Looking for safe, versatile lifting equipment? Our telescoping forklift rental options at Lift Group — Heavy Equipment Rental Company provide telehandlers built for construction, warehousing, and outdoor heavy lifting. This guide helps you choose, operate, and get the best value from a telescopic lift.

What is a telescoping forklift?

A telescoping forklift (also called a telehandler) combines a forklift's load-handling capability with an extendable boom for reach and height. It is ideal when you need both lift capacity and extended reach.

Why choose telescoping forklift rental?

• Flexibility: Short-term or long-term rental for project-based needs.
• Cost-efficiency: Avoid capital purchase, maintenance, and storage costs.
• Variety: Multiple reach and capacity classes to match site requirements.
• Support: Operator training, on-site delivery, and maintenance from Lift Group.

Common applications

• Construction sites — placing materials at height or over obstacles.
• Agriculture and landscaping — moving bales, feed, or equipment.
• Warehousing and logistics — loading/unloading and stacking.
• Industrial maintenance — servicing roofs, mezzanines, and elevated platforms.

Key specs to check before renting

• Maximum lift capacity (at max reach and at ground level).
• Maximum reach and lift height.
• Tire type — rough-terrain vs. industrial.
• Power source — diesel, gas, or electric.
• Attachments available — forks, buckets, winches, work platforms.

How to choose the right telescoping forklift rental

1. Define the job: weight, lift height, reach, and ground conditions.
2. Select capacity class: match the maximum required load at the necessary reach.
3. Pick attachments: fork carriage, pallet fork, lifting hook, or man basket.
4. Confirm logistics: site access, delivery, and space for maneuvering.
5. Arrange training or certified operators if required.
