What is a telehandler?
At Ace Plant we offer a range of Kramer & Manitou telehandlers – short for ‘telescopic handlers.’ The primary use of a telehandler is manoeuvring material from one place to another. Often, telehandlers render themselves as the most intrinsic instrument in your toolkit as they accept many different attachments that contribute to their versatility – which we also offer to hire!
If you’re looking to hire a telehandler for your ever-growing business but haven’t quite made the leap, here are just a fraction of the benefits it has to offer.
1. If your site is on rough, uneven ground…
…the full range of motion of a telehandler makes them an unmatched contender to the problems that rough terrain poses to productivity. In comparison to the rigid motion of a forklift, a telehandler is able to stay stable and level on uneven ground, which in turn allows it to put loads at a higher elevation. Whilst most machinery is designed for specific conditions, a telehandler adds a valuable tool suited to a variety of ground quality to your armoury.
2. If you need a cost-effective, temporary telehandler hire…
…the multi-faceted skillset of the telehandler cuts the cost of running several machines in a single day and the easy-to-use attachments increase productivity levels whilst decreasing time wasted due to swapping to another appliance. Don’t forget, when you incorporate a telehandler into your business strategy, we handle the maintenance for you – all the benefits without the stress!
3. If you handle different materials…
…our wide range of telehandler attachments make it easy to alter the lift weight capacity and fork lengths as and when you need to. For instance, attaching fork extensions to our Kramer or Manitou telehandlers can extend the reach of the forks by up to 50%, allowing you to customise the telehandler dependent on the needs of the job. Our guide to the types of attachements and how to choose the right one for your applications might come in handy - take a look.
4. If your site space is limited…
…Ace Plant stocks six variants of Manitou telehandlers in every shape and size! Not only do telehandlers do the job of many other machines in one, you can also choose your telehandler hire in the perfect size to match your needs. For example, the Manitou MT 420 H telehandlers are the most compact in our range and perfect for jobs that are tight on space. The smooth hydraulic movements and three steering modes make it small but mighty on capability!
5. If you want to operate a safer, cleaner site…
…the tipping skip attachment makes a telehandler hire a decision based on productivity, time management and safe practice. By providing a dedicated space for waste materials, the tipping skip attachment prevents the unnecessary trips to a larger disposal unit and promotes an active, easy approach to keeping the site clean.
