A Beginners Guide to Telehandlers

Whether it involves lifting, moving or placing objects and materials, an Access Solutions Telehandler can get the job done more quickly, more efficiently and definitely more safely. With 4WD, 3 steering options and smooth joystick controls, Telehandlers in particular are now a popular addition to many work sites. Terrific strength, flexible boom height, compact dimensions and an excellent turning radius are just some of the advantages over old fashioned fork hoists. Multiple attachment options (forks, jib and bucket) are available for the specific needs on any project, and the ability to perform on even the roughest terrain while providing safety and stability simply cannot be matched.

Telehandler Forks

The forks enable the driver to travel with their load in a typical pick up and carry method. Ideal for shifting and stacking wide loads such as plywoodpanels, packs of timber and other materials: blocks, pavement materials, gib-board, glazing and timber.

Telehandler Jib

The jib attachment allows a long reach both over and under obstructions toplace a heavy load or set equipment down onto a roof or elevated area. Ideal for freely suspended loads, it also enables drivers to hang trusses and reach through narrow openings such as a window or between walls to pick up or set down a load. If the site has scaffolding for exterior access, the jib attachment can reach over the structure to set down any building products required.

Telehandler Bucket

The bucket attachment enables drivers to place material far beyond the normal reach of other types of loaders. The extendable reach means spanning across obstructions to move materials from one side of a crowdedjobsite to another is easy. Loading sand and gravel, backfilling behind high walls, dumping trash after a jobsite clean up are just some of the jobs which the bucket makes easy.
