Built for Big Jobs
The 26,600 lb telehandler isn't a tool for everyday lifting. It's an industrial powerhouse engineered for massive structural beams, precast concrete, heavy piping, steel coils, modular buildings, and even shipping containers. Its design enables it to perform reliably in environments where crane use may be limited or less efficient—especially on job sites with variable terrain or limited space.
Because of its robust build and extended capabilities, the JLG 2733 is increasingly favored in infrastructure projects, bridge construction, heavy industrial plants, and offshore oil platforms, where moving bulky equipment is routine.
Improved Operator Experience
Heavy equipment operators appreciate more than just lifting power-they require comfort, visibility, and ease of use. The JLG 26,600 lb telehandler delivers on all three fronts.
The enclosed cab is engineered for all-weather operation, offering:
- Panoramic visibility from the operator's seat
- Joystick controls that are intuitive and reduce operator fatigue
- A digital display that monitors machine performance, fuel usage, and hydraulic settings
- Optional climate control to support long workdays in harsh conditions
The improved sightlines are particularly important for heavy lifting operations where accuracy is critical. The cab positioning and large windows allow operators to better view their surroundings, load path, and landing zone—minimizing risks associated with blind spots.
Safety and Stability
Safety is a top concern when moving tens of thousands of pounds, and the JLG 26,600 lb telehandler is loaded with features that reduce risks on the job site:
- Load Stability Indicator (LSI) that warns operators of potential overload situations
- Hydraulic frame leveling to stabilize the machine on uneven ground
- Boom interlock system that prevents unsafe operation
- Four-wheel drive and three steering modes for superior maneuverability in tight spaces or uneven terrain
JLG has incorporated redundant safety features and smart hydraulic systems to ensure the machine can handle extreme loads without compromising operator control.
Versatility with Attachments
Like all JLG telehandlers, the 26,600 lb model is compatible with a variety of attachments that extend its functionality:
- Standard forks for material handling
- Carriages with side shift for precise load placement
- Buckets for bulk material moving
- Truss booms for lifting suspended loads
- Work platforms for personnel access at height
This attachment versatility means the same machine can lift, load, scoop, or suspend—reducing the need for additional equipment and improving job site efficiency.
Ease of Maintenance
Despite its power, the JLG 26,600 lb telehandler is designed with maintenance in mind. Features include:
- Ground-level access to key service points
- Extended service intervals
- On-board diagnostics to reduce troubleshooting time
- Modular components for faster part replacement
For fleet managers and operators, this means less downtime, lower long-term maintenance costs, and a better return on investment.
Environmental and Regulatory Compliance
Equipped with a Tier 4 Final diesel engine, the JLG 2733 meets current EPA emissions standards. This makes it compliant for operation in a variety of jurisdictions, including those with strict emissions regulations, without sacrificing performance or fuel efficiency.
Its eco-friendly design includes:
- Regenerative braking to conserve energy
- Fuel-efficient hydraulic systems that adjust power output as needed
- Optional telemetry integration to monitor fuel use and operational metrics remotely
Ideal Use Cases
While its size may limit it on compact job sites, the JLG 26,600 lb telehandler excels in:
- Wind turbine installation and maintenance
- Steel erection for high-rise buildings
- Precast concrete plant operations
- Mining site material movement
- Port terminals and container yards
- Modular building assembly
In each of these applications, its strength, lift height, and reach drastically improve material flow and reduce the need for multiple lifting machines.
