JLG 2733 Specifications
| Basic Information |
The JLG 2733 telehandler is a super-heavy-duty material-handling machine engineered to replace or supplement wheel loaders in demanding construction, mining, industrial, oil and gas, energy, infrastructure, and heavy civil operations. With an industry-leading rated capacity of 26,600 pounds (12,065 kg), the 2733 stands in a class of its own among rough-terrain telehandlers.
It offers the ability to lift, move, and
position extremely heavy loads at considerable heights and forward
reaches while maintaining the maneuverability, visibility, and
operational precision traditionally associated with telescopic handlers.
The machine provides a blend of brute strength, refined hydraulic
control, and intuitive operator interfaces that allow productivity
levels comparable to wheel loaders but with the extended reach of
telescopic boom equipment.
The telehandler is powered by a Cummins QSB4.5L Tier 4 Final diesel
engine delivering 160 Hp (119 kW) and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque,
providing excellent tractive force, drawbar pull, and hydraulic
performance even in steep or heavy-load conditions.
A hydrostatic two-speed transmission delivers smooth directional changes and variable-speed control, while the planetary axles with high-bias limited slip differential ensure consistent traction across rough terrain. Its heavy structural frame, large-section boom, and reinforced chassis components allow the machine to handle extreme loads at full height and maximum reach with confidence.
| Engine Specs |
The engine is a Cummins QSB4.5L Tier 4 Final diesel, a four-cylinder, turbocharged, common-rail powerplant delivering 160 Hp (119 kW). Displacement is 275 cubic inches (4.5 liters), with high torque output of 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) at approximately 1500 rpm, ensuring strong response at low and mid operating speeds.
The engine uses variable-geometry turbocharging for stable torque across a broad rpm band and meets stringent emissions standards using DEF-based aftertreatment. Fuel tank capacity is 43 gallons (163 liters).
Engine performance characteristics favor heavy push power, load-lifting capability, and continuous operation under high thermal stress. The cooling system integrates heavy-duty radiators, high-capacity airflow management, and reinforced plumbing designed for industrial duty cycles.
| Drive Train |
The telehandler uses a hydrostatic transmission with
two forward and two reverse speeds. Hydrostatic drive delivers precise inching
control, smooth low-speed maneuvering, and excellent responsiveness during load
placement. Travel speed reaches approximately 17 miles per hour (28 km per
hour). The driveline is engineered to deliver high drawbar pull, measured at
28,500 pounds (127 kilonewtons) in loaded condition, enabling the machine to
push, climb, and traverse difficult surfaces with confidence.
Axles are trunnion-mounted planetary units with 48-degree steering capability
and integral steering cylinders. The heavy-duty front axle incorporates a
high-bias limited slip differential, significantly improving tractive
performance when operating on uneven, loose, or slippery terrain. Axle
construction includes reinforced housings and large-capacity hubs designed to
support extremely heavy loads transmitted during lifting, travel, and dynamic
braking.
Braking is provided through inboard wet-disc brakes at both front and rear
axles, giving long service life, superior cooling, and consistent braking
performance. Parking brakes are wet-disc, spring-applied, and hydraulically
released, located on the front axle. The system ensures reliable holding
capability even on slopes or during heavy load handling. Brake-inching
functionality allows fine control of boom movements while reducing travel speed
without fully braking the driveline.
| Electrical System |
The electrical system is a 12-volt architecture featuring a robust alternator sized to support engine electronics, lighting, attachment systems, DEF handling, and cabin electronics. The operator display includes voltmeter, engine oil pressure gauge, fuel level indication, differential exhaust fluid gauge, hourmeter, and temperature gauge.
Wiring harnesses are industrial-grade and routed for maximum protection against abrasion, heat, and environmental exposure. Diagnostic capability is integrated into the multifunction display, supporting fast troubleshooting and maintenance.
| Wheels and Tires |
The machine features full-time four-wheel drive through planetary axles. Standard tires are 17.5-25 pneumatic CAMSO L2, engineered for severe off-road applications. Optional tires include CAMSO L3, heavy-duty foam-filled variants, or other specialized tread patterns for mines, quarries, and high-puncture environments.
The chassis frame is reinforced to accommodate
the telehandler’s extreme lifting capacities, including a large
cross-section boom foot, heavy boom tower, extended outrigging surfaces,
and strengthened steering knuckles. The machine’s weight is 38,775
pounds (17,555 kg), providing stability and resistance to tipping at
near-maximum load charts.
Steering is hydraulic power-assisted with manual backup functionality
for emergency operation. Steering modes include front-wheel steer,
four-wheel circle steer for minimum turning radius, and crab steer for
parallel movement to structures or load surfaces. The outside turning
radius is 176 inches (4.5 meters), exceptional given the machine’s large
frame size and lift capacity. Steering linkages and cylinders are
integrated within the axle structure for protection and reduced
maintenance exposure.
| Hydraulic System |
Hydraulic power is provided by a load-sense piston pump with an overall implement hydraulic capacity of 67 gallons (255 liters). Load-sense technology ensures that hydraulic pressure and flow are delivered only when needed, improving efficiency, reducing engine load, and minimizing heat buildup.
Auxiliary hydraulics are standard, enabling operation of forks, buckets, winches, grapples, log handlers, and specialized heavy-duty attachments. Load-holding valves are integrated into major circuits for lift, tilt, and extension functions to maintain load stability, prevent unintended motion, and comply with industry safety requirements.
| Performance Data |
Rated lifting capacity is 26,600 pounds (12,065 kg), the highest in its class. Maximum lift height is 33 feet 1 inch (10.1 meters), enabling the machine to place heavy loads such as precast concrete panels, large bundles, industrial components, pipe, steel, and mining consumables at multi-story elevations.
Load at maximum height remains exceptionally
high at 15,500 pounds (7,030 kg), allowing placement of full pallets or
structural elements without requiring a crane.
Maximum forward reach is 17 feet 7 inches (5.37 meters), with a load
capacity of 8,000 pounds (3,628 kg). This allows heavy picks to be
placed beyond obstructions, over walls, or into structures.
The machine is engineered to maintain stable load handling throughout the load chart envelope. Drawbar pull reaches 28,500 pounds (127 kilonewtons), providing substantial traction and pushing ability.
| Dimensions and Weight |
The telehandler’s
dimensions include:
- Overall height: approximately 98 inches (2.50 meters)
- Overall width: approximately 142 inches (3.60 meters)
- Overall length to fork face: 249 inches (6.32 meters)
- Ground clearance: 17 inches (440 mm)
Fork carriage options include 60-inch, 72-inch, and 87-inch widths. Pallet forks
are available in lengths from 48 inches (1.2 meters) up to 96 inches (2.4
meters), with widths and thicknesses selected for high load capacities.
Free-lift capability depends on carriage
selection and boom configuration but is optimized for industrial pallet
operations. Attachments can provide expanded reach and manipulation
capability, including buckets, grapples, log handlers, tire handlers,
winches, pipe grapples, and steel coil handlers.
Operating weight is 38,775 pounds (17,555 kg). Counterweight mass is
integrated into the chassis rather than modular, maximizing load chart
performance without user adjustment. Attachment weights influence load
chart performance and must be factored into operational planning.
| Maintenance Data |
Routine maintenance includes daily checks of fuel level, DEF fluid, engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant, tire condition, and structural inspection of boom and frame. Greasing intervals follow heavy-duty duty cycle requirements, with pivot pins, boom sections, carriage linkages, and steering joints requiring regular lubrication.
Engine service intervals follow Cummins
recommendations for heavy equipment duty cycles, typically involving oil
and filter replacement at rated intervals, fuel filter changes, air
intake monitoring, and DEF aftertreatment cleaning as needed.
Hydraulic system maintenance includes filter replacement, inspection of
hoses and fittings, periodic sampling of hydraulic oil, and monitoring
for contamination. Axle and drivetrain maintenance includes periodic oil
replacement, torque checks, and inspection of limited slip
differentials. Electrical and diagnostic systems require periodic
scanning for codes, inspection of connectors, and verification of safety
systems.
