What are the benefits of Telehandler Hire?

Exceptional Lifting Capacity 

Heavy Telehandlers are designed to handle extreme loads, with our Magni and Merlo models boasting lift capacities that range from 10-45 tonnes. These lift capacities make them ideal for demanding industrial tasks and construction projects.

Superior Reach and precision 

Many of our telehandlers feature telescopic booms to provide excellent forward reach and height, allowing your operators to place heavy loads efficiently into confined or elevated spaces.

Compatible with multiple attachments

Heavy telehandlers support a wide range of attachments like Access Platforms, forks, and buckets. This versatility allows operators to perform multiple tasks using a single machine. 

Performance in extreme conditions 

Telehandlers are designed to be operational in extreme conditions. Thanks to their design and tracked tyres, they can work through harsh weather, rough terrain and demanding conditions to complete required tasks reliably.

Which construction projects require telehandler hire? 

Telehandler hire can be an ideal option for various operational projects, including:

• Construction and building: The most popular industry for telehandler hire.
• Farming: Farmers often use telehandlers for loading grain, feeding livestock, etc.
• Warehousing: Telehandlers are well-suited for stacking heavy loads both at ground level and at heights of up to 51 metre. 
• Event management: The telehandler’s manoeuvrability and versatility mean they can operate well in relatively tight spaces, so are ideal for stage building, light positioning, and other event requirements.

Telehandler Hire Frequently Asked Questions 

Do I need a licence to operate a telehandler?

When operating a telehandler for construction or commercial use, it is essential to complete either a category C1 licence for vehicles between 3.5 and 7 tonnes or a category C licence for vehicles over 7.5 tonnes. It is also required to have a Construction Plant Competence Scheme (CPCS).

At Hire Safe Solutions, we further support employers and project managers through training courses, which will keep you compliant and your operators and team members safe. 

Can a telehandler be used in a confined space?

Our telehandlers are designed with compact dimensions, allowing for a tight turning radius and multiple steering modes, including four-wheel steering and crab steering, making them suitable for restricted worksites.

What safety features does a telehandler have?

Telehandlers are designed with load management systems, stability control and emergency stop systems. The operator is required to complete training before use to ensure well-being and safety on site. 

Site safety, compliance, and best practice use are priorities for Hire Safe Solutions. As such, we offer a range of training courses to keep on-site staff safe.

What attachments can be used with a telehandler?

Telehandlers are exceptionally versatile through their ability to have attachments swapped out to meet the needs of the job. Common attachments include:

• Pallet forks – Ideal for handling palletised goods in warehouses and on construction sites.
• General-purpose buckets – Buckets effectively turn your telehandler into a loading shovel, allowing for site materials or waste to transferred to another vehicle or location with ease.
• Lifting Jibs – Lifting jibs are ideal for putting loads in hard-to-reach locations where more forward reach is needed with greater control.
• Lifting Hooks – Ideal for vertical lifts where vertical reach isn’t needed.
• Access Platforms – Access platform attachments are ideal for team members who need to work manually at height. Please ensure that LOLER Safety Regulations are met when using these attachments.
• Winches – Winches effectively turn the telehandler into a crane, allowing for precision placement into tight spots or trenches.
• Grapple Buckets – Grapple buckets are ideal for uneven materials, thanks to their hydraulic clamp. This clamp is perfect for moving materials with greater safety.

H3: What is the difference between a telehandler and a forklift?

Telehandlers are versatile machines designed with a long reach due to their telescopic boom, and are often used on uneven, outdoor terrains to lift materials up and over obstacles. They also have unmatched versatility in their attachments, which allow them to inhabit a number of roles often performed by other machines.

Forklifts are much more compact, with an upwards lift motion that offers minimal to no extension. They are better suited for repetitive lifting on flat surfaces, for instance, in warehouses.
