Different Attachments

A telehandler is a large piece of construction machinery, also known as a boom lift or a forklift. There are numerous different attachments that can be secured to the telehandler in order to safely operate the machine and tailor the telehandler to a specific task.

You may need to secure a winch, a bucket, or a basket onto the end of the machinery, depending upon the task at hand and the type of conditions you are working with.

A telescopic handler is an extremely large piece of machinery, offering 4-wheel steering as well as a 4-wheel drive, although the size of the telehandler itself can vary from as small as 4m up to an enormous 46m. You may be required to complete plant operations using a fixed cab, enabling you to lift, carry or move heavy loads whilst maintaining machine stability.

Alternatively, you may be required to operate a rotating cab depending on a particular load, a useful piece of machinery across a construction site.

FAQs

What can a telehandler do?

The term “telehandler” is an abbreviated version of “telescopic handler.” A telehandler is a lifting machine equipped with a telescopic boom fitted with a lifting attachment. The telehandler operator can raise or extend the boom when wearing a load, enabling the boom to function much like a lever.

How long do telehandlers last?

Normally we find that the lifespan of a machine is between five to seven years before they refresh their fleet.

What is a telehandler used for?

Telehandler are frequently used in agricultural and industrial operation. It is common for farm workers to equip the machine with a bucket or bucket grab to transport crops to and from areas that are inaccessible to wheel loaders and back hoe loaders. They can also be used to move lads to and from rooftops that are beyond the reach of height challenged lifting equipment.

What is the difference between a telehandler and forklift?

A properly equipped telehandler can perform many of the same functions as a forklift, it can also act as a crane. The main difference between the two is the telehandler’s telescoping capabilities that enable it to operate at greater heights than a forklift. The lifting capacity decreases as the boom is extended higher due to the reduction in the machine’s stability.

What is a telehandler ticket?

The term ticket refers to the operator card or license that is required in some countries to operate a telehandler.
