Telehandlers are powerful and flexible machines designed for lifting, moving, and placing heavy materials at height and over obstacles. They combine the features of a forklift, wheel loader, and crane in one machine. With their telescopic boom and the ability to use a variety of attachments, telehandlers are a highly versatile solution for a wide range of applications. Due to their capacity, reach, and mobility, telehandlers have become a natural part of the machinery fleet for contractors, farmers, logistics operators, and industrial companies.
Telehandlers come in various sizes and configurations tailored to different types of tasks. The most common type is the standard telehandler with a forward-facing telescopic boom and four-wheel drive. These are stable, user-friendly, and efficient for material handling on construction sites and in agriculture.
Rotating telehandlers, also known as ROTO models, have an upper structure that can rotate 360 degrees, providing great flexibility and eliminating the need to move the machine during work. Compact telehandlers are smaller models suitable for tight areas, and heavy-duty models can lift over 10 tons and are used in industry and infrastructure projects. Reach and lifting capacity vary between models, from approximately 2,500 kg and 6 meters lifting height to over 30 meters and 12,000 kg.
Telehandlers are used for many types of tasks. On construction sites, they are ideal for lifting and moving scaffolding materials, concrete elements, tools, and building materials. In agriculture, they are used for handling round bales, feed, manure, and soil. In industry and warehousing, telehandlers are used for unloading, loading, and placing goods at height. Rotating telehandlers are also useful in complex construction projects where flexibility and precision are crucial.
Telehandlers have a significant advantage in their ability to use many types of attachments. Common accessories include pallet forks, buckets, crane arms, winches, man baskets, concrete buckets, and snow blades. For more specialized tasks, grapples, log grapples, or hydraulic brooms can be mounted. Many models have quick couplers and hydraulic outlets that make it easy to switch between attachments, and there are also additional equipment such as rearview cameras, work lights, air conditioning, and load indicators for increased comfort and safety.
Telehandlers are robust machines built for demanding conditions and continuous operation. With regular maintenance and proper use, the machine can have a lifespan of between 8,000 and 12,000 operating hours, often more. Wear depends on usage intensity, maintenance routines, and the working environments in which the machine is used. Machines from well-known brands often have good access to spare parts and service, contributing to extended lifespan and high operational reliability.
There are many advantages to buying used telehandlers. Used equipment has lower acquisition costs and can provide excellent returns compared to investing in new machines. The used market also offers quick access to machines, which can often be delivered immediately. Many used telehandlers have been well-maintained and still have a long lifespan remaining. Additionally, buying used is a sustainable choice – reuse reduces the need for new production and has a lower environmental impact.
When considering used telehandlers, you should check the engine and hydraulic system for leaks and pressure loss, as well as the boom and attachment coupler for wear and deformations. It is important to check the functions of attachment switching, safety systems, electronics, and any additional features such as rotation or remote control. Operating hours, service history, and the machine's previous usage area are useful information when assessing the machine's residual value and expected lifespan.
