Abstract

The present disclosure is directed towards a wear pad for a telehandler. A pad body extends across a thickness between opposing sliding and mount surfaces. The sliding surface is configured for a sliding boom section to slide therealong. A wire conductor extends through the thickness of the pad body at a wear depth from the sliding surface. When the sliding boom section wears down the thickness of the pad body by the wear depth to contact the at least one wire conductor, the wire conductor conducts an electrical current from a power source to the sliding boom section. Also disclosed is a wear pad arrangement with a wear monitoring system, a telehandler with such an arrangement and a method of monitoring a wear pad of a telehandler.
