Telehandlers — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a telehandler?

+

A telehandler (telescopic handler) is a versatile lifting machine with an extendable boom that can reach forward and upward. It combines the capabilities of a forklift, crane, and loader, making it essential for construction, agriculture, and industrial applications.

What can a telehandler be used for?

+

Telehandlers are used for lifting pallets, bricks, roofing materials, hay bales, and other heavy loads to height. With attachments, they can also be used as loaders, work platforms, and material handlers on construction sites and farms.

How much does a telehandler cost in South Africa?

+

MCM Group telehandlers start from R 699 500 excl. VAT (Everun ERT1500 Telehandler). The final price depends on the model, configuration and any attachments. Contact your nearest branch or request a quote for current pricing and available specials.

What size telehandler do I need?

+

It depends on the work. MCM Group's telehandlers range in rated load from 1350 kg (Everun ERT1500 Telehandler) to 3000 kg (MCM TL300 Telehandler), in maximum lift height from 4.01 to 6.95 m and in engine power from 24.6 to 74.5 kW. The comparison table on this page lists every model, and any of our four branches can help you choose.

What is the difference between a telehandler and a telescopic loader?

+

Both have a telescopic boom for extra reach and lift height. Telehandlers are mainly used to lift and place loads at height, telescopic loaders mainly for loading with a bucket. Our 3 telehandlers have rated loads of 1350 to 3000 kg and lift to 6.95 m; our 12 telescopic loaders have rated loads of 600 to 4000 kg. See our telescopic loaders.

How high can a telehandler reach?

MCM telehandlers reach lift heights of up to 6.95 m, depending on the model. The lift height and forward reach vary by model — contact our sales team to find the right telehandler for your project requirements.

Does MCM Group offer finance on telehandlers?

About Telehandlers from MCM Group+

Telehandlers for sale in South Africa

MCM Group stocks 3 telehandler models for sale across South Africa, ready for collection at our branches in Cape Town, George, Bloemfontein, Midrand or for delivery to any of the nine provinces. Every telehandler we supply is selected and specified for tough local working conditions, and backed by in-country parts and service so you are never waiting on an overseas supplier when you need to keep working.

Telehandlers are used for lifting, placing and moving loads at height and reach on farms and construction sites. Whether you are a contractor, farmer, plant-hire operator or municipality, our team will help you match the right machine to your application and budget rather than over- or under-speccing the job.

How to choose the right telehandler

Start with the work the machine will do most often. Matching engine power, operating weight and lift or dig capacity to your typical tasks keeps running costs down and avoids paying for capability you will rarely use. If you run attachments, check the hydraulic flow and coupler type up front, and think about transport — how you will move the telehandler between sites affects which size class makes sense.

Compare the full specification of each model on its product page, then weigh up availability of parts, ease of servicing and resale value. A slightly higher purchase price often pays back through lower downtime and better support, which is exactly where buying a telehandler with a local warranty and a national parts network has the edge over a grey import.

Telehandler price and finance

Pricing for telehandlers at MCM Group starts from R 699 500 excl. VAT, with the final figure depending on configuration, attachments and any current specials. Request a quote on any model for an up-to-date, all-in price including VAT and delivery to your area.

Telehandlers (telescopic handlers) are versatile lifting machines that combine forklift capability with an extendable boom. They are widely used in construction for placing materials at height, in agriculture for stacking bales and handling feed, and in industry for loading and unloading operations.MCM Group offers a range of new telehandlers for sale in South Africa. Our telehandler models provide excellent lift height, forward reach and load capacity — giving operators the flexibility to handle a wide variety of lifting and material placement tasks from a single machine.All telehandlers from MCM Group include local warranty, genuine parts supply and after-sales service from our branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein.

On South African construction sites, telehandlers are typically used for placing concrete blocks, structural steel sections, roof trusses and glass panels at height — tasks that require the precision of a crane but at a scale that does not justify crane hire. Their rubber-tyred chassis and compact profile allow them to travel across the site, enter buildings and operate close to structures without the setup time and ground preparation required by cranes.

Maximum lift height and lift capacity at maximum height are the two most important specifications for a telehandler. A 7-metre lift height at 1,000 kg is common in construction. Agricultural telehandlers are often specified for 5—6-metre lift height with 2,500—3,500 kg capacity — sufficient for bale stacking and fertiliser bag handling. Check the load chart for the specific combination of boom extension and lift height required for your application.

Attachment versatility is a significant advantage of telehandlers. A single machine with a rotator-style quick-coupler can carry a pallet fork, bucket, bale clamp, man basket and crane hook — making it a multi-purpose machine across all areas of a farm or construction project.

MCM Group telehandlers come with full local warranty, parts availability and after-sales support from branches in Cape Town, George, Gauteng and Bloemfontein. Competitive operating lease and instalment sale finance is available through MCM Group's approved finance partners.
