Kennards Lift and Shift, a specialist division of Kennards Hire, has acquired new telehandlers from Dieci to add to its rapidly expanding hire fleet.

The telehandlers are only 1,800mm wide and 1,910mm high, allowing access in very tight spaces. They extend to 3.25m and have a lifting height of 5.78m.

Features include a 2,500kg lifting capacity, three modes of steering and full air conditioning.

The telehandlers have a specially designed load management system for increased safety, and a bucket or crane jib can be fitted for difficult material handling projects.

No special certificate is required to operate the machine.

"We were getting a lot of calls from customers in need of rough-terrain forklifts, and as this is a similar but far more versatile machine, we decided to speak to Dieci," says Allen Besseling of Kennards Lift and Shift.

The company has already begun hiring out the machine to customers for various projects.

The company specialises in providing lifting solutions for its customers and hiring out top quality, innovative equipment, with a wide product range suitable for all types of materials handling and rigging equipment from conveyors to jacks.
