What is a telehandler, and how does it work? Telehandlers, or telescopic handlers, are hydraulic lifting units commonly employed in the construction, farming, and agriculture industries.

Modern telehandlers are agile hybrid devices that combine the forklift's load lifting capability with the crane's lifting range.

The units include a telescoping boom that can be connected with various attachments, allowing them to perform multiple tasks.

A simple, quick hitch design allows operators to change attachments quickly and safely depending on the task.

Proper attachments for telehandlers can hoist heavy loads up to the unit's lift capability and height specifications.

Telehandlers can move diagonally, whereas forklifts can only travel in one direction. The movement allows them to take up and transfer goods that a regular forklift would not raise.

Telehandlers can readily access odd angles and tight places with their greater agility and extensible boom. As a result, it makes them the best materials handling solution for confined locations.

Stabilizers may deploy from the unit to add stability and safety when lifting hefty weights.
