Telehandlers, also known as telescopic handlers, rough terrain forklifts, or telehandler forklifts, are versatile machines designed for heavy-duty material handling tasks across construction sites, industrial environments and oil and gas applications among others. Telehandlers combine the lifting capabilities of a forklift, with the reach of a telescoping boom. Telehandlers are built for the rugged environment of jobsites in all phases. 

Telehandlers are often one of the first machines to arrive on a jobsite to unload the materials off trucks as they arrive. Telehandlers are also one of the last machines to leave jobsites as they can be used to remove debris in hoppers or dumpsters and load other equipment and material onto trucks to clear the jobsite. During construction, telehandlers are important because they combine the lifting ability of a forklift with the reach and versatility of a crane, making them one of the most flexible machines on site and a true jobsite workhorse. They are designed with a high load and lift capacity and can handle heavy loads and place them at height. 

Unlike a standard forklift, a telehandler has a telescopic boom that can extend forward and upward. This allows operators to place materials up high, across obstacles, and in hard-to-reach areas. Telehandlers can also switch between different attachments, turning one machine into several types of equipment. For example, a material bucket can be attached to transport loose items, or a grapple attachment can be used for moving logs or scrap handling. 

Telehandlers are chosen by their load capacity and reach, as their main appeal is the ability to pick and place heavy loads. With the wide range of available attachments, telehandlers can be used to do the work of several machines, transforming them into an adaptable platform that can handle diverse applications. Their versatility has made them indispensable across the industrial landscape, where they can be seen lifting pallets of material to support elevated work tasks, such as construction access, maintenance work, masonry work, and warehousing. 

Telehandlers offer exceptional value through their multifunctionality and durability. Their ability to perform a wide range of material handling tasks makes them an essential piece of fleet equipment. They are also built for rough terrain environments, allowing them to be used from start to finish at a jobsite.
