Introduction of Telehandler Forklift Rental

What is Telehandler Forklift?

 

Telehandler is also known as a telescopic handler, teleporter or boom lift. It is similar to a forklift but has a boom, which makes it more like a crane than a forklift. They feature telescopic arms that can lift loads and extend to adjust the maximum reaching and lifting height of the machine. Generally, the heavier loads able to lift with a larger telehandler, range from 2000 kg to 12000 kg. By the way, there are unable to lift a load which is the telehandler maximum lift capacity all the way to its maximum reach.

It's very useful when u need heavy loads or material shifting across rough terrain and long-distance.

The main benefits are helping with manoeuvrability and making it better for tight access project. It will save your times and useful in tight areas where regular manoeuvring.

Telehandler with Platform

 

There is usually 3 steering model for telehandlers:

 

  • Standard/front-wheel
  • All-wheel/4-wheel
  • Crab wheel

 

Standard steering is best for operating on sites that have level surfaces and minimal clutter. Alternatively, 4-wheel telehandlers can manoeuvre in tighter spaces for sites where space is at a premium. Crab-steering is best to help shift loads into those hard-to-reach areas, where precise placing is required.
