The freshly updated GT5048 is Giant’s only side-boom telehandler model. We take a seat in the little machine … to see how much better it is than its predecessor
It is more than eight years since we tested the Tobroco-Giant 4548 Tendo in our two part group test (profi 12/2012, 1/2013). Two generations later, the GT5048 has hit the market, with the need to install a Stage V motor providing the stimulus to introduce the new model. To do this it fits a three-cyl, Kubota 36kW/50hp engine with a DOC and DPF.
