High-capacity telehandlers do the heavy lifting

“We see the market as being strong and are experiencing an upward trend compared to the same period last year,” says Gary Weisman, COO of Magni America, of high-capacity telehandlers. “The southeast and Texas are showing the greatest demand. This is due to the presence of ‘mega projects,’ the energy sector and population demands.”

High-capacity telehandlers – or units that can lift 10,000 pounds or more – are primarily utilized in all types of construction, mining, oil and gas and heavy industrial sectors. 10K and 12K models are seen on most any construction site and these heavy lifters perform various critical tasks, including handling steel at large construction sites, assisting with the maintenance of mining equipment and transporting large transformers for electric companies.
