air bleeding valves. A redesign of the combined
engine and hydraulic system radiator offers
better cooling capability to the new engine and
to the new hydrostatic transmission. Integrated
to the radiator top block is the coolant expansion
tank which now includes an electrical coolant
low level sensor. The radiator includes an oil
by-pass valve which simplifies installation of the
hydraulic system.
The cabin interior has been upgraded.
Now with a black dashboard, the new main
instrumentation cluster offers an integrated
display showing messages coming from the
engine’s electronic control unit. A new air
defroster and ventilation unit keeps the cabin
comfortable, Terex AWP said. A soft pad has
been added to the top of the right armrest and a
plastic cover on the side door provides pockets
for convenient storage of manuals.
“The new Genie GTH-5519 is an ideal
workhorse for today’s jobsites,” the company
said in a statement. “As a general purpose
machine, it can fit into tight spaces, help unload
trucks, and can efficiently carry tools such as
augers and sweepers.”
New improved fenders add to the durability
of the machine and easy access to the engine
compartment improves serviceability.
Production will begin immediately for the ANSI
and CSA markets. The new unit will be available
for South America beginning in 2014.

ACCESS, LIFT & HANDLERS
NOVEMBER-DECEMBER 2013
Bronto Skylift used ICUEE to
exhibit its new S 230 XDT
telescopic and articulated
aerial work platform. The
unit features a maximum
working height of 230
feet, a maximum working
outreach of 115 feet and a
safe working load of 300 to
1,400 pounds.
telehandler was, instead, stuck in customs. That
said, Chad Hislop, Terex Aerial Work Platforms
product manager, telehandlers, talked to
ALH
about the number of changes made to the GTH-
5519.
The GTH-5519’s specs have changed and
its overall length reduced by 5 inches. The
telehandler’s wheelbase has expanded by 2
inches and the turning radius has decreased by
3 inches. The overall weight has increased by
540 pounds to 10,360 pounds. The telehandler’s
main design changes are reflected in the engine
choice, cab design, serviceability and product
quality, the company said.
“This newly updated telehandler is even
simpler to use and service,” said Hislop. “It is
still the same machine our customers love, but
small upgrades have made a great product even
better. It is easy to drive and offers industry-
leading load capacity for its size.”
The Deutz TD 2.9 L4 Tier 4 final engine
replaces the Deutz D 2011 L4 Tier 4 interim
engine. The engine is designed in such a way
that it does not require a diesel particulate filter,
only a diesel oxidation catalyst muffler, Terex
AWP said. The power of the new engine is 55.4
kW (74 HP) at 2600 rpm compared to 50 kW (67
HP) at 2600 rpm of the original. If requested, the
new machine will be available in Q1, 2014 with
the same new engine but in Tier 3 configuration
for countries outside the U.S., such as in South
America. The updated telehandler model will no
longer offer a Perkins engine alternative.
The chassis includes an additional housing to
allow access to the hydraulic connections and

North America.
