Telehandler Hire FAQs
Do your machines come with an operator?
Yes, always. WAFCON hires wet rate only: the telehandler comes with an experienced operator included. You never need to source your own.
What can the telehandler lift?
The Manitou MT1340 lifts up to 4,000 kg, reaches 13 m lift height and 9.35 m forward reach, making it suited to placing material at height and across rough ground.
What is a telehandler used for?
A telehandler lifts and places material such as building supplies, pallets and equipment, including at height, using a telescopic boom. It bridges the gap between a forklift and a crane.
Is a telehandler the same as a teleporter?
Yes. A telehandler is also called a teleporter or a telescopic handler — the same rough-terrain machine that lifts and places material at height using a telescopic boom.
Do you deliver the telehandler to site?
Yes. WAFCON moves machines to and from site on its own flatbed truck. Confirm transport when you request your quote.
