Do I Need A Telehandler?
Posted: November 20, 2019
The GEHL telehandler is a personal favorite at Lake County International. Some older farmers might ask why they need a telescopic handler. Well, the answer is simple.
Telehandlers are more like cranes than your standard forklift. At the end of a telehandler, an operator can use pallet forks, buckets or winches to move key items to hard-to-reach areas.
What makes the GEHL telehandler a must-have is its serviceability. That means the ease of access for overall maintenance is a dream. Gone are the days of calling long-distance service help to fix what you could do in an hour.
There is a catch to having a Telehandler and it something that even GEHL suffers from today. When you raise the boom on a telehandler, it can possibly make the equipment unstable. But anything can become unstable if you make it top heavy.
Back to the question at hand. Do you need a telehandler? Well, do you need to store hay? Is there a need on your farm to move bulky materials out of the way of livestock, crops and fellow workers? If the answer was Yes, then you need a telehandler.
Some people still might be on the fence and there are options to investigate. Lake County International sells a wide variety of tools from Telehandlers to Skid Steers and points beyond.
