DIECI’S MULTIFUNCTIONAL ROTATING TELEHANDLERS
The Dieci range of rotating telehandlers offer unparalleled adaptability with 360° continuous rotation, seamlessly transitioning between telehandler, aerial platform, and crane functions. Dieci Australia’s National Sales Manager Bob Mules takes a deep dive into the Dieci Pegasus 50.21 explaining why it is such a popular model.
THE PEGASUS 50.21 SURPASSES OTHER telehandlers in reach capabilities thanks to the rotation of the turret, offering 20.5 meters maximum lift height which ensures this model is ideal for the most challenging construction working conditions. With a wide array of available attachments, the Pegasus 50.21 can effortlessly move between functions of a telehandler, crane, and aerial platform, consolidating the needs of an entire construction site into one vehicle. Its user-friendly controls, durable build, and advanced safety features, including a load limiter and height and slew limiters, provide precise control across construction, mining, tunnelling, and quarrying
applications.
Engineered for stability and safety both on level ground and off-road, these machines boast an outstanding self-levelling system, adaptive loading software, and anti-crash technology to mitigate risks posed by challenging construction conditions. The Pegasus 50.21 delivers unparalleled performance, extreme power, precise movement control, and soundproofing for unmatched comfort.
“The Pegasus 50.21 has a lifting capacity of five tonnes, and a maximum reach of 20.5 meters. It’s been a really popular model for a number of years.
As a rotational telehandler it has 360° continuous rotation which enables you to set up like a crane, you can pick up your load and place it on the 4th or 5th story of a building, or you can turn around and place the load somewhere on the other side of the machine. “It provides multifunctional performance, not only is it a telehandler, it can be fitted with a man basket and function as an elevated work platform or fit it with a hook and it functions as a crane. Smooth handling is a key feature for the operator and the curved glass on the cab provides outstanding panoramic
visibility. The cab also features integrated LED lights for working at night,” said Bob.
The Pegasus 50.21 raises the bar for onsite safety featuring intelligent safety systems like adaptive load control, slew limiters, automatic axle locking and self levelling systems. “Operator safety and the safety of those working around the machine have been priorities when it comes to the design of the Pegasus 50.21. As well as the key safety features, we can add cameras to the machine including boom and reverse cameras which stay on all the time. We can also add systems which identify workers or pedestrians that are within the vicinity of the machine,” said Bob. From off-road stability to inner-city versatility, the Pegasus 50.21 is engineered for total performance—on wheels or outriggers. Dieci’s Italian design ethos shines through in the Pegasus 50.21, combining rugged performance with comfort features including the soundproofed cab, air suspension seat and real-time system feedback via the TFT display.
“With its 20.5 meter lifting height and 139hp of power, the machine puts total control and site efficiency into the hands of the operator whether lifting, placing, or maneuvering at height, the Pegasus 50.21 delivers confidence, control and capability, every time, it’s a tried and tested machine,” said Bob. Bob goes on to discuss some of the applications where the Pegasus 50.21 is proving to be the ideal machine.
“The 50.21 is proving to be highly versatile, as it can be used to pick and carry loads as well as set up on outriggers for the larger, higher placements when needed. With applications across a wide range of projects, we’ve seen it actively used on infrastructure developments and it has become a popular choice among Tier One builders, particularly for tunnel construction, multi-storey high-rise projects, and general construction sites.
A number of units are currently operating across Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane on major infrastructure and tunnelling projects.” he said.
