Our telescoping forklift rental options at Lift Group — Heavy Equipment Rental Company provide telehandlers built for construction, warehousing, and outdoor heavy lifting.

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?

- 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).

- Tire type — rough-terrain vs. industrial.
