Telehandlers for Sale

JCB invented the telescopic handler and still maintains its status at the top of the market alongside both well-known construction equipment manufacturers like Bobcat, CAT, and Genie and lesser-known brands JLG, Manitou, and Skytrak.

Choosing the Best Telehandler for Construction

Although forks are the primary attachment, telehandlers are much more than construction forklifts. Their booms get materials to places no other machine can reach. And their compatibility with a number of attachments allow you to carry a wider variety of materials.

In addition to versatility, the latest advancements in the category revolve around safety and productivity — giving operators more confidence to lift and carry loads at greater and greater heights. 

These are all important factors to consider in your purchase. But, more than anything else, size matters in telehandlers. The size of the machine dictates the ground leverage it has and the load it can safely carry. Make sure you understand the types and weights of loads in your application to choose the right size for the scale of your projects.

Top Telehandler Models

• JCB 510-56 – The most popular handler from the most popular brand, the 510-56 has a 5-ton lifting capacity and can carry loads at speeds of 15 MPH. It’s a great machine for masonry and framing. 

• Genie GTH-5519 – The GTH-5519 is another great fit for masonry and most any construction application. It might be a compact telehandler, but it still sports a 4,400-lb. lifting capacity at max height.

• Bobcat TL619 – Telehandlers are equally popular in agriculture, so it’s no surprise Bobcat makes a model that spans both applications. The TL619 can travel more than 18 MPH across a job site and lift 5,500-plus pounds up over 19 feet.
