Built for moving and lifting materials, telehandlers can be customized for the needed job with different attachments. Telehandlers are highly specialized heavy equipment requiring special training to operate safely and responsibly.

The benefits of a telehandler
Telehandlers are great for all terrain, including outdoor, rough conditions. They can climb hills and navigate through rough, rocky terrain. Their ability to lift height and forward reach means that they can reach places where the material is needed. While telehandlers do have some of the same features as forklifts and cranes, how they are designed gives them more versatility and flexibility, allowing them to be used in a variety of situations.
