Renting a telehandler - which model to choose?

A telehandler, with the functionality of a forklift and the reach and strength of a crane, has the ability to lift, move and place heavy materials, tools and objects. This makes the machine necessary for many construction sites and work sites.

Like most construction equipment, the telehandlers for rent come in a variety of sizes, lifting heights, payloads and attachments, so renting the right machine for your job can sometimes be difficult.

Before renting a telehandler, make sure you choose a model that offers you the capabilities you need, whether it's power, maneuverability, load capacity or lifting height, as there is no one-size-fits-all activities. To help you decide, we've answered a few key questions our customers often ask when choosing a machine?

What are the benefits of working with a telehandler?

To begin with, it is important to understand what activity you want to rent a telehandler for and the benefits you expect it to bring you.

Telehandlers are often used due to their maneuverability. They are an excellent helper in agricultural activities and in the construction industry, as they have a boom that can be extended and lift heavy loads. The advantage here is the various types of additional attachments.

Telehandlers have a range of features that make them one of the best access equipment for construction sites. They can lift loads of various sizes and weights, move them to a building and then lift them to the desired floor.

This can be done even on uneven surfaces due to frame laveling. You guessed it yourself that this in turn saves time and speeds up the project implementation process.

What types of telehandlers can you rent?

Stroyrent offers two main types of telehandlers that you can rent: rotating (rotating) telehandlers and non-rotating (fixed) telehandlers.

The non-rotating telehandler has a fixed chassis and a telescopic boom that allows better visibility of the driver on the work site.

The rotating telehandler has a turret and a telescopic boom that can rotate 360 °. The machine can remain stationary while the turret and the telescopic boom rotate around its axis, providing exceptional manoeuvrability. The model is useful when working in tight areas. It can also be used on uneven terrain, by means of stabilizers, which further help to reduce the required space at the workplace.

Telehandlers for rent are also divided into categories: compact (agricultural) – from 6 to 9 m and load capacity up to 4 tons; construction with stabilizers – from 10 to 18 m, with a load capacity of up to 4 tons; rotating – from 18 to 25 m., with a load capacity of up to 4 tons.

Telehandlers can also be offered with different forms of steering, including front-wheel steering, four-wheel steering, and crab steering. All of these telehandlers for rent can be used for a range of jobs for any farming or construction project.

For what activity do you want to rent a telehandler?

When choosing a telehandler for rent, it is important to know in advance what activity it will be used for, as this will influence the decision you ultimately make. Two of the main things you can consider to make your decision easier are how heavy and how high the load you are lifting and how accessible the work environment is.

How heavy is your load and how high do you have to lift it?

When renting a telehandler, you need to know what it is, what you need to lift or move and at what height. Calculate the heaviest material you will be lifting to determine your maximum lifting requirements. The heavier and bulkier the load, the more capacity the telehandler you rent should have.

It is important  to determine the direction of movement. Will you lift straight up or up and over something? This is important because the rated operating capabilities of telehandlers can vary when the boom is extended, and with an inappropriate load, this can lead to its overturning .

To determine how heavy the load would be, we recommend that you carefully review the table with the specified technical characteristics of the models listed on our site, or ask for assistance from a representative of Stroyrent /department “Large machinery“/.

How accessible is the work object?

When choosing a telehandler it is important to be familiar with the job site it will be used on. Does your job require you to reach a high access area? If so, you'll need a telehandler with a longer reach to make sure you get the job done. If, for example, you need to lift pallets onto a truck, then you will not need a telehandler with a high boom height.

Also note the telehandler drive options. If you are going to work on relatively narrow terrain, with no prerequisites for overturning, then we advise you to get a telehandler with front wheel drive. However, if you are on a farm with rough terrain, a four-wheel drive telehandler would be the better option for your job.

Want to combine several activities?

One of the telehandler's key advantages is that it is extremely versatile. This is one of the reasons that makes it so widespread and in demand in the agricultural and construction industries. At Stroyrent we can offer a variety of attachments to facilitate and optimize your work, such as:

  • Work platforms for personal
  • Buckets
  • Hooks with and without winches
  • Forks
  • Grab (clip)

Using the loader in hard to reach places and the ability to work in harsh conditions makes the telehandler a great tool to use.

From moving palletized loads, to working with a bucket or hooks, the wide range of attachments available will give you the freedom to work in many industries. It is important to choose the right model to facilitate the work process, achieving the desired results without hesitation and risks.
