For raising materials off the ground as high as 115 feet, you’ll need a telescopic handler (telehandler forklift) or reach forklift. A diferencia de un montacargas tradicional, un manipulador telescópico tiene un brazo telescópico para elevar materiales y puede usarse para extender cargas por encima de obstáculos. The boom can be fitted with various attachments, such as a crane hook or material bucket. The larger telehandlers with maximum capacities of 10,000 pounds and over have outriggers to stabilize the machine for heavier and higher lifts. Telehandlers are becoming a must-have on many jobsites, but which one to choose? Discover the different types of telehandlers and other factors to consider when buying or renting one in our article on Project Uptime.
