Subject: Re: Telehandler vs forklift


Sunnyside, WA
We had a TH62 first then a JCB 540 next and both had their share of electrical issues. Telehandlers are meant to be used in construction or a low demand farming use, like loading a few hay bales on a truck, or an overgrown all terrain forklift. They are not meant for several thousand hours per year usage.

You wouldn't believe how happy hay truckers are to see that we got rid of our telehandlers. They say the biggest slow down for them unloading is the telehandler wouldn't work!

Cost usually gets to be the biggest hurdle for most to go with a payloader. But cost per hour of operation is so much lower. I couldn't afford either telehandler after they went off warranty.
