Q: What factors should I consider when buying a telehandler?

A: The specification of your telehandler will need to accommodate the requirements of what you’ll be using it for. Consider things like the maximum lifting capacity, the boom lifting height and the dimensions of the machine itself. Will it be used indoors or outdoors? And will it fit within the environment it will be working in?

Q: What should I check for when viewing a used telehandler?

A: It’s worth spending a good amount of time inspecting a used telehandler, else you may be faced with a hefty repair bill down the line.

Check the general cleanliness of the machine as this is a good indicator of how well cared for it has been. Inspect the lifting boom to ensure none of the components are excessively worn and also inspect the condition of the tyres. Most importantly, start the engine, let it warm up and then check the engine, transmission and hydraulic oil levels.

If purchasing for agricultural purposes, be wary that agricultural-specification telehandlers tend to have numerous additional features tailor-made for farm operations that a comparable Construction telehandler might not have installed.

If all of the above sounds overly complicated then don’t worry, just call one of our specialist sales team. They will be happy to assist you and, when you buy your telehandler from T H WHITE, you can rest assured we have already carried out all of the above checks for you as part of our comprehensive inspection process.

Q: How long should a telehandler last?

A: This varies by the manufacturer, the environment the telehandler is working in and the type of work it is carrying out. However, a regularly serviced and well maintained telehandler should see anywhere between 7000 to 10,000 hours of service.
