What is a Telehandler?

A telehandler, or telescopic handler, are lifting machines used to help transport materials and heavy equipment around reliably.

Various attachments allow them to serve a range of roles in any Heanor workplace, no matter the work involved.

In general, a telescopic handler can be more practical than using a forklift for anything except small-scale materials transportation.

The Base

The base is the main body of the telehandler and is very often a fully drivable vehicle without needing to be towed.

Most bases have 4-wheel drive and steering, with larger bases offering more stability overall.

The Boom

The boom is the extendable neck of the telehandler.

These can range in length but can reach further than forklifts while fitting into smaller spaces.

The Tool

The various attachments that can be equipped onto the end of the boom allow a single telescopic handler to solve a range of problems.

Swapping these tools in and out is not too difficult, but the process may be different for each unit model.

Telehandler Attachments Heanor

Telescopic handlers have a range of optional attachment choices.

Many of these are meant for specific roles or emulate other kinds of plant hire vehicles that you may have used in the past.

Choosing the right attachment for the job is important. For example, a fork attachment can work like a forklift but over a larger area.

We can offer a range of attachment choices suitable for many different situations in Heanor.

Carriage Attachments

Most telehandlers are equipped with a carriage attachment meant for moving pallets and general materials around.

These allow the telehandler to work as effective transport and materials handling tools.

Standard Carriages

A regular carriage is a jack-of-all-trades option for general transportation.

Not only can they move heavy loads, but they often have a huge weight capacity.

Their higher reach also makes them perfect for storing items on raised shelves or loading larger vehicles.

Tilting/Shifting Carriage

These shifting carriages can have their fork angles adjusted to allow for greater precision.

These effectively allow for more care when storing and transporting larger items.

This feature alone makes these carriage options a common choice for newly-hired telehandler machines in Heanor.

Side-Shift Carriage

These allow for manual adjustment of each fork by a maximum of ten degrees.

This provides greater precision during load placement.

Side-Tilt Carriage

These tilt loads to either side based on user inputs.

This allows for greater control and easier corrections during transport.

Swing Carriage

These swinging systems are designed to help place loading materials into confined spaces.

Dual Fork Positioning Carriage

These manually-adjustable pairs of forks can make it easier to correct placement angles.

Fork Attachments

While a fork and carriage attachment may seem similar, they are slightly different in a lot of subtle ways.

Pallet Forks

Pallet forks serve as a reliable way to move pallet materials from place to place.

These are a great option for general-purpose telehandler use in any site or plant.

Unlike forklifts in Heanor, these attachments can allow telescopic handlers to move pallets much higher, further, and into more confined spaces.

This extra versatility can make the pallet forks surprisingly versatile in the right situations.

Cubing Forks

Cubing forks are used to store cubed items, such as cubes of bricks or cinderblocks.

These can also be used to raise crates and other cubed items as needed.

Lumber Forks

Lumber forks are perfect for moving longer materials, with the most obvious being lumber.

This makes them ideal for moving items that are not square or cubed.

Bucket Attachments

Bucket attachments are perfect for moving large amounts of debris or loose substances like dirt.

This can be a cleaning tool as well as a transport tool.

Buckets most often see use in construction and demolition fields.

Material Buckets

Material buckets are similar to those on digger vehicles (but without the ability to dig).

These are perfect for transporting loose materials or cleaning up an on-site mess.

Grapple Buckets

Grapple buckets use a swinging-down case to secure individual items.

This ensures that nothing large can fall out of the bucket, making it more practical for a general cleaning or transport job.

Other Attachments

Our telehandler options are incredibly versatile, with each attachment allowing them to offer excellent loader performance in different fields.

Even our specialised attachments can be an invaluable option for certain niches.

We make sure to offer a range of less-common attachment choices for Heanor companies that require specialised equipment or support.

Work Platforms

Telescopic handlers can be equipped with work platforms, allowing them to serve as powered access platforms.

This kind of attachment means that the telescopic handler can simplify any job dealing with a raised surface or shelving.

Truss Booms

The truss boom attachment can help set trusses and wall sections during construction.

While specialised, this telescopic handler attachment still has many uses in the construction industry.

Lifting Hooks

Lifting hooks provide a general-purpose material transport method.

Anything that can be safely hooked onto the attachment with a suitable hooking ring or connecting point can be lifted by the telehandler.

These hooks are very versatile, allowing them to become a major boon in any industry where moving large amounts of supplies is important.

Telehandler Roles

Telehandlers are invaluable for a huge range of industries.

Most notably, they provide a way to move heavy loads in very precise and controlled ways, something not many other loader methods can do.

Using attachments, a single Heanor telehandler can show excellent loader performance in countless roles and tasks.

This means that a single telehandler could be regularly adapted with new attachments suitable for different uses and situations.

Storage

Telescopic handlers are perfect for storing items.

The high max lift height and max forward reach mean that it is easier for them to reach shelving or operate in large storage areas.

They can be equipped with various attachments for different cargo types or tasks, such as becoming a long-reach crane in one situation and a forklift in another.

This flexibility and full reach potential mean that even a standard telescopic handler can become a huge asset on any industrial site.

Inspection

Powered access platforms make it very easy for an individual worker to inspect raised surfaces quickly.

Many of the latest machines on the market are designed to lift safely, making this process even more reliable.

If used correctly, the telehandler platform can replace the need for scaffolding entirely.

Construction

A telescopic handler can serve countless uses when it comes to construction.

Not only can a good telescopic handler provide the high max lift height to be a good powered access platform, but the crane-like boom can transport materials quickly.

A telescopic handler can even use its long reach to hold items in place while they are being installed or move items through narrow spaces.

Maintenance

Using a telescopic handler as a powered access platform allows for very easy maintenance of any large space.

The full reach and lift height control make it easy to maintain an indoor area, while the great overall height limit allows for the maintenance of a building’s exterior.

You can also use the telehandler to move heavier maintenance equipment around, replacing the need for a crane in Heanor.

Cleaning

A telescopic handler can be invaluable for cleaning large open areas.

Transport

A telehandler is a great alternative to a crane.

While it may not have the range of a dedicated cargo vehicle, the lift height and long reach make it great for moving items around a site quickly.

Telehandler Hire Costs Heanor

Hiring a telehandler will cost a varying amount depending on each unit’s specifications.

We offer a huge range of telehandler options, and our experts can walk you through what each one will bring to your site.

Average Costs

Expect to pay an average of £250 to £500 each week for a telehandler.

There are a lot of factors that can go into the exact price you end up having to pay, so this price can vary heavily.

Size

The size and weight of the telescopic handler can directly impact its hire and delivery costs.

This also includes the overall length of the telescopic handler boom.

Maximum lift height is another factor in the total price. The higher the max lift height (based on the overall length of the boom and its max rotation), the more certain models will cost.

Maximum Loads and Weight Capacity

Weight capacity will also increase cost due to the bulkier telehandler designs required to hold it.

Attachments

Any attachments for the telescopic handler can add to the cost, too.

Delivery

The delivery costs depend on the chosen delivery sites for your telescopic handler.

Refuelling

Usually, you will receive the telescopic handler already filled with fuel.

However, you will often have to refill the telehandler before you return it.

Insurance

Taking out insurance is naturally going to add more to your overall costs.

Insurance can sometimes be an important security option when hiring a tool like this.

Overall Length of Hire

Consider the overall length of your hire period.

Shorter leases generally cost more per day but less overall.

Operation

If you do not have a licensed telescopic handler operator, then you will usually need to hire one.

The costs of hiring a licensed operator will naturally increase the overall cost substantially.

Benefits of a Telehandler

A telehandler is more than just a loading tool.

Each Heanor telescopic handler can serve a huge range of roles in almost any space.

A telescopic handler can also offer a range of core benefits that makes it worth using in a wide range of situations. This includes:

Increased Overall Height

Telescopic handlers boast a better lift height max compared to other tools.

They can provide a greater overall height, and their max lift height tends to allow for ease of use at full reach.

This means that a telescopic handler at max lift height can be used for loading, storage, transport, and countless other roles.

Better Overall Length

The high max lift height also means greater overall length for the boom, letting a telescopic handler work in wide areas.

The lift height and length both make the telescopic handler even more practical for various purposes.

Stability at High Lift Height

Like many boom designs, a telehandler has the width and weight control to work in a range of sites and industries.

Its solid weight and good width also mean excellent control at maximum overall height and full reach.

This allows a max lift height telehandler to be used effectively as a powered access platform or to transport heavy items.

Max Weight Limits

Good max weight limits, along with the max lift height, make a telehandler more practical in sites that require heavy-duty work.

The higher max weight means that the telehandler can lift heavy cargo and material, even at full reach length.

Max Forward Reach

The telehandler boom’s high overall height and max lift height can be used to improve the max forward reach.

With this, a single telehandler can provide enough max forward reach to cover entire sites as needed.

In some cases, this max lift height and forward reach can make the telehandler work like a small crane.

Telehandler Hire Duration

Our Heanor telescopic handler options can be hired out in very flexible ways.

We focus on a week-by-week basis first and foremost.

Our experts can handle week-by-week telehandler hires or monthly hires, depending on your week-hire needs.

Week Hire

A lot of our hire options are done week-by-week. For example, using £250 as a week average:

Of course, this is just an average based on previous week-long hires.

The hire cost of a telescopic handler varies depending on the model and length of time you want to keep it.

Hire Periods

We can offer to hire for a custom length of time, depending on your needs.

A week hire is not always enough. A single-week hire might become a monthly hire or even a length that requires week-by-week renewal.

Talk with us to discuss week hire options or other hire length requirements.

Hiring Options

We can discuss the week-by-week hire with you, but our hiring options are also varied.

Length of hire might impact things like maintenance schedules. We take this into account and work with our clients to resolve these issues, regardless of hire length.

Nationwide Telehandler Hire and Delivery

We provide delivery all across the UK, aiming to have our telehandlers delivered within the week whenever possible.

Contact us if you want to discuss delivery to specific sites or spaces. We will always do our best to provide same-week delivery to whatever sites you have selected.

Week-by-Week Hire

We take each hire seriously, even if it is only for a week or two.

Our weekly and monthly hire options are all delivered with the same urgency and care.

Max Hire Periods

A max week hire limit is not usually something we like to employ.

However, like any weekly or monthly hire, sometimes a max week limit is required. This is especially true for high-demand hires.

We work with clients in Heanor to ensure that they get the week-by-week hire they need, even if that means switching their first-week handler for another model in a following week.

What do you look for in a telehandler?

If you are interested in a telescopic handler, there are some factors that matter more than others.

Max Lift Height

Max lift height dictates how high the unit can lift something.

Max lift height can be impacted by weight and heavy loads, with over-loading reducing practical max lift height.

Knowing the total max lift height is important to understand how high the unit can lift any given material.

Max Lift Height (as a platform)

Max lift height is important for user safety.

Managing max lift height to achieve safe working heights is important to protect employees, especially in dangerous worksites.

Max Forward Reach

Max forward reach equates to the total boom reach.

High max forward reach is good for open spaces where reach is more important than lift height or movement speed.

Depending on the design, max lift height and max forward reach influence one another. A unit that is good at one is usually good at the other.

Max Forward Reach (as a platform)

Max forward reach matters in a powered access platform.

Without good max forward reach, it becomes harder to reach raised surfaces or operate the unit safely. Max forward reach needs to be managed for many different safety reasons.

Too much max forward reach without proper support can make a high lift height platform less stable, increasing the chance of somebody getting hurt while using it.

Overall Height

The height of the unit itself can be extremely important.

Excellent loader performance is hard to achieve if the boom is cramped into a tight area or if it can’t reach the required height from ground level.

Overall Height (as a platform)

Excessive height can be harder to manage in cramped sites where small height adjustments may be highly sensitive.

Lower max height levels can leave a unit unable to reach higher surfaces properly.

Weight Limit

A high weight limit prevents the unit from suffering faults or damage under excessive amounts of weight. This is important in every situation and across every site.

Weight Limit (as a platform)

Platforms need to be designed to handle at least one person’s weight, along with their tools.

This means that the unit needs to be designed to lift that kind of weight from the start.

Lift Speed

High max lift speed makes adjusting lift height faster, but slow lift speed makes it safer.

In either case, being able to lift properly is important in any industry.

Lift Speed (as a platform)

The max lift speed matters a lot more for a powered access platform.

Not being able to adjust the height due to a sensitive max speed could put employees in danger.

Width

Width (including adjustable max width) is important.

Better width means more stability when trying to load or transport objects.

Insufficient max width could cause supplies or materials to fall easily.

Width (as a platform)

A powered access platform needs enough width to support somebody working on one.

Good width (and adjustable width) is not just about safety but also having the width to move around and work while on the platform.

Excellent Loader Performance
