Telehandler Rentals

There are some key differences between a telehandler and a forklift. A telehandler is more versatile than a forklift because it can be used in a wider range of tasks and has a range of attachments including pallet forks, buckets, and lifting hooks. This makes a telehandler suitable for loading and unloading tasks, excavation, and material handling. They are also able to load heavier materials than a forklift; the load capacity of a telehandler depends on the size but ranges from 5,000 pounds to 20,000 pounds lifting capacity. These machines are designed to move easily over rough terrain and can be driven on roads as well.

The most common types of telehandlers available in the market. Compact Telehandlers: small-sized telehandlers with a maximum lift capacity of up to 10,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of up to 55 feet. Large Telehandlers: heavy-duty telehandlers with a maximum lift capacity of up to 20,000 pounds and a maximum lift height of up to 80 feet. Rotating Telehandlers: These machines have a rotating cab that allows the telehandler to rotate 360 degrees, providing greater maneuverability and flexibility.

The maximum weight capacity of a telehandler varies on the machine model. Weight capacities range from around 5,000 pounds to over 20,000 pounds or more. Some larger telehandlers may be abel to lift heavier loads but it's important to refer to the manufacturers' specifications to determine the maximum weight capacity of a particular telehandler.

The maximum lift height of a telehandler varies on the specific model. Telehandlers are designed to lift loads to heights ranging from 18 feet to 60 feet. Some specialized telehandlers are capable of lifting up to 100 feet or more. The maximum lift height depends on factors such as the weight of the load, the reach of the telehandler's boom, and the angle at which the load is lifted.

The most common attachments that can be used with a telehandler. Forks: fork attachments are the most common attachments used for lifting and moving pallets, bales, and other similar loads. Buckets: a bucket attachment can be used to scoop up loose materials such as sand, gravel, and soil. Grapple: Used to grab and move irregularly shaped objects such as rocks and scrap metal. Crane: a crane attachment is used to lift and move heavy objects including beams, trusses, and machinery. Platform: a platform attachment is used to lift workers to levels of height for tasks that include maintenance, construction, or installation work.

Operating a telehandler can be a complex task that requires proper training and a focus on safety. Here are a few tips to operate a telehandler safely. Training: before operating a telehandler, make sure the operator has received adequate training on how to use the machine, including control, limitations, and safety features. Perform a Pre-Operational Check: before operating the machine do a pre-operational check to make sure it is in good working condition including checking the brakes, steering, hydraulic systems, tires, and other critical components. Secure the Load: employees to need to make sure the load is securely fastened to the telehandler's forks or bucket before moving or lifting. Use straps, chains, or other restraints to prevent the load from shifting or falling.

Proper maintenance of a telehandler is crucial for ensuring that it remains safe and efficient to use.

There are a variety of factors to consider which telehandler will work for your jobsite. Lift Capacity: should match the weight of the materials that need to be lifted. Reach: if the job requires materials to be lifted to a higher height, then a telehandler with a greater reach will be needed. Terrain: consider the terrain of the jobsite as well. If the site has rough or uneven terrain, then a telehandler with all-terrain capabilities will be required. Maneuverability: this is also important especially if the job site is small or has limited access in which case a telehandler with a tight turning radius will be needed. If you are unsure what telehandler will be needed, the team at All Access Services is here to help.

Yes, there are regulations and certifications required too operate a telehandler. They are designed to train operators on telehandler safety, capabilities, and to prevent accidents on the job site. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires operators of telehandlers to be trained and certified before operating the equipment. All Access Services has a training program available to receive training and certification.

Like any machinery, telehandlers can face issues or problems that can affect their performance and safety. Mechanical issues: Telehandlers can face mechanical problems such as hydraulic system leaks, transmission problems, and engine issues. Overloading: Telehandlers are designed to lift and move heavy loads, but overloading can cause damage to the equipment, compromise its stability and create a safety hazard. Operator error: Telehandler operators must be properly trained and knowledgeable about the equipment to avoid operator error, which can result in accidents and damage to the equipment. All Access Services is committed to our telehandler maintenance program to minimize any potential issues.

Yes, a telehandler can be used in rough terrain or uneven surfaces. Telehandlers are designed to handle a variety of terrain types and conditions with most telehandlers coming equipped with 4-wheel drive, differential locks, and rough terrain tires. Most telehandlers also come equipped with outriggers or stabilizers that can be used for additional stability on uneven surfaces.

A basic telehandler training program typically lasts between 1-3 days, with more comprehensive programs lasting up to 5 days or more. After completing the training program, the trainee will typically need to demonstrate their proficiency in operating the telehandler before they are certified to operate it on their own. All Access Services has a telehandler training program available.

Consider the job site's terrain and the telehandler's maneuverability; rough terrain models are better for uneven or off-road conditions. Evaluate the lift height and reach required for the tasks, making sure that the telehandler can safely extend to the necessary height and distance. Determine the maximum load capacity needed to handle the heaviest materials or equipment. It's also important to consider the attachments that might be necessary including forks, buckets, or winches for compatibility with the telehandler model.

Yes, telehandlers can be rented from All Access Rentals. We offer a range of telehandler models and sizes to suit different construction, agricultural, and industrial needs. Renting a telehandler is a cost-effective solution for projects that require the machine for a short-term period or for businesses that need the equipment for occasional use.

Yes, scissor lifts can be called a variety names including aerial work platforms, elevated work platforms, man lifts, and access platforms.

The primary difference between using a scissor lift and scaffolding is in the mobility and setup. A scissor lift is a mobile latform that can be easily moved and adjusted vertically with the push of a button, making it great for tasks requiring frequent height adjustments and quick relocation. Scaffolding, on the other hand, is a temporary, fixed structure assembled from metal poles and platforms. It provides a stable and spacious work area for extended periods but requires more time and effort to set up and dismantle.

In the All Access fleet, the highest scissor lift model we carry for rent is 40 ft. The platform capacity on the 40 ft scissor lift is 770 pounds.

Choosing between an electric or engine-powered scissor lift for your project depends on a few different factors including the work environment, power availability, and specific project needs. Electric scissor lifts are great for indoor projects or areas with limited ventilation, as they produce no emissions and operate quietly, making them suitable for indoor construction, maintenance, or warehouse tasks. They are also easier to maintain and typically have lower operational costs. Engine-powered scissor lifts are better suited for outdoor projects where rough terrain and more demanding tasks require greater power and mobility. These lifts can operate in various weather conditions and don't rely on an electrical power source, providing greater flexibility in remote or off-grid locations.

The most popular scissor lift rental from All Access is our 26 ft scissor lift because of it's mid-size reach. It can provide a working height of 13 ft to 26 feet and has become one of the most commonly rented scissor lifts in our fleet.

A scissor lift is a type of aerial work platform used to provide temporary access to elevated areas, typically for construction, maintenance, or other industrial tasks. It is characterized by its crisscrossing metal supports that expand and contract in a scissor-like fashion, allowing the platform to be raised or lowered vertically. Scissor lifts are powered by various means, including hydraulic, pneumatic, or mechanical systems, and they can be mobile or stationary. They offer a stable and secure platform for workers, tools, and materials.

A scissor lift and a boom lift are both types of aerial work platforms, but they differ significantly in design and functionality. A scissor lift features a crisscrossing mechanism that expands and contracts to provide vertical lift. It is primarily used for tasks that require straight up-and-down movement and offers a stable platform for workers and equipment. A boom lift has a hydraulic arm that can extend both vertically and horizontally, providing greater flexibility and reach, which makes it ideal for accessing hard-to-reach areas.

Yes, cissor lifts are safe to use when operated correctly and under proper conditions. Safety features include guardrails and emergency stop buttons for safety, but users must still exercise caution to avoid hazards like tipping over, electrical contacts, or falling objects. Maintaining OSHA regulations and wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) further increases safety during scissor lift operations.
