Telehandler or crane for setting roof trusses?

For houses and low-rise buildings, a telehandler with a jib or truss boom is often quicker and cheaper than a crane. For taller buildings, long reaches over obstacles or heavy loads, a mobile crane or a rotating telehandler usually makes more sense.

Key checks before lifting with a telehandler:

  • Use the load chart for the attachment you are using.
  • Only use attachments approved for that model.
  • Make sure the operator and slinger are trained for suspended loads.

What do you use for trusses on two- and three-storey buildings?
