Telehandlers are incredibly versatile, also known as a telescopic handler. Telehandlers can function as forklifts to lift heavy loads, as well as a lifting platform, lifting materials with its telescopic arms. A telescopic handler has other functions and can be used for a variety of industries, such as construction, agriculture, waste and recycling, warehouse use and more.

Telehandlers can be supplied with a lift height of up to 16 metres and a maximum lift weight of up to 2,500kg.
