I was unfamiliar with what it can do.Too big, to long, it would be awkward as a cub bear for most telehandler work. Very few jobsites I've been on, have room for something like that to get around on.
I've also set up too many dumped over telehandlers, to trust the average telehandler operator with something this size.
The video is a hilarious promo piece " we don't even need cranes" and "nothing else is like this" . Well, its basically a crawler crane that can't swing.
The real push behind bigger telehandlers is simply to get away from the certification requirements of crane operators. Typically anyone and their dog is allowed on the jobsite telehandler. Making ever bigger telehandlers isn't the answer.

I have had to clip a grade closer to level with my motor grader for the big 300s on a few jobs. Watching them try to track around unlevel areas and seeing the jib move about is a little unnerving.
Definitely needs some space to move it around.
