What industries do we help with telehandler hire?

There are myriad industries that we cater for at Ardent, with telehandler hire used within quite a few industries, including:

Construction – telehandlers are a common sight on construction sites, as they are a fantastic piece of machinery to help move large loads and cumbersome materials to heights that a forklift can’t reach. From concrete blocks and steel beams to materials for roofing, the telescopic boom offers stability and precision in tight spaces.

Agriculture – our plant hire service for farming and agriculture provides the best tools to help farm workers with a long and never-ending list of tasks on site. A telehandler helps to reduce the use of back-breaking manual labour to enhance and speed up necessary process in a safe and efficient manner.

Landscaping – landscaping and garden maintenance companies utilise telehandlers to help with the lifting and placement of trees and large shrubs, to transport heavy materials and other landscaping materials on and off site, and allows for safe working at height, especially when looking at tree care.

Warehouse and logistics – warehouses are tight, challenging indoor spaces with plenty of scope for working at height with heavy goods on a constant basis. Telehandlers (and especially telehandler attachment hire) helps to load, move, and stack pallets, unload and load trucks, and work at high levels safely.

We have plant hire clients in many different sectors.

Benefits of hiring telehandlers

Choosing between hiring a telehandler and purchasing one outright will come down to a few factors. Every single company will have its own unique situation, budget, projects, and targets. Some of the reasons you might choose to hire instead of buy a telehandler include:

Financial reasons – purchasing a telehandler outright requires a significant financial outlay. This might be out of reach for a small and growing company, and there will also be the on-going maintenance, insurance and other running costs to consider. Hiring a telehandler from a plant hire company provides greater financial breathing space, as you can pay for telehandlers as and when you need them, trying out different models or choosing for specific tasks.

Upkeep – buying a telehandler outright means that you own that telehandler and must store it during downtime away from projects. You’ll also be responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the machinery. This takes time and money to be as comprehensive as you need to be. With our telehandler hire service, you are not expected to take care of any maintenance or repairs.

Flexibility – do you want to be stuck with the same telehandler for years to come? By renting a telehandler from us, you have the flexibility to change models for each project and specific task list. This helps to vastly improve efficiency and productivity on site and to maximise your potential and savings. It is the ultimate versatility to choose the right tool for each specific job.

Expertise – renting any type of machinery and equipment from a plant hire specialist, such as Ardent Hire, provides you access to the expertise and specialist nature of the staff. We can help you plan ahead in detail, meeting project deadlines with clear delivery schedules and choosing the correct equipment types and models of machinery that match the tasks and projects that your company are working on.

For those businesses where telehandler hire can play a prominent role in everyday processes, it is important to find the right supplier. From lifting and moving heavy materials at height in warehouses, to lifting trees and vegetation in landscaping, and providing steady material handling on challenging construction site terrain, telehandlers offer flexibility, versatility, and a great means to push forward productively and efficiently within myriad industries.
