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.

What Is a Forklift Truck? Common Forklift Types and How They Work

A forklift truck, usually just called a forklift, is a powered industrial vehicle built to lift, lower and carry loads on a pair of fork arms mounted to a vertical mast. Quotor groups forklifts within the broader material handling equipment range, with conventional forklifts, rough terrain forklifts and telehandlers separated into practical subcategories based on how they lift and move loads, distinct from loaders that lift and carry on a bucket rather than a mast or boom. Forklifts appear anywhere goods need loading, moving or stacking quickly: warehouses, construction sites, ports and manufacturing plants.
