noise levels during operation and
a built-in shut down system for the
engine and transmission (high coolant
temperature and low oil pressure) is
standard. A high performance non-
metallic pusher fan blows dust and
debris away from the operator.
The transmission for the TXLS series
is a remote mounted, 3-speed, fully
reversing, modulated powershift
system. An operator controlled electric
declutch feature enables precise vehicle
position control and full directional
modulation ensures soft directional
changes. There is a separate air to
oil transmission cooler and a remote
mounted filter reduces oil spills.
This series is fitted with a large
capacity heavy gauge steel wall fuel tank
with an integral strainer. The hydraulic
tank, which promotes system cooling
has full flow in-tank return filtration.
Operator-friendly
Standard Taylor ULTRA-VU rigid
masts are designed for clear visibility
for the operator. There is pressure
compensated lowering control for near
equal lowering speed, whether the
stacker is empty or loaded. A mast tilt
angle indicator is standard and a tilt lock
control valve is fitted to prevent mast
twist. An additional forward mast tilt
allows high tiering and stacking of logs.
This series has been designed for easy
maintenance procedures to reduce
downtime. An electronic diagnostic
and maintenance monitor on the
engine has a fault code history for
fast problem location. The mast pivot
housing is a two piece bolt-on structure
for easy and safe service removal.
For enhanced comfort and safety,
the operator’s station mounted is in
an offset position for greater visibility
over centre mounted machines. Other
new ergonomically designed features
include fingertip full hydrostatic
steering, an air suspension seat for
reduced vibration and a tilt steering
wheel and hinge down instrument
panel. Anti-slip steps and handrails
ensure safe three point mounting and
dismounting
Other standard safety features are
forward and reverse motion alarms,
a high mounted tilt cylinder for mast
stabilization, a manual lowering valve
system in case of emergency and
dual flow control valves that prevent
the load from failing. The parking
brake, which doubles as an operator
controlled emergency brake, has a
brake saver system that prevents the
operator from driving through parking
brakes. Optional accessories for the TXLS
series include rail car clamps, log pushers
and a carriage hold down feature.

Taylor TXLS-800, TXLS-900 and
TXLS-1000 models have rated lift
capacities of 36 288 kg, 40 824 kg
and 45 360 kg respectively.
These log stackers are fitted with
Tier III turbocharged diesel engines,
with low emissions and efficient fuel
economy. Standard engine features
include an fuel/water separator, a high
capacity cooling system for operation
in all environments and engine/
transmission protection systems.
