W hat is a telehandler? A Telehandler, also known as telescopic handler, is a very versatil machine, which is used mainly in the industry and agriculture sector. The telehandler may be compared with a forklift, for the same function they have to lift any kind of goods. But its single telescopic boom makes it far more flexible. There are lots of different attachments available for telehandlers, like forks, shovles, hooks or even aerial platforms. By its switchable four-wheel drive, the telehandler can work even in rough terrain. On the street a telescopic handler reaches up to 40 km / h or it can move sidewards in small spaces. A telehandler can reach more than 25 m height.
