Pegasus 360° 40.25 Rotating Mining Telehandler Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rotational telehandler?
A rotational telehandler, such as the Dieci Pegasus 360 40.25, features a turret-mounted boom capable of 360-degree continuous rotation, allowing loads to be lifted and positioned anywhere around the machine without the need to reposition the chassis. This continuous rotation capability provides exceptional flexibility compared to a conventional telehandler and enables a single machine to perform the roles of a telehandler, crane, and elevated work platform when equipped with the appropriate attachments.
The fully rotating upper structure makes rotational telehandlers particularly well suited to construction, industrial, and maintenance applications where access is restricted or precise load placement is essential. By minimising the need for repeated machine movements and allowing operators to work over a full 360-degree radius, a rotational telehandler can improve productivity, enhance safety, and maximise efficiency on busy worksites.
What is the difference between a 360° and 400° rotation telehandler?
The key advantage of the Dieci Pegasus 360 40.25 lies in its 360-degree continuous rotation system. Unlike non-continuous rotating telehandlers, which eventually reach a stop point and must reverse direction, the Pegasus 360 40.25 can rotate endlessly in either direction without interruption. This allows operators to maintain smooth, continuous movements when lifting and positioning loads around the machine.
The continuous rotating turret provides exceptional flexibility for construction, industrial, and maintenance applications where multiple lifts are required over a wide working area. By eliminating the need to reposition the chassis or reverse turret direction, the Pegasus 360 40.25 enables faster cycle times, improved precision, and greater productivity. Combined with the ability to operate as a telehandler, crane, or elevated work platform with the appropriate attachments, 360-degree continuous rotation helps maximise efficiency on busy worksites.
What tasks would a rotational telehander be used for on a mine site?
Rotational telehandlers are widely used in mining environments where lifting flexibility, reach, and accurate load placement are critical in often tight, rugged, and high-risk operational areas. In both open-cut and underground support operations, they are commonly used for installing and maintaining structural steel, positioning large plant components, handling heavy spares during shutdowns, and supporting conveyor and processing plant maintenance. They are also effective for tasks such as placing pipes, lifting ventilation ducting, assisting drill and blast support activities, and moving equipment into restricted or elevated locations across site infrastructure.
With suitable attachments, a rotational telehandler can also function as a mobile crane for suspended loads, or be fitted with a work platform for safe elevated maintenance access on fixed plant and structural assets.
The Dieci Pegasus 360 40.25 6, with its 360-degree continuous rotating turret, allows operators to lift and position loads across a wide working envelope without the need to constantly reposition the machine. This is particularly valuable in mining operations where ground conditions can be uneven, space around plant is limited, and minimising machine movement improves both efficiency and safety.
By combining the functions of a telehandler, crane, and elevated work platform into a single machine, a rotational telehandler helps reduce fleet requirements on site, streamline maintenance and shutdown workflows, and improve overall productivity in demanding mining environments.
What is the maximum lift height of the Pegasus 360° 40.25 mining telehandler?
With a maximum lift height of 24.1 metres and a continuously rotating turret, the Pegasus 360° 40.25 telehandler is ideally suited to a wide range of construction applications. Common uses include structural steel erection, where beams, columns, and roof trusses can be accurately positioned without constantly moving the machine.
The machine is also highly effective for installing precast concrete panels, wall sections, and floor planks, as well as lifting roofing materials and cladding into place on multi-storey buildings. With approved work platforms, it can provide safe elevated access for façade installation, glazing, painting, maintenance, and inspection tasks.
On large commercial and industrial projects, a 24.1-metre rotational telehandler can be used to place generators, air-conditioning units, tanks, and other plant equipment onto rooftops or upper levels. Its combination of telehandler, crane, and elevated work platform capabilities allows a single machine to perform multiple roles, improving productivity and reducing the need for additional equipment on site.
What steering modes does the Pegasus 360° 40.25 mining telehandler have?
The Dieci Pegasus 360° 40.25 telehandler is equipped with three steering modes; two-wheel steer, four-wheel steer, and crab steer which provide the versatility required to operate efficiently across demanding Australian construction and infrastructure projects.
Two-wheel steer delivers stable handling and is ideal for travelling longer distances around site and transporting heavy loads between work areas. Four-wheel steer significantly reduces the turning radius, allowing operators to manoeuvre the telehandler more effectively in confined spaces such as structural steel erection zones, precast yards, and busy construction sites.
Crab steer enables the front and rear wheels to turn in the same direction, allowing the machine to move diagonally. This mode is particularly valuable when positioning large beams, precast concrete elements, pipework, and modular building components alongside structures or within restricted work areas. The result is more precise load placement, improved control, and fewer machine repositioning movements, helping to increase productivity on site.
What engine powers the Pegasus 360° 40.25 mining telehandler?
The Dieci Pegasus 360° 40.25 telehandler is equipped with a 107 kW (143 hp) FPT diesel engine. The turbo charged engine meets strict Stage IIIA / Tier 3 emissions standards, resulting in a reliable and efficient rotational telehandler that is well suited to the tough conditions found on construction, civil, and infrastructure projects.
