WHAT IS A TELEHANDLER?
Telescopic handlers, or as they are most commonly known, telehandlers, are a type of machinery used typically within the construction and farming industry.
Telehandlers are wheeled machines, capable of taking on uneven terrain and are also suitable for roads. They’re often compare to forklifts trucks, however they are much more user friendly and efficient. With the use of a telescopic arm, a telehandler can reach higher areas that a forklift would be incapable of.
WHAT WOULD A TELEHANDLER BE USED FOR?
Telehandlers are fantastic for a multitude of tasks. Whilst being robust, long lasting machines, our customers can’t seem to get enough of them at the moment. So what tasks can be completed using a telehandler?
This particular type of plant equipment is used mainly to move palletised loads where a conventional forklift cannot operate. Not only are they great for lifting pallets, they can also be used for lifting:

The best thing about a telehandler is that they are versatile. With the addition of attachments, they can save a lot of time. Depending on the nature of your business, will depend solely on the attachments that you might use.
