Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD 4.5T telehandler
The new Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD 4.5T telehandler is purpose-built for large-scale construction, industrial and infrastructure projects, delivering exceptional strength, power and impressive lifting heights to handle demanding workloads with confidence. Designed for operators who require reliability and performance in tough environments, the Icarus 45.17 GD offers the capability to lift heavy loads safely and efficiently across busy worksites.
Engineered with operator comfort and durability in mind, the engine hood has been specifically designed to minimise noise emissions while optimising heat dissipation, helping maintain consistent performance during extended operating hours. As construction and industrial sites are often exposed to dusty and abrasive conditions, the Icarus 45.17 GD is equipped with a separator pre-filter applied to the air intake system. This pre-filter reduces the ingress of dust and abrasive particles into the engine, improving overall efficiency, reducing wear, and contributing to a longer engine service life.
The ROPS and FOPS approved operator cab on the Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD 4.5 tonne telehandler ensures a high level of safety and comfort, even when working in extreme climatic conditions commonly experienced on Australian worksites. For enhanced operator wellbeing, the cab can be fitted with an upgraded air conditioning system, providing effective air circulation and temperature control throughout the cabin. This creates a comfortable, ergonomic working environment that supports productivity during long shifts in challenging conditions.
We also sell a range of 2 to 7t telehandlers and heavy-duty 13 to 23ton telehandlers.

Icarus 45.17 GD 4t Telehandler | Frequently Asked Questions
What does the GD stand for in Icarus 45.17 GD? What is a Giugiaro Design cab?
GD stands for Giugiaro Design and represents Dieci’s premium cab concept, developed in collaboration with the renowned Italian design house Giugiaro. Combining contemporary styling with practical functionality, the GD cab is designed to maximise operator comfort, visibility, and productivity across construction, infrastructure, industrial, and material handling applications. The spacious interior features premium soft-touch finishes, increased legroom, an adjustable steering column and armrest, and a heated operator seat available with a choice of three suspension systems to ensure comfort throughout long working days.
Outstanding all-round visibility is provided by large panoramic windows, strategically positioned LED work lights on the cab, boom, and machine perimeter, electrically adjustable heated mirrors, and a three-camera wireless monitoring system that helps operators maintain awareness of the surrounding work area and improve on-site safety.
To enhance comfort in all weather conditions, the GD cab is equipped with an advanced climate control system featuring six air vents for rapid window demisting, an opening rear window and roof section for improved ventilation, an integrated electric side window, and a dual air filtration system that helps maintain a clean and comfortable operating environment. The result is a modern, operator-focused workspace that supports productivity, safety, and efficiency across a wide range of applications.
How is the Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler different from other 4.5t telehandlers?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 4.5T telehandler stands out in its class by delivering an exceptional combination of lifting capacity, lift height, and forward reach. With a maximum lift height of 16.4 metres and up to 12.6 metres of forward reach, figures that surpass many telehandlers in the 4.5-tonne category; it offers the versatility to safely place materials, equipment, and loads in elevated or difficult-to-access areas while reducing the need for larger, more costly lifting equipment.
Designed for demanding construction, infrastructure, industrial, and material handling applications, the Icarus 45.17 is equipped with front stabiliser outriggers that provide excellent stability when handling heavy loads at height or at extended reach. This enables operators to work with greater confidence, precision, and efficiency across a wide range of tasks, from steel erection and building construction to maintenance work, equipment installation, and general site material handling.
What engine powers the Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler?
The Dieci Runner 40.13 mining telehandler is powered by a reliable FPT 4-cylinder diesel engine producing 125 hp (93 kW) at 2,200 rpm. Meeting Stage IIIA / Tier 3 emissions standards, this proven engine delivers the strength, durability, and fuel efficiency needed to perform in demanding mining and industrial environments.
What transmission system does the Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler use?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler is equipped with a hydrostatic transmission and servo-controlled two-speed gearbox, delivering smooth operation, precise control, and strong low-speed tractive effort. This advanced drivetrain provides excellent manoeuvrability and responsive handling, allowing operators to position loads accurately and work confidently in confined spaces, busy job sites, and challenging terrain.
Designed to perform across a wide range of construction, industrial, infrastructure, and material handling applications, the Icarus 45.17 GD offers controlled power delivery and efficient operation, helping to improve productivity while maintaining a high level of operator comfort and machine performance.
What attachments can the Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler use?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler can be fitted with a wide range of attachments, making it a highly versatile machine for construction, infrastructure, industrial, and general material handling applications. Common attachments include pallet forks for transporting materials and components, lifting jibs for positioning equipment at height or extended reach, and buckets for bulk material handling, site clean-up, and light earthmoving tasks.
For more specialised applications, the machine can also be configured with attachments such as work platforms for safe elevated access, crane hooks for lifting suspended loads, and a variety of other purpose-built tools depending on site requirements. This flexibility allows the Icarus 45.17 GD to perform multiple roles on site, improving equipment utilisation, reducing downtime, and minimising the need for additional machinery across a range of projects.
Note: Prior arrangement is required for the use of elevated work platforms (EWPs).
What size are the fuel and hydraulic tanks on the Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler is equipped with a 120L diesel fuel tank, providing ample capacity for extended operating periods across demanding job sites. Its hydraulic system delivers a flow rate of 114L per minute and operates at pressures of up to 26 MPa (3,771 psi), ensuring strong, consistent performance for lifting, handling, and auxiliary functions.
This robust hydraulic capability supports a wide range of construction, infrastructure, industrial, and material handling applications, delivering the power and responsiveness required for efficient operation in high-demand working environments.
What steering modes does the Icarus 45.17 GD have?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler is equipped with three steering modes that enhance manoeuvrability and control across a wide range of job site conditions.
Two-wheel steer (2WS) is ideal for standard road travel and general on-site driving, providing stable handling and efficient movement over longer distances. Four-wheel steer (4WS) improves manoeuvrability in tighter working environments, allowing for a reduced turning radius and greater precision when positioning the machine in confined spaces. Crab steer enables all wheels to turn in the same direction, allowing the telehandler to move diagonally; particularly useful for working alongside structures, walls, or in restricted access areas where precise lateral movement is required.
