Telehandlers

A telehandler, or telescopic handler, is a versatile lifting machine that combines the reach of a crane with the practicality of a forklift.

It is commonly used for moving pallets, lifting materials to upper levels, loading vehicles, and handling bulk items. With the option to fit different attachments such as forks, buckets, or jibs, one machine can cover multiple site tasks, making it valuable for construction, agriculture, and material handling.

The Kubota KTH4815-2 offers a maximum lift height of 4.8m and a lifting capacity of 1,500kg, making it ideal for compact job sites.

It is powered by a reliable Stage V Kubota engine, designed for fuel efficiency and low emissions. The telehandler also features a compact chassis for excellent manoeuvrability and a comfortable operator cab with clear visibility and intuitive controls.

While forklifts are mainly used for lifting loads on level ground, telehandlers provide greater versatility.

With an extendable boom, they can lift materials to higher levels and reach across obstacles. This makes them suitable for multi-storey construction sites or where access is restricted. Unlike forklifts, telehandlers can also be fitted with a wider range of attachments, adding to their usefulness on site.

Telehandlers are widely used in construction, civil engineering, property development, and agriculture.

In construction, they move pallets, blocks, and site materials. Developers use them for transporting goods across housing sites, while in agriculture they are used for handling bales, feed, and general farm duties. Hire companies also stock telehandlers because of their wide demand across multiple sectors.
