Choosing telehandlers for the job

Rated capacity changes with boom extension, height and attachment. Review the correct load chart for the serial-specific configuration rather than relying on a headline capacity figure.

Specifications that matter

Specification	Why it matters
Maximum lift capacity	Must be read with the applicable configuration, stability limits and duty.
Lift height	Shows whether the configured machine fits the required work envelope.
Forward reach	Shows whether the configured machine fits the required work envelope.
Capacity at reach	Shows whether the configured machine fits the required work envelope.
Stabilizers	Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Carriage and forks	Compare the serial-specific configuration and intended work, not the label alone.
Tire type	Affects traction, flotation, wear cost, width and transport.
