When it comes to transporting machinery like telehandlers, relying on professional telehandler transport services ensures safe and prompt delivery to and from the job site.
The weight of a telehandler varies depending on the make, model, and attachments being used. Knowing the weight is essential to select the right truck for safe and compliant transport.
One of the most practical and affordable options for transporting telehandlers is a tilt tray truck.
Tilt tray trucks are designed for efficiency and safety. With their hydraulically tilting trays, they simplify the loading and unloading process of heavy machinery like telehandlers.
The tray tilts to create a ramp, allowing the telehandler to be either driven or winched onto the tray with ease. This reduces the risk of damage to both the equipment and the truck, while ensuring smooth and secure handling.
If the telehandler is operational, our tilt tray trucks can handle loads up to 24 tons.
If the telehandler is not drivable—due to mechanical failure, damaged wheels, or hydraulic issues—a heavy-duty winch system can pull it safely onto the tray. Our tilt trays are equipped to handle up to 9 tons of “dead weight” winching.
The winch is attached to a secure point on the telehandler, such as the chassis or designated towing mounts, and is used to steadily pull the machine onto the tray.
