Introduction to Telehandlers

A telehandler (telescopic handler) is a versatile lifting machine commonly used in construction, agriculture, and industrial operations. It combines the functionality of a forklift with the reach of a crane. Telehandlers are equipped with a telescopic boom that can extend forward and upward, allowing operators to lift and place loads at heights and distances that conventional forklifts cannot reach.

✅ Key Safety Points

• Only trained and certified operators are permitted to operate telehandlers
• Always wear appropriate PPE including hard hat, safety boots, and high-visibility vest
• Never exceed the rated load capacity shown on the load chart
• Always wear the seatbelt when operating the machine
• Conduct a pre-use inspection before each shift
