What is a telehandler and what is it for?

It's a telescopic handler: a machine with an extendable boom that lifts loads to height and horizontal reach. With its attachments (forks, work platform, bucket, hook) it replaces a forklift on rough terrain and a small crane — ideal for construction, warehouses and agribusiness.

What equipment do you recommend to move materials in a warehouse or jobsite?

For level ground and palletized loads, load-handling equipment; to reach height or cross uneven terrain, a telehandler; and to move crew and tools across large sites, a utility vehicle. Request a quote with the weight, height and terrain type and we'll recommend the equipment.

Decision guide

Which one to choose for your job?

Find your case and see which type of equipment fits — and why. Your situation isn't an exact match? Request a quote and we'll size the precise machine.

If your case is…
Lift loads to height or cross uneven jobsite terrain
Choose: Telehandler (telescopic handler)
The extendable boom reaches height and horizontal distance a forklift can't, and it rolls over rough terrain; with attachments it replaces a forklift and a small crane — one machine does the work of several.
If your case is…
Level warehouse or plant floor and palletized loads
Choose: Load-handling equipment for firm ground
On firm, palletized surfaces the size and cost of a telehandler aren't justified; load-handling equipment is nimbler and cheaper for the warehouse cycle. The rule: terrain and height define the machine.
If your case is…
Move crew, tools and supplies across large sites
Choose: Utility vehicle (UTV)
It shortens internal trips on estates, plants and large jobsites without spending a heavy machine on transport; it boosts crew productivity by cutting walking and dead trips for tools.

We help you pick the exact equipment — no commitment.
