What are telescopic forklifts?
Telescopic forklifts (also known as telehandlers) are different from telescopic boom lifts. They combine the reaching capability of a boom lift with the heavy-duty lifting power required for harsh all-terrain surfaces. A telehandler offers more lifting capacity than a rough terrain forklift, with added outreach and versatility.
On the other hand, telescopic boom lifts are known as straight boom lifts and can be located under our boom lift hire page. Telescopic boom lifts provide maximum height and reach and are classified as elevating work platform (EWP) access equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a telehandler used for?
A telehandler is used for lifting, moving and placing heavy materials on construction and industrial sites. It combines forklift lifting power with forward reach, making it suitable for loading trucks, placing materials at height and working across rough terrain. Telehandler hire is common for building, rail, road, mining and agriculture projects.
How much does telehandler hire cost in Melbourne?
Telehandler hire cost depends on lift capacity, hire duration and attachment requirements. A 2.5 tonne telehandler will typically have different hire rates compared to a 3 tonne model. For accurate telehandler hire rates in Melbourne, contact Duralift for a same-day quote tailored to your job.
What is the difference between a telehandler and a forklift?
A telehandler has an extending boom that allows forward reach and lifting at height. A standard forklift primarily lifts vertically. Telehandler rental is often preferred when extra reach or uneven terrain capability is required.

What attachments are available with telehandler hire?
Common telehandler attachments include forks, jibs and specialised lifting accessories. Hiring telehandler attachments increases versatility and allows the machine to adapt to different lifting applications on site.
Do I need a licence to operate a telehandler?
In most cases, operators require appropriate high-risk work licensing or verified competency to operate a telehandler. Duralift can assist with telehandler training through registered training organisations to ensure compliance and safe operation.
How do I choose the right telehandler for my job?
Choosing the right telehandler hire option depends on lift capacity, required outreach, working height and ground conditions. Consider whether you need a 2.5-tonne or 3-tonne machine and whether attachments are required. If unsure, Duralift can recommend the most suitable telehandler rental solution for your project.
