Telehandler hire and rough terrain forklifts
Machines that lift materials higher than a standard forklift can reach, and get across ground a warehouse machine would bog down on.
Reach and capacity
Telehandlers
A telehandler does the job of a crane and a forklift at once. A single telescopic boom extends up and forwards, so you can place a pallet on the third floor of a build without setting up a crane or a scaffold.
The boom takes attachments — forks, buckets, work platforms — so one machine covers jobs that would otherwise need three.
Our telehandlers reach lift heights of up to 18m, which puts them to work across construction, agriculture, manufacturing and forestry.
What you get
- Lift heights to 18m
- Four-wheel drive with an oscillating rear axle for traction
- Three steering modes
- Joystick controls
- Merlo slewing models, including below-ground and under-bridge platform work

Off the sealed yard
Rough terrain forklifts
Large diameter front wheels and serious traction, so these machines work on ground that stops a warehouse forklift — construction sites, farms, forestry blocks, docks and yards.
They are compact enough to be manoeuvrable and stable enough to be safe on a slope, with transmission built for quick directional changes when you are shuttling loads back and forth.
The fleet varies in operating weight and lifting capacity, so tell us the load and the ground and we will match a machine to it.
Suited to
- Construction sites and civil works
- Farms and horticulture
- Forestry operations
- Docks, yards and laydown areas
- Indoor and outdoor use
Rough terrain forklifts for hire
Not sure which
Telehandler or forklift?
If you need to place a load up and over something — onto a first floor, across a trench, over a fence line — you want a telehandler. If you are moving loads along the ground on rough or unsealed surfaces, a rough terrain forklift will do it for less.
Tell us the weight, the height and the ground conditions and we will tell you which fits. See the rest of the fleet on access machines, or book EWP training with our own trainers.
