Three steering modes – 4-wheel, 2-wheel and crab – enhance maneuverability and are easily changed by the flip of a switch.
- In 4-wheel steer, the machine has a 13' 11" turning radius for machine positioning on tight job site.
The RS12-42 GEN:3 Telescopic Handlers provides the power to get work done effectively and efficiently.
- Dana four-speed power-shift transmission (4-forward/3-reverse speeds) is easy to operate.
- Limited-slip differential in the front axle provides additional traction in muddy and unimproved surfaces.
- Transmission clutch cut-out is switchable, and when activated allows faster engine acceleration and more power to the hydraulic system when the brake pedal is depressed.
The model RS12-42 GEN:3 has outstanding hydraulic system and control performance.
- Dual-function, pilot-assisted joystick is standard equipment.
- Optional tri-function, pilot-assisted joystick allows the operator to set fork tilt and auxiliary function speeds.
- Auto-leveling feature keeps loads level when raising/lowering the boom.
Plenty of access points and over-sized covers make service and maintenance on the RS12-42 GEN:3 a snap.
- Over-sized front cover provides easy access to the hydraulic reservoir and hydraulic pressure ports for service and testing.
- Side-mounted fuel tank with battery access and an additional storage compartment.
- Lockable rear-side covers located on both sides of the machine slide out of the way to expose the engine for service.
- Shorter hoses from main valve to boom provide neat hose routing, enhancing serviceability.
