A telescopic loader, also known as a telehandler or telescopic handler, is a versatile piece of equipment commonly used in agriculture, construction, and various industries for material handling.
It combines features of a forklift, crane, and loader, with an extendable boom that allows the operator to reach heights and distances that standard loaders or forklifts can't.
Telescopic Boom: The boom can extend forward and upward, providing more reach than a traditional loader.
Attachments: Telehandlers can be fitted with various attachments such as forks, buckets, grapples, and winches, making them highly adaptable.
Wheel Drive: Many telehandlers have 4WD, which provides good mobility on rough terrain.
Lift Capacity: Depending on the model, they can lift several tons of material to heights of 30 feet or more.
Material Handling: Moving pallets, lifting materials to heights, and handling bulk materials.
Construction: Lifting building materials such as bricks, trusses, and heavy equipment to elevated locations.
Agriculture: Handling hay bales, animal feed, or other farming supplies.
Telehandlers are favored for their versatility and ability to operate in different environments.
