When to hire a telehandler
Lifting pallets and materials onto floors and roofs, placing loads at a distance and working on rough site ground.
Which size to choose
The sizes listed are lift heights, from 6 to 18 m, not horizontal reach. Also give the load weight, the distance to reach, the ground and the attachment. The hire company checks the capacity on the model's load chart. To work in several directions without moving the machine, compare a rotating telehandler. Operators normally need a CPCS or NPORS telehandler card on site.
Frequently asked questions
How much does telehandler hire cost in Plymouth?
As a guide, a 7 m to 9 m telehandler is often around £160 to £170 a day or £450 to £475 a week before VAT. A 14 m machine is often around £200 a day or £450 to £520 a week, and a 17.5 m machine around £220 a day or £600 a week. Transport, attachments and an operator, if needed, are extra.
Can I hire a telehandler with an operator?
Yes, you can ask for operated hire. Choose that option and describe the job and the hours you expect; the hire company confirms availability and quotes for the operator. Compare the total including fuel, travel and any overtime.
How does delivery of a telehandler work?
You can ask for delivery and collection or arrange to collect it yourself, depending on the equipment and the company. Give the postcode, the access, the delivery times and how it can be unloaded. Check the price of both journeys and who loads and unloads before you accept the quote.
Do I need a licence or training to operate it?
On UK sites operators are normally expected to be trained and to hold a recognised card for the machine, such as CPCS or NPORS, or IPAF for access platforms, and the hire company may ask for proof. If you do not have one, hire it with an operator.
