Telehandler Forklift Training Course in Hampshire

 A powerful lift truck with long reach for rough or varied terrain

The Telehandler—or telescopic handler—combines the lifting strength of a forklift with the extended reach of a crane.


Its boom extends out and up, allowing you to move loads over obstacles or access hard-to-reach areas.

Ideal for construction sites, agriculture, and uneven ground

Highly favoured in construction and farming, telehandlers excel on rough terrain. Their versatility increases with attachments like buckets, grabs, and forks—making them indispensable for a range of jobs from transporting materials to placing loads at height.


Telehandlers are built tough, giving them an edge in demanding outdoor conditions.
