Versatile and Powerful Telehandlers Perfect Fit with FESS Hire
Telehandlers are the unsung heroes of modern construction sites. Whether you’re unloading pallets, placing roof trusses, or lifting materials to upper floors, having the right telehandler on site can dramatically increase productivity and reduce manual handling risks.
At FESS Hire, we offer a wide selection of telehandlers for hire, from compact 6-metre units to 20-metre high-reach machines. With the release of our new FESS Hire Equipment Brochure, it’s never been easier to browse, compare and select the right unit for your next job.
Why the Right Telehandler Matter
Telehandlers combine the lifting power of a forklift with the reach of a crane. Their versatility makes them ideal for a wide range of construction and infrastructure projects.
The wrong machine, however, can waste time, damage materials, and compromise safety.
That’s why we help you choose based on;
✅ Required lift height and outreach
✅ Load weight and stability needs
✅ Ground conditions (muddy site vs firm surface)
✅ Attachments (forks, buckets, jibs, cages)
✅ Space and turning radius
