What Telehandler Size is Right for Your Job?

Choosing the right-sized telehandler is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure a successful operation. If you choose a telehandler of larger size you will spend all day trying to push through your job site, resulting in overuse and breakdowns. If you choose too small a

telehandler⁠

and you won't be able to provide enough load capacity to the jobsite or get everything done in a timely manner. The best size lies somewhere in between. Dieci Ontario is going to help you find out what exactly this size is, its benefits and some tips on how to improve your onsite efficiency by selecting the right size for your job site.

The right size of a telehandler for your job depends on several factors:

Load capacity: Choose a telehandler with a load capacity that is suitable for the heaviest item you will be lifting.

Reach: Determine the maximum height and distance required for the loads you will be handling, and select a telehandler with an appropriate boom length and lift height.

Workspace: Consider the size and layout of the workspace, including doorways and narrow aisles, to ensure the telehandler can manoeuvre effectively and safely.

Terrain: Consider the terrain and conditions of the work area, such as rough or uneven surfaces, to ensure the

telehandler efficiency⁠

is suitable for the job.

Power source: Decide if you need a diesel-powered, gasoline-powered, or electric-powered telehandler, based on your power requirements and operating environment.

Budget: Determine your budget and choose a telehandler that fits within your budget while still meeting your needs and requirements.

There are two key factors that contribute to the size of a telehandler: how much weight it can lift and how far it travels on its wheels (distance per hour). The amount of weight that can be lifted depends on several factors, including the number of tires and axles on the machine, how many people are loading or unloading material and how fast they need to move it. The maximum gross weight and maximum speed are determined by law and should be considered when determining what size telehandler is best for your needs.

Before you can pull the trigger and choose what size of telehandler to buy, you need to be very sure about your landing zone. Knowing where the job site will be is important so make sure you know where it is before buying the machine. Choosing the right size for your job can be a bit of a hassle. You need to know what size you need, but it's not always clear how much work you can expect from a given model. This is where telehandlers come in handy. They are designed with the needs of many different kinds of jobs in mind, making them a good choice for any type of job site.
