Innovative, versatile and useful, telehandlers are a type of equipment that many businesses can benefit from hiring. Whether used in construction, agriculture, warehousing, or material handling, telehandlers offer a powerful combination of lifting capacity, reach, and adaptability. This article from our experts at P R Weldhen can help you learn more about telehandlers and why they are highly popular machines.
About Telehandlers
Telehanders, which are also known as telescopic handlers, are a type of plant equipment. These machines are equipped with an arm that extends, which can be manoeuvred to different angles. Like many other types of plant machinery, telehandlers can be equipped with different attachments that help to make them better suited for a specific application.
Popular attachments can include:
● Forks
● Blades
● Buckets
● Platforms
Construction
One of the main purposes of telehandlers is to lift and transport heavy materials. This makes them invaluable on construction sites, where they can lift and move cumbersome building supplies such as concrete blocks, steel beams, timber, bricks and more. The telescopic arm attached to the vehicle can also help deposit materials to high places, while positioning loads expertly and accurately.
Telehandlers can lift more than just materials. Equipped with a work platform, telehandlers can provide a way for staff to carry out work at height. Platforms typically have barriers attached too, which can prevent the worker from accidentally falling while working.
Agriculture
Farms can often benefit from the introduction of plant machinery, as they help to speed up essential processes. One particularly valuable piece of equipment is the telehandler, a versatile machine designed to handle various lifting and loading tasks. These machines are known for providing a way for farmers to move key supplies like hay bales, fertiliser and grain with ease. With a bucket attached, telehandlers can also help staff to feed any animals on site by distributing their feed.
Warehousing
To help manage stock in a warehouse, telehandlers can be invaluable for unloading and loading materials. These machines are designed to handle a wide range of lifting tasks with ease, making them particularly useful in busy warehouse environments where speed and precision are essential. With the relevant attachment, telehandlers can unload trucks, containers, railcars and more. In large warehouses, telehandlers can also be used to move pallets and other goods around in the facility, reducing the need for manual movement or less efficient plant machines.
