Ways To Use Your Telehandler

Telehandlers, also called telescopic handlers or boom lifts, are integral tools in any construction or industrial project. With incredible lift capacities and an impressive reach, telehandlers are great for moving heavy materials and objects. We here at Bobcat of York, Frederick, Hagerstown, Lancaster, and Adams County want to make sure you get the most out of your telehandler, so we’ve put together some of our favorite uses for it.

Heavy Lifting

One of the most important and obvious uses for a telehandler is moving large loads of cargo or equipment from place to place. The average telehandler is compact and surprisingly agile, allowing it to navigate tight locations like warehouses, farms, or construction sites easily. For lifting cargo onto trucks, storing material on high shelves or the second level of a barn, or just getting a load around the worksite, a telehandler is ideal.

New Heights

Thanks to the telescopic arm in a telehandler, moving material, supplies, equipment, and even personnel to hard-to-reach, elevated locations is a simple matter. The work platform attachment for the telehandler can typically handle up to 1,000 pounds, and sometimes more! A telehandler can get over and around obstacles easier, help you work on higher ground, and get tools where they’re needed in no time flat.

Snow Clearing

Unlike a forklift, the telehandler has a front end that can handle a wide range of implements and attachments, including snow removal tools. That means that a telehandler is more flexible year-round than a forklift might be. Snow bucket, push, and plow attachments are easy to affix to the front of your telehandler, making it a great multitool.

Efficient And Flexible

Telehandlers are flexible machines in general, able to accept a wide variety of other implements and attachments that are useful during warmer months, too. Bucket attachments can increase the machine’s carrying capacity, blades can allow it to push debris or gravel to clear or flatten an area, and grapples and winches allow it to tow. With high fuel-efficiency and the incredible range of uses, a telehandler saves you time and money and lowers your environmental impact significantly!
