When you need a versatile and smaller sized machine to lift and load your goods, a manitou telehandler is the perfect choice. At Surf City Cranes, we offer flexible manitou hire services across Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Here we look at common questions, from what is a telehandler to what kind of jobs they are most beneficial for.
What is a Telehandler?
Adept at manoeuvring around tighter spaces, a telehandler is a great tool for lifting smaller loads up from the ground to second or third storey spaces. This makes it a popular choice for warehousing along with smaller construction, mining and forestry applications. Their versatile design allows them to handle a diverse range of tasks, from hauling materials around a job site to craning objects up to higher places.
Reach and Lift Capabilities
The 3T manitou telehandler we provide for hire features a telescoping arm that extends out horizontally to six metres. At full lateral extension, the arm can lift 1.2 tonnes. When raised to a vertical position, the arm extends up to 9.98m and lifts a maximum load capacity of three tonnes, safely supported by the signature manitou suspension. Whether you’re lifting construction materials or organising heavy stock, this powerful little telehandler can take your operations to convenient new heights.
Convenient and Versatile Features
The versatility of a telehandler comes down to the flexibility in different attachments and accessories it can accommodate. Options range from pallet forks to buckets, muck grabs and lifting jibs. Fitted with large off-road tyres, these nimble machines can also move around sites with rough and uneven terrain. This means it can work in nearly any condition and on any surface without issues or delay. The telehandler also has stabilisers that extend from the front of the machine around the front tyres that add stability to the base during lifting and hauling operations.
Compact and Safe
Manage cramped construction sites with no issue using a manitou machine. Designed to be space-efficient, a manitou is designed to offer the telehandler operator a high level of manoeuvrability. This means it’s easier than ever to navigate through tight spaces in a busy warehouse or construction site. With premium manitou suspension as part of the build, these telehandlers also guarantee safety and stability even when carrying heavier loads and extending to its maximum reach.
