Compact telehandler for tight construction sites, yards, loading areas and low-rise material handling.

When Not to Use This Telehandler
This may not be the best option where the lift height is too low for the task, where the load is beyond the rated capacity at reach, or where a crane, front end loader or TLB would be safer and more economical.
For high-production bulk loading, a front end loader may be more suitable. For excavation or trenching, a TLB or excavator is normally the better choice. For heavy suspended lifting, specialist crane assessment may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can a 6m telehandler lift?
Typical lift capacity is around 2.5–3.0 t, but the safe capacity reduces as the boom extends. Final suitability must be checked against the machine load chart.
Can this telehandler use a bucket?
Selected telehandlers can use bucket attachments, but for high-volume material loading a front end loader may be more efficient.
