Frequently Asked Questions about Telehandlers
What are telehandlers used for on construction sites?
Telehandlers are used on construction sites to lift, move, and place materials at high and hard to reach heights. They combine the functions of a forklift and a crane for versatile handling, and are thus commonly used for palletized loads, building materials, and heavy equipment positioning.
