Telehandler hire

We supply professional telehandler hire (telescopic handler rental) for construction, industrial and commercial projects nationwide. Designed for lifting materials to height and working safely across rough terrain, telehandlers combine reach, lift capacity and site mobility.

Typical lift heights: 6m – 18m+ Typical load capacities: 2.5 tonne – 5 tonne+

Quick specification guide
  • Compact 6m–9m telehandlers – ideal for tight construction sites
  • 12m–14m telehandlers – common for roofing, steel and brickwork
  • 17m–18m+ telehandlers – extended reach applications
  • Standard fork attachment supplied
  • Rough terrain tyres for uneven ground

Tell us your maximum lift height and load weight at reach — we will confirm the correct machine immediately.

Technical capability & site performance

Telehandlers (telescopic handlers) are widely used across construction and industrial projects where standard forklifts cannot provide sufficient reach or ground clearance. With forward extension capability, stabilised chassis and high torque engines, they are designed to operate safely on uneven terrain.

  • Forward reach lifting for placement over obstacles
  • High ground clearance for construction environments
  • Heavy-duty hydraulic systems for controlled lifting
  • Stabilised load distribution for extended boom positions
Attachments & applications
  • Pallet forks (standard)
  • Bucket attachments for aggregates and bulk materials
  • Jib attachments (subject to availability)
  • Brick cages and material handling accessories

Common uses include steel erection, roofing, brickwork distribution, timber movement, pallet handling, agricultural loading and external industrial lifting.

Telehandler hire FAQs

What size telehandler do I need?

The required lift height and the weight at reach determine the correct model. Provide both figures and we will confirm the safest specification.

Can telehandlers operate on rough ground?

Yes. Telehandlers are specifically designed for rough terrain construction environments and offer superior ground clearance compared to standard forklifts.

Is operator hire available?

Yes. We can supply telehandlers with certified operators where required.

How to choose the right telehandler
  • Lift height: Maximum height you need to place materials safely
  • Load weight at reach: Weight decreases as the boom extends — share your reach distance if known
  • Ground conditions: Soft ground, gradients, site traffic routes and stability requirements
  • Access: Gate widths, turning space, overhead restrictions and working area
  • Attachments: Forks, bucket, jib, brick cage (subject to availability)

If you provide the above details, we can specify the correct telehandler model quickly and avoid delays on site.

Safety & site compliance
  • Support with safe planning for site delivery and mobilisation
  • Guidance on access constraints and ground suitability
  • Operator-supported hire available where required
  • Clear handover and communication to reduce site disruption

Telehandlers must be operated by trained personnel and used within safe load limits. If you need support, we can advise on the safest approach for your lift.
