Pettibone Traverse Lift LLC is a major manufacturer of telehandlers, extended-reach and rough-terrain forklifts, as well as other material-handling equipment. The company's history includes an amazingly diverse range of construction-equipment products, including some of the most unusual wheel loaders ever built. Pettibone was the largest builder of rigid-frame wheel loaders, in this author's knowledge, to never take the next evolutionary step into articulated loaders. Perhaps the Speed-Swing Loader was seen as a better avenue for the company to explore. All images are reproduced from Pettibone sales literature in the HCEA Archives. The Speedall PM440H's unusual bucket mounting gave it an extra-high, 14-foot dumping clearance and a 90-degree rollout for its 3-cubic yard (struck) standard bucket. The "H" indicated high clearance. This model was known to have been built in 1961 and 1962.
