Using a Rotating Telehandler Effectively in a Tight Space

The Ardent team has spent years working with clients in the construction sector and other industries where space is often at a premium and terrain is challenging and uneven. When you are struggling to find enough space to work effectively with traditional machinery, finding a solution is our task. Rotating telehandlers provide a simple, flexible solution to many needs where the area worked in is difficult.

What is a rotating telehandler?

A rotating telehandler is a telehandler that is specifically designed to help with handling and lifting operations that require the precise rotation of the loads being carried. Unlike a fixed-frame telehandler that has a stationary chassis, rotating telehandlers have a turret or turntable on the top of the chassis that can rotate a full 360 degrees independently of the chassis. This makes it the perfect piece of machinery for many construction, agricultural, and other sites where space is at a premium and there is not much space to be effective and safe in. Let’s take a look at how Ardent can help you with a provision of rotating telehandlers for a range of tight spaces.

Telehandlers in tight spaces

On every construction site, you’ll encounter different challenges each day. One of the largest challenges modern day sites, especially in urban areas, is that of a lack of space. Navigating tight and confined spaces has become common for construction workers, but this has meant that the plant hire industry has evolved to deliver equipment that can function to a high standard, and safely, within these tight spaces. Traditional construction equipment is often just too big for confined spaces, and this can cause delays to projects and increased safety risks. On crowded construction sites, it is important to be as precise as possible and to ensure that tasks are completed within a set time to minimise the chances of downtime and disruption.

Safety and efficiency at all times

A rotating telehandler provides a key component to a successful modern day construction site that suffers from tight working spaces. The characteristics of the rotating parts of the machine allow the operator to have precise control over the load position and the stability of the machine. Where there is a location on site that is tight and requires a carefully placed load, a rotating turret will provide the accuracy and flexibility that easily moves the materials in the right way – safely and efficiently. The operator has a clear view from the cab, providing greater safety levels and flexibility whilst in operation, and the telescopic boom can extend and retract based on the reach and lift required at any given moment on site. All of this comes together to make a rotating telehandler, the perfect choice of plant hire for many construction sites around the country.

Ardent and rotating telehandlers

We understand how important a rotating telehandler can be to a construction site, or any other type of industry, where there is limited space to work in, posing challenging and unsafe working conditions. The use of a rotating telehandler significantly increases safety levels, ensuring that operators can lift and move materials at height, even in the tightest of spaces. We’ve worked with construction companies for many years, and have moved with the times, evolving our fleet to ensure that whatever you need, we can deliver. If you’d like to find out more about how you can maximise efficiency and safety on a site with tight spaces and heavy loads to manoeuvre around, contact us today. Send us an email at hire@ardenthire.com or call 03333 202 555, and we can arrange a consultation with a specialist member of our team. From there, we’ll help you put together a plan of action that fits your requirements perfectly and ensures that even in the tightest of spaces, your staff can work efficiently and safely.
