Micro machines matter

Like their larger-sized counterparts, super compact telehandlers – units with less than 5,500-pounds of lift capacity – are typically the first machines on the jobsite and the last to leave. The applications for these compact machines vary greatly from the initial phases of a large construction project, where the machines can be found unloading trucks and delivering materials, to the closing stages where they can be utilized for jobsite clean-up and landscaping.

The biggest market and applications for compact telehandlers continues to be general construction. Other markets/applications include agriculture, landscaping and hardscaping, parking garage construction and maintenance, refurbishment construction as well as residential construction.

With technology advancements affecting every aspect of equipment design and use, the future is bright – and connected – for this industry’s tiny workhorse.
