Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about telehandler hire in Geelong.
A telehandler (telescopic handler) is a lifting machine with a telescopic boom that extends outward and upward, combining a forklift's load capacity with a crane-like reach. It's used to place materials at height or over obstacles that a standard forklift can't reach.
Start with your required reach - how high and how far out the load needs to go - then check the load weight against the machine's rated capacity at that reach (capacity drops as reach increases). Our compact models suit residential and tight sites; mid and high-reach machines suit construction and multi-storey work. Call us with your job details and we'll confirm the right machine.
A standard forklift lifts straight up on a fixed mast, suited to level, hard-standing surfaces. A telehandler's boom extends outward as well as up, and most models run four-wheel drive with all-terrain tyres - making them the better choice for rough ground, elevated placement, or reaching over an obstacle.
Yes. Our electric model gives zero-emission lifting suited to indoor or noise-restricted sites, and our 360° slewing telehandler can place loads on all four sides of a job without repositioning the machine - useful on constrained sites where manoeuvring room is limited.
Yes - we deliver across Geelong, the Surf Coast, Bellarine Peninsula, Colac, Ballarat and surrounds from our North Geelong yard, with most machines available for same-week hire. Call us with your site address and preferred dates for a delivery quote.
