JLG 4017RS Specifications
The JLG 4017RS telehandler is a high-reach,
high-capacity rough-terrain material handler engineered for demanding
construction, industrial logistics, infrastructure maintenance, and rental fleet
applications. Combining a 4,000-kg rated capacity with a maximum lift height of
17.1 metres, the 4017RS is designed to deliver strong performance at significant
elevation while ensuring stability, operator safety, and ease of operation.
Its Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 diesel engine, three-speed
powershift transmission, multi-mode steering, and robust hydraulic
system provide a well-balanced blend of power, durability, and
responsive control.
The machine follows JLG’s RS design philosophy -
simplicity, ruggedness, and ease of service - making it an ideal choice
for fleets requiring long-term reliability and low downtime. With
load-holding valves, intuitive hydraulic operation, ergonomic controls,
and excellent cab visibility, the 4017RS enables precise material
placement at height.
The reinforced chassis, stabilisers, and
frame-levelling system ensure safe operation over varied terrain. This
telehandler is engineered to operate efficiently in challenging site
conditions while maintaining low operating costs.
The 4017RS telehandler is powered by the Deutz TCD 3.6
L4 engine, a four-cylinder, liquid-cooled, turbocharged diesel powerplant known
for excellent torque delivery, fuel efficiency, and compliance with modern
emission standards. The engine provides the torque and responsiveness necessary
for heavy lifting at full boom extension while supporting sustained hydraulic
operation.
Engine specifications:
- Make and model: Deutz TCD 3.6 L4
- Cylinders: 4
- Displacement: 3.6 L
- Gross engine power: 55.4 kW
- Maximum torque: 390 Nm at 1,300 rpm
- Fuel tank capacity: 150 L
The engine uses high-pressure common-rail fuel injection, an electronic control
module, and integrated emissions-control components. Its torque curve supports
stable boom functions and confident travel even with heavy loads. Routine
service includes maintaining clean airflow, monitoring coolant levels, replacing
filters, and ensuring proper fuel quality.
The 4017RS employs a three-speed powershift
transmission designed for reliability and smooth directional changes.
Transmission
- Transmission type: 3-speed forward and reverse powershift
- Gear speeds: 1st 5 km/h, 2nd 10 km/h, 3rd 20 km/h
- Drive configuration: 4-wheel drive
This transmission gives operators the ability to match machine speed to site
conditions, with first gear intended for controlled manoeuvring and lifting, and
higher gears supporting travel across the work area.
Axles
- Trunnion-mounted planetary steer axles
- Integral steer cylinder
- High-bias limited-slip differential on the front axle
These axle features enhance traction on uneven or soft terrain and maintain
wheel contact through oscillation, improving ride stability and
material-handling confidence.
Brakes
- Service brakes: inboard wet-disc brakes on front and rear axles
- Service brakes are servo-assisted
- Parking brake: hydraulic, integrated for secure stationary holding
Wet-disc brakes are highly resistant to contamination and wear, offering
consistent braking performance in severe environments.
The electrical system supports engine management,
safety monitoring, operational indicators, and lighting.
Standard instrumentation includes:
- Maintenance indicator
- Water-temperature gauge
- Fuel gauge
- Hourmeter
- Boom lift and crowd functions on joystick
- Engine oil-pressure gauge
The system offers essential diagnostics and monitoring to help operators detect
early signs of malfunction. Weather-sealed electrical connectors and durable
harness routing protect components from dust, vibration, and moisture.
Drive System
- Full-time 4-wheel drive
- Planetary axle reduction
The frame is reinforced for torsional strength during lifting operations at high
extension, and stabilisers increase the working envelope.
Tires
- Standard tyres: Mitas 14.00-24 TG02
- Optional tyres: Goodyear or Michelin equivalents, pneumatic
The tyres provide strong off-road performance and stability under load.
Steering configuration:
- Two-wheel steer
- Four-wheel steer
- Crab-steer mode
Hydraulic power steering enables smooth directional inputs, with multi-mode
capability allowing the telehandler to manoeuvre into restricted spaces or align
parallel to surfaces for placement tasks.
Hydraulic system
specs:
- Pump type: gear pump
- Maximum pump flow: 100 L/min
- Implement-hydraulic reservoir: 100 L capacity
- Auxiliary hydraulic flow: 100 L/min (intermittent)
- Load-holding valves on lift, tilt, extend, and leveling cylinders
The hydraulic circuit is tuned for smooth, predictable boom movement.
Load-holding valves prevent uncommanded boom drift, particularly when the
machine is carrying a suspended load or working at height.
Cycle Times
- Lift speed (boom retracted): up 20.9 sec, down 16.6 sec
- Boom extension: 24.3 sec
- Boom retraction: 18.5 sec
- Max dump: 3.5 sec
- Max crowd: 3.7 sec
- Rated lift capacity: 4,000 kg (8,818 lb)
- Maximum lift height: 17.1 m (56 ft)
- Load at max height: 2,500 kg (5,512 lb)
- Load at max reach (stabilisers down): 500 kg (1,102 lb)
- Frame-levelling capability: 10 degrees
- Breakout force: 72 kN
- Overall length: 6,372 mm
- Width: 2,350 mm
- Height: 2,684 mm (2,834 mm high-cab option)
- Ground clearance: 458 mm
- Wheelbase: 3,235 mm
- Stabiliser width (down): 2,800 mm
- Outside turning radius: 3.92 m
- Pallet forks: 1,200 x 60 x 100 mm

- Hydraulic reservoir level check
- Tyre inspection and inflation
- Steering and brake function test
- Visual inspection of boom structure and cylinders
- Lubrication of required grease points
- Checking attachment pins and locks
