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?
