THE BENEFITS OF USING A TELEHANDLER

Telehandlers are really versatile machines that can bring a great range of benefits to your jobsite. They are able to perform multiple functions, this reduces the need for additional equipment and helps to increase site efficiency. One of the biggest benefits of using a telehandler is its manoeuvrability, making it ideal for use in tight spaces and on challenging terrain. With the right telehandler attachments, you can use your machine for tasks including handling materials, excavation, demolition, and lifting people.

ADJUSTABLE REVERSIBLE FORKS

Adjustable reversible forks are really useful for telehandlers in a variety of ways. The primary use of this attachment is to handle material. They can be used to lift and load materials and items of different shapes and sizes. The ability to adjust the fork width means you can handle these materials precisely and efficiently. The option to reverse the forks also means you can decide whether you have the load facing or away from the cab. The overall benefits of using fork telehandler attachments are increased versatility, improved handling, and reduced risk of damage to the telehandler and its load.

EJECTOR BUCKETS

Ejector buckets are valuable telehandler attachments to have. They can be useful in a variety of industries, including agriculture, construction, and waste management. Ejector buckets use a hydraulic system that allows the operator to eject the bucket’s contents without having to tilt it. This ability increases the efficiency and productivity of your machine.

ROOF TRUSS JIB

The roof truss jib is a telehandler attachment that has been specifically designed for use in the construction industry. It’s a telehandler attachment that is used to lift and position roof trusses and sometimes other building materials. This is especially useful during the construction of roofs, walls, and floors. This attachment allows for the operator to easily lift and move heavy loads with precision and accuracy. Reducing the need for manual labour, which saves time and lowers the risk of injury.

DIGGER BREAKERS

Also known as hydraulic breakers or demolition hammers, digger breakers are used to break up concrete and other hard surfaces such as rock and asphalt. These attachments fit onto excavators, backhoe and skid steer loaders. Digger breakers use hydraulic power to deliver high impact blows, with a chisel tip which helps to break the surface into smaller pieces. Making them perfect for demolition work.

RIPPER ATTACHMENT

Rippers are demolition attachments that are used to break up hard soil, concrete, and tarmac. You’ll typically find rippers being used as an attachment on excavators, as the ripper is excellent for helping to prepare the group for excavation. This attachment can come in a range of shapes and sizes, each made to suit different types of material. Using this attachment will help to increase the longevity of your excavator buckets, as you won’t be putting strain on them whilst trying to dig up solid ground.

CRUSHER BUCKETS

Another powerful demolition attachment that’ll help improve your project is the crusher bucket. This attachment is designed to fit onto excavators and are used to crush and recycle concrete, rock, and debris. The crushed material produced by the bucket can be used as fill, reducing the need for bringing more materials onto the site. A huge advantage of using a crusher bucket is that you’ll save a lot of time. Crusher buckets allow the operator to redistribute crushed material for backfilling, meaning you won’t need to wait around for a skip to arrive, or a site dumper to move the load around.

HYDRA GRAPPLES

Hydra grapples are a very versatile type of digger attachment. They can be used in demolition to easily sort and move debris around the demolition site. This grapple uses hydraulics which allow the operator to control the opening and closing of the grapple. With this attachment, the operator is able to efficiently pick up large or awkwardly shaped pieces of debris. You’ll find this attachment especially useful in situations where it would be dangerous and difficult for manual labour to be carried out.
