What do you need to know about telehandlers?

This is a machine in the field of handling equipment, otherwise known as a specialised forklift with variable reach. It differs markedly from the classic forklift truck in size and working range. The engine power of the telehandler is reinforced and it has an additionally supported operator's cabin. The specialised forklift truck has the possibility of attaching additional attachments. The interchangeable part significantly extends the working range of the machine, making it quite versatile. In order to operate the machine, it is necessary to obtain the relevant qualifications and authorisations issued by the UDT.

Most commonly selected  accessories:

  • spoon
  • pitchforks
  • lift
  • grab
  • platform
  • ploughs.

Telescopic handlers fall into two categories:

  • Front loader (rigid) - has the boom on the right side of the machine and the operator's cab and arm are connected rigidly to the chassis, preventing horizontal movement. It is characterised by a very high lifting capacity of up to 20 tonnes and the arm has a maximum reach of 20 metres.
  • Rotary charger - has a movable swivel head that allows horizontal work and can make a full 360° rotation. It features a smaller lifting capacity of 3 to 5 tonnes, while the arm's reach is much greater than that of a front-end loader and is up to 30 metres.

What does the training look like?

The Operator Training Centre employs qualified instructors who are committed to teaching their trainees. Thanks to our experienced lecturers, you will learn the necessary information to enter the profession. Training on modern equipment is a major asset at our centre.

Classes conducted at the centre include theoretical and practical knowledge

  • Theoretical part - during lectures at our centre, you will learn how a telehandler is built and in which jobs it can be used.
  • Practical part - Under the supervision of our specialists, you will learn how to use the equipment safely and the applicable health and safety rules.

What kind of job can you get, after the telehandler operator course?

The telehandler has the possibility of attaching additional attachments, which allows the machine to be transformed into other equipment. Working with the device, it can be used in almost any field. Telehandlers are most often used in work related to agriculture, construction and aviation. The machine is characterised by a high lifting capacity, even above 20 tonnes, and the ability to work at height. With the machine, we can easily transport heavy loads and place them at the required height. In addition, the loader has adapted tyres and a drive for uneven terrain, which greatly facilitates construction work where the terrain is ditched.

The most common jobs with a loader:

  • loading and unloading
  • transport of heavy and bulky materials
  • lifting a load or people.
