    Telehandlers are not cranes or forklifts, but are designed for freely suspended loads using a telescopic boom with attachments like forks. They have stabilizers and an oscillating rear axle. Telehandlers are tested to operate safely on slopes and their lifting capacity ranges from around 2.5 to 40 tons. Relevant design standards include AS1418.19. Telehandlers require a physical test but not design registration in most cases. They must only use approved attachments and provide load charts for safe operation.

    A Practical Overview

    • Not a fork lift – but it has a Telescopic Boom fitted usually with forks
    • Not a mobile crane – but designed for freely suspended loads

    • Can be Rough terrain or Industrial


    • Has a telescopic boom that can be lifted or lowered, extended, retracted.
    • Can have stabilisers
    • Primary attachment is fork arms
    • Can have many other attachments (Jib, Winch, Bucket, Work Platform,
    tyre/cylinder handler etc.)
    • Can have chassis lateral levelling
    • Rear axle oscillating (floats)

    –
    Definition from AS1418.19 “A mobile, rider-mounted, self-propelled counterbalanced
    lifting device with a telescopic boom whose lifting is primarily achieved by luffing and
    telescoping of the boom. Note: Telehandlers are usually fitted with fork tynes as the
    standard lifting device but may be fitted with a variety of attachments, including ones
    incorporating hoisting mechanisms.”

     NO PHYSICAL TEST REQUIRED  PHYSICAL TEST REQUIRED


    (calculations ok) • Tested to operate on a side / forward slope up to
    8.75% (5 degrees)
    • A Crane shall be tested with the chassis • Lateral stability tests conducted on 12% side
    levelled (±0.5% tolerance). slope (T3 rough terrain)
    • There is currently no pick & carry test • Test loads for telehandlers calculated using
    required for mobile cranes in AS1418.5 – – 1.33 times the Maximum rated capacity (75%
    tipping load) for pick & place and pick & carry for
    2013 (EN13000 fixed loads
    & ISO4310) – 1.5 times the Maximum rated capacity (66.7%

    • WHS regulations do not list mandatory standards
    – You must eliminate, control or reduce the risk as far as reasonably practicable

    • Design Registration
    – No design registration required except:
    – when maximum rated capacity is greater than 10 tonnes regardless of load
    being fixed or freely suspended.
    – or when Man Platform fitted. Designed registered as EWP (design verified
    against AS1418.10).
