What is a Telehandler?

Telescopic handlers (also known as boom lifts, forklifts, and telehandlers) are lifting machines with a boom that can extend upwards and forward, essentially acting like a smaller-scale portable crane.

Operating like more complex forklifts, a telehandler provides great overall length and huge reach to work in multiple different roles.

A typical telehandler may be used to transport equipment loads, store and retrieve materials, place heavy blocks or containers, and even provide a suitable working platform for specialists working at height in Southern Cross.

What are Telehandlers Used For?

Telehandlers boast a high max forward reach, max lift height and max overall weight capacity, allowing them to fill multiple roles.

Lifting

The high lift capacity and max lift height of these tools make them invaluable for lifting items.

They can usually reach a great max height, serving as a smaller-scale crane by moving heavy loads to raised spaces or storage shelves at max height levels.

Loading

Telehandlers can work well as loading tools and can reach a good height for easy loading.

They can raise heavy materials in Southern Cross to a good max lift height, with a solid lift capacity allowing the tool to safely load items into trucks or other machines as needed.

Indoor Transportation

The manoeuvrability of most Southern Cross telescopic handlers makes them suitable for indoor transport.

They have the max reach and max overall height to reach larger shelves while boasting a max lift capacity to move heavier items around with minimal issues.

Heavy Object Transportation

A telehandler's weight capacity can become invaluable for moving high-weight equipment around an open area, such as a construction site.

This can include moving machines to raised areas so that workers can get easy access to them.

Max Lift Height

Many Southern Cross telehandlers are used specifically for the max height they can achieve at full reach. This added reach and height allows them to move and store items at max height, with many offering a max height that can rival small cranes.

Telehandler Hire Cost Southern Cross

Hiring telehandlers will cost a varying amount depending on what you are looking for.

All telehandlers have their own specifications, alongside a range of attachments and other additions that might alter the price.

Expect to pay around £250 to £500 each week (plus VAT) per telehandler on average in Southern Cross, with the price increasing if you aim for something more specific or unique that may cost more to maintain.

What affects the price?

Aside from VAT (given that VAT is already rolled into the price in most cases, meaning that VAT is not something most customers worry about), there can be a lot of factors that change the cost of a given telehandler.

Size

The overall length and overall height of the Southern Cross telehandler play a part in the cost. The larger your telehandler, the more you should expect to pay, VAT included.

Class

While there is not a clear "class" system for telehandlers, some are larger scale than others.

The overall length, max lift capacity, max full reach range and max emissions levels could all change the ideal spaces you use the telehandler in, which can make it a very different tool.

Branding

We offer a range of branded options, from JCB to Manitou. As you might expect, companies like JCB may price more for their equipment, so we have to hire brands like JCB out for slightly higher (plus VAT).

VAT

While VAT is consistent, VAT can still change over time. Certain financial events have seen VAT change year by year, so VAT changes may alter the hire costs of some of our Southern Cross telehandlers.

Telehandler Hire Benefits

Telehandlers can be incredibly useful tools that serve a wide range of roles, making them a great choice for nearly any project in Southern Cross.

Even if you value max lift height over max forward reach or max weight capacity over the ability to move quickly, any benefits can be important.

Excellent Loader Performance

Telehandlers offer superior performance within their own niche compared to other options.

A combination of max lift height, max forward reach, overall length, and excellent loader performance can make even a basic telehandler a great productivity tool.

This kind of superior performance matters. A telehandler with great manoeuvrability and excellent loader performance can provide faster results than a large crane could, speeding up some Southern Cross projects dramatically.

Max Lift Height

Even a compact telehandler can usually offer a good max lift height. This overall height makes it suitable for more vertical construction sites and other spaces where lifting equipment and materials are important.

Max Forward Reach Length

Most telehandlers in Southern Cross offer a high max forward huge reach level, granting them a long reach that also translates into a higher max lift height.

On its own, a long reach max can allow the telehandler to move materials further, operate in larger sites, or just offer a better overall height limit.

When combined with the max lift height, a good max forward reach and capacity becomes even more useful.

The two often improve one another, allowing a telehandler to boast a max high overall height, capacity and long reach max that can deal with nearly any situation.

High Weight Capacity

Most telehandlers boast a high weight capacity, making it easy to transport heavy items in Southern Cross.

This weight capacity can also allow telehandlers to serve more roles - you may not need a high weight capacity to transport loads, but high lift capacity and full reach make working at height much easier.

Great Manoeuvrability

Telehandlers are usually faster and smaller than many other vehicles and are designed to work well in most spaces.

This gives them the ability to fit into tighter areas or move between locations easily, providing full reach while still being easy to move from place to place.

Max Lift Capacity

The overall max lift capacity of our telehandlers refers to the total lift capacity of a tool. We provide options that boast full reach and a high max lift capacity.

Lift capacity is important, and we put lift capacity ahead of length in most cases.

Telehandler Attachments

Attachments are one of the most important parts of telehandlers in Southern Cross.

Different attachments can completely change what a telehandler does and how it can be used on work sites, with some being designed specifically to tackle niche problems.

Different telehandler models will have their own specific attachment options, depending on the brand and compatibility.

Carriages

Carriages are standard attachments that can work in most situations, giving the telehandler a lift capacity that can handle most materials easily.

These work best with a good max lift height, capacity and full reach length and can provide a good lift capacity when you use them to lift most standard materials.

Carriages are best used to lift items and move them around a site. They're ideal for improving productivity and being able to lift equipment to new places and are especially good if you need to lift pallets.

Many are purpose-built to lift pallets, making them great for warehouses in Southern Cross too.

Forks

Forks come in multiple types. Pallet forks are designed to lift pallets, while cubing and lumber forks lift cubed items and lumber, respectively.

These are great for working at any lift height and can move items around easily while providing good protection to the items you're moving.

All forks work well at any max forward reach and max lift height as long as the person operating the telehandler knows how to control them.

Buckets

Buckets are great for cleaning up spaces, featuring a high lift capacity at any height.

These don't always suit every situation, but they can tackle challenges that other attachments simply can't, regardless of circumstances.

Bucket attachments see a lot of use in construction and landscaping jobs since they can allow the telehandler to move an entire bucket of dirt, gravel, or other loose materials around easily.

Work Platforms

A work platform can turn a Southern Cross telehandler into a powered access platform, taking advantage of the high max forward reach and max lift height to give workers a high-stability raised platform.

This can improve efficiency and safety when working at height.

These are ideal for both indoor and outdoor work and can allow employees to reach high spaces that aren't designed to be easy to access.

A good work platform offers good stability and clear visibility, as well as improving safety for the employee using it.

Truss Booms

Truss booms can be invaluable for setting up walls in specific places, allowing the telehandler to be used in construction.

A good max forward reach and max lift height enables easy wall construction at any site that needs it, especially outdoor sites.

Lifting Hooks

Lifting hooks are a general-purpose option that uses the max lift height and capacity of the telehandler to raise up any compatible cargo.

Anything that can be connected to these hooks (and that doesn't weigh too much) can be lifted with relative ease.

These lifting hooks are a high-efficiency option for moving a range of materials at height in any capacity and can become an effective, high-lift capacity option for almost any space in Southern Cross that needs it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need a license to drive a telehandler?

Telehandlers do not require a formal license, even if they're being used at max lift height, capacity, or max forward reach.

However, using it on the road (in any capacity) requires a full, valid driver's license.

Do you need training?

In most cases, however, you will need to complete an accredited telescopic handler training course to get a competence certificate before you can operate hire equipment like this.

Specific models, such as JCB telehandlers, may be designed to require specific training too.

How do you get a telehandler license?

Completing a telehandler training course is relatively easy.

These courses are designed to help you reach full competency with these tools and meet the usual hiring standards for roles involving them.

Can you drive a telehandler on the road?

Telehandlers can be driven on the road as long as you have a driver's license.

This usually cannot be done at max lift height and capacity and requires you to drop the boom for full visibility, even if visibility is already fairly good at max lift height and capacity.

What is the most popular telehandler?

Brands like Manitou and JCB tend to be the most popular telehandler options on the market.

Manitou and JCB are only two of the most notable, but JCB receives a lot of attention in many spaces, with Manitou being somewhat obscure in some fields.

Are major brands better?

JCB models are designed to reach unique JCB standards.

While non-JCB models may offer the same max lift height and lift capacity, JCB has a standard of quality that can make JCB telehandlers a popular option in most situations.

We offer a wide range of high-lift capacity telehandlers, from full-reach capacity JCB models to alternative tools.

JCB is only one of the brands we stock, and we have many non-JCB options on par with some of the most popular JCB tools.
