Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD 4.5T Mining Telehandler
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD 4.5t telehandler is engineered to deliver exceptional reach, strength and stability, making it an ideal solution for construction, infrastructure, mining and industrial applications where working at height is essential. Its robust and durable boom ensures reliable performance under heavy loads, while independent outriggers provide maximum stability on uneven or rough terrain, allowing operators to work confidently in challenging conditions.
Designed for versatility, the Icarus 45.17 GD is compatible with a wide range of attachments, including forks, loading buckets, lifting hooks, jibs with winches, grippers, material baskets, mixing buckets, concrete ladles and sweepers. Automatic attachment recognition further enhances efficiency by allowing the telehandler to automatically configure operating parameters based on the connected equipment, reducing setup time and simplifying daily operations.
The ROPS and FOPS approved operator cab is equipped with comprehensive safety systems and designed to deliver outstanding comfort during long operating hours. All boom movements are controlled via an ergonomic 4-in-1 joystick, providing smooth, precise and intuitive handling. A clear, easy-to-read instrument panel with well-positioned controls ensures excellent visibility and ease of use, while all machine functions are managed through a single electronic control unit with advanced diagnostic capabilities to optimise performance and simplify maintenance.
To support reliable operation in harsh environments such as mining and tunnelling, the engine hood has been engineered to reduce noise emissions and optimise heat dissipation. The Icarus 45.17 GD is also fitted with a separator pre-filter on the air intake system, preventing dust and abrasive particles from entering the engine, improving efficiency and significantly extending the telehandler’s service life.

Icarus 45.17 GD 4t Mining Telehandler | Frequently Asked Questions
What does GD stand for? What is a Giugiaro Design cab?
GD stands for Giugiaro Design and is a modern cab designed by renowned Italian design house Giugiaro, combining operator comfort, visibility, and functionality with Dieci’s commitment to innovation and productivity. The spacious cab incorporates premium soft-touch interior finishes, increased legroom, an adjustable steering column and armrest, and a heated operator seat available with a choice of three suspension systems to maximise comfort during long shifts.
Excellent all-round visibility is achieved through 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 provides clear visibility of hard-to-see areas around the machine.
Designed for demanding mining and industrial environments, the cab also features an advanced climate control system with six air vents for rapid window demisting, an opening rear window and roof section for improved airflow, an integrated electric side window, and a dual air filtration system that helps protect operators from dust, airborne contaminants, and odours commonly encountered on site.
How is the Dieci Icarus 45.17 mining telehandler different from other 4.5t telehandlers?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 4.5T mining telehandler stands out in its class by offering 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 exceed many telehandlers in the 4.5-tonne category, it provides the capability to safely position materials, equipment, and maintenance components in elevated and hard-to-access areas without the need for larger, more expensive machines.
Purpose-built for demanding mining and industrial applications, the Icarus 45.17 is equipped with front stabiliser outriggers that deliver outstanding stability when handling heavy loads at height or extended reach. This allows operators to work with greater confidence, precision, and efficiency in challenging mine site environments, making the machine an ideal solution for maintenance, shutdowns, construction projects, and day-to-day material handling tasks.
What engine powers the Icarus 45.17 mining 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 mining telehandler use?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 mining telehandler is fitted with a hydrostatic transmission and servo-controlled two-speed gearbox, providing smooth operation, accurate control, and strong low-speed tractive force. This advanced drivetrain is well suited to the demanding environments of mining and tunnelling, where precise manoeuvrability, responsive handling, and controlled power delivery are critical to safe and efficient operation.
What attachments can the Icarus 45.17 GD mining telehandler use?
What size are the fuel and hydraulic tanks on the Icarus 45.17 GD mining telehandler?
The Dieci Icarus 45.17 GD mining telehandler features a 120L diesel fuel tank. The hydraulic pump has a flow rate of 114L per minute and operates at up to 26 MPa (3,771 psi) providing the power required for Australian mining and maintenance operations.
What is the difference between the Icarus 45.17 GD mining telehandler and the regular Icarus 45.17 GD?
The mine-spec Icarus 45.17 GD telehandler has been engineered to meet the stringent safety, compliance, and durability standards demanded by Australian mining operations. Equipped with a comprehensive range of mine-spec upgrades as standard, it is built to withstand the harsh conditions commonly encountered across mine sites, processing facilities, and industrial projects.
To ensure the machine is fully aligned with your operational requirements, our team can also provide a range of customised modifications tailored to your site’s specific safety protocols, environmental conditions, and application needs. This flexibility allows the Icarus 45.17 GD to be configured for maximum productivity, reliability, and compliance in even the most demanding mining environments.
