Telehandlers are among the most versatile pieces of equipment on modern job sites and are used for tasks like material handling, lifting loads, cleaning worksites, and removing snow. As new attachments are introduced, the scope of their use continues to grow. Thanks to their multifunctionality, telehandlers have become fixtures in industries ranging from agriculture to construction, and their broad utility makes them a popular item at rental houses. In fact, according to some manufacturers, anywhere from 70% to 90% of telehandlers are sold to the rental industry.
Rental fleet managers have found that solid tires are just as versatile as the telehandlers themselves. Solid tires prevent costly downtime, provide stability when lifting heavy loads, deliver traction when working on different types of surfaces—and they last and last.
