H5 Series Benefits
Speed, Power, and Agility. Built into Every Machine.
Every H5 Series spec below exists for one reason: to get more work done per shift. Faster travel, quicker lift cycles, a tighter turn, and the ground clearance to keep moving when the terrain doesn’t cooperate.

YOUR CHOICE OF POWER

YOUR CHOICE OF POWER


Faster Cycles, More Loads Per Shift
A 35 GPM main pump lifts at 138.6 fpm, so cycles finish quicker and more material moves before the day ends.
Doesn’t Slow Down on Rough Terrain
11.5″ of ground clearance means rough terrain doesn’t slow you down or risk dragging the undercarriage.
A Stable Load, Even on Rough Terrain
The standard load cushioning accumulator absorbs the shock of uneven ground, so the load stays steady instead of bouncing.
Hydraulics That Respond to the Load
A load sensing hydraulic system adjusts to what you’re lifting, so you’re not fighting the machine to get smooth control.

MADE IN AMERICA SINCE 1937
Designed, Welded, & Assembled in Grandville, Michigan
Harlo got its start hand building vertical mast assemblies for the U.S. Navy in a Grand Rapids back alley during WWII. Nearly nine decades later, we still build every machine the same way: for people who plan to keep it running, not replace it.
