How do I choose between a forklift and a telehandler for my site?
A forklift is generally better suited to flat, hard-standing areas with shorter lift heights, while a telehandler's extending boom offers far greater reach and lift height, making it more versatile on uneven or constrained construction sites. Telehandlers can also often be fitted with attachments like buckets or work platforms for added flexibility. The decision should be based on typical lift height, reach needed, and ground conditions across the site.
