Telehandler Parts Guide — Every Component on a Modern Telehandler

Telehandlers — also called telescopic handlers, tele-loaders or boom forklifts — are some of the most heavily-worked machines on UK construction, agricultural and industrial sites. This guide lists every major component class found on a modern telehandler, so you can identify exactly what you need before placing an order. Whether you are running a JCB Loadall, a Manitou MLT, a Merlo Panoramic, a Caterpillar TH or a New Holland LM, the same component categories apply.

We currently list the most common items online — and everything else is available if you contact the office on 01255 323202 with your machine make, model and serial number.
