*Traverse T1157 is currently in the prototype stage and will be available for second quarter of 2008.


When asked about the reasons behind the popular machines™ redesign and up-rating, company


Product Manager Dan Blondeau said, The idea for up-rating actually originated with our dealers


who wanted to know if we could make our machines even more competitive than they already


were. We we™re confident that with a few modest design changes the machines were capable of


more, so we made the changes, ran the tests, and proved it. We™ve built machines that have a


tested and verified additional 1,000 pounds capacity, he continued. That means our customers


get an even better, more capable and more versatile machine. That™s a win-win situation for


everyone. 


Pettibone representatives and the newly up-rated equipment, including the company™s


forthcoming Traverse T1157, will be present at the upcoming World of Concrete show in Las


Vegas, January 21-25, where Pettibone will be sponsoring the Telehandler Skills Challenge.
