Telehandlers

A telehandler (which stands for telescopic handler) is a versatile type of lifting machine with a telescopic boom that extends forwards and upwards. Forklifts, cranes and work platforms roll into one — making the all-terrain vehicle perfect for construction, agriculture, and industrial use. With the proper attachment, they are versatile machines that can be equipped with a fork, bucket, or lifting jib for material handling, loading, and high-reach operations. They are an integral aspect of many jobs that require precision lifting in difficult-to-reach areas, thanks to their all-terrain capabilities and extendable reach.
