What is a telehandler and what is it used for?down-arrow

A telehandler, also referred to as a “telescopic handler”, is a versatile machine used primarily in the construction industry but has found uses in agriculture and other industries that require the lifting and moving of heavy materials. Telehandlers have a telescopic boom with a lifting capacity and height that can be adjusted depending on the worksite requirements. They are similar in appearance to a forklift but have a telescopic arm instead of fork tines. Telehandlers are highly maneuverable and can easily navigate tight spaces and rough terrain, making them a valuable asset for a variety of industries.

Telehandlers and Innovative Construction Practices

For construction sites throughout downtown San Diego, innovation is the driving force behind efficiency, safety, and sustainability on job sites.  A piece of heavy equipment that is leading this change is the telehandler, a versatile piece of equipment that is changing traditional construction practices.  Telehandlers continue to expand their capabilities not only through increased lifting capacities, but also with the addition of technology integration making job sites safer and operators more productive.  All Access takes a look in to the rising prominence of telehandlers and their role in innovative construction methods.

The Market Outlook for High Capacity Telehandlers

While the global ecomomy has faced constraints over the recent years, the demand for high-capacity telehandlers continues to grow. Most of the increased demand for high-capacity telehandlers has to do with the large volume and scope of materials to be handled. As an example, the continuously growing online consumer market has inspired a wave of big box distribution and warehousing facilities of at least 200,000 square feet - industrial projects of this size use larger building materials that require heavy equipment that can maneuver through busy job sites without compromising lift capacity, creating a greater demand for telehandlers to support the heavy lifting and precise placing of these materials.
