What is the maximum lift height and lifting capacity of a telehandler?

The maximum lift height of a telehandler depends on the specific model and manufacturer. In our rental offer, we have machines ranging from a working reach of 5 metres, which is ideal for smaller construction sites, to models with a lifting height of up to 26 metres.

It is worth bearing in mind, however, that the higher the working reach, the lower the lifting capacity of the machine. This means that when the arm is fully extended, the lifting capacity will be less than when working at lower heights. Therefore, it is always advisable to read the exact specifications of the machine before hiring it to ensure that it will be able to lift the load at the required height.

The lifting capacity of a telehandler also depends on its model and application. Depending on the machine, the lifting capacity can range from 2 to 5 tonnes. In general, the higher the lifting capacity, the lower the lifting range, as the increased weight affects the stability of the machine. At Ramirent Construction Equipment Rental, we offer a wide range of telehandlers for hire, which vary in lifting height and lifting capacity. Here are details of the models available:

Telescopic handlers with a lifting height of 5 - 6.5 m

• Load capacity: 2.5 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum reach: 800 kg
• Ideal for working in narrow spaces such as warehouses or small construction sites. Despite their shorter reach, they offer a robust lifting capacity in confined conditions.

Telescopic handlers with lift heights of 6.9 - 7.5 m

• Load capacity: 3.1 - 3.2 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum reach: 1,250 kg
• These models provide greater reach while offering a decent lifting capacity, making them an excellent choice for medium-sized construction work.

Telescopic handlers with lift heights of 8.0 - 9.5 m

• Load capacity: 3.2 - 3.5 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum reach: 450 - 1,200 kg
• Thanks to their greater lifting height, these machines can cope with more demanding tasks, such as transporting materials to higher floors or working on taller structures.

Telescopic handlers with lift heights of 12 - 14 m

• Lifting capacity: 4 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum extension: 1250 - 1500 kg
• These models combine a higher lifting capacity with a longer reach, proving suitable for more demanding construction and transport work.

Telescopic handlers with lift heights of 15 - 18 m

• Load capacity: 4 tonnes
• Load capacity at maximum reach: 550 - 850 kg
• Perfect for tasks that require a high reach but with a lower lifting capacity, such as work on large construction sites.

Telescopic handlers with a lifting height of 19 - 21 m

• Load capacity: 5 - 5.5 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum reach: 250 - 500 kg
• With their pivoting function, these machines offer flexibility and mobility, but with a longer reach their lifting capacity is lower.

Telescopic handlers with a lifting height of 22 - 25 m

• Load capacity: 5 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum reach: 400 kg
• Powerful machines that offer a lower lifting capacity at full reach despite their high lifting height, ideal for specialised tasks.

Telescopic handlers with a lifting height of 26 m

• Load capacity: 5.5 - 6 tonnes
• Lifting capacity at maximum reach: 250 - 300 kg
• These are the most advanced models and, thanks to their exceptional lifting heights and high lifting capacities, will prove their worth in the toughest working conditions.
