Liner giraffe telehandler

[Al Cormack]

This machine is for sale not too far from me. Thought it might be handy to keep the yard tidy and move trunks about.

 

 

Anyone know anything about them?

 

Cheers

No, but it looks ace! Can’t imagine it’d lift a lot at full extension

How much?

It is one of the very first telehandlers so very old.  I also operate an old telehandler but a Sanderson.  I am guessing it will all be old school mechanics not electronics which is good when it goes wrong.

 

What you need to think about is who will service and repair it.  And will it need a safety inspection.  

 

If if you are not really experienced with machines like this get someone who is to look at it with you.  Especially with 4 wheel drive lots of moving parts and hydraulics to maintain.

 

And yes a telehandler is great for shifting logs around.

Yes just my sort of machine, good all-round view compared with the JCB I used to drive. Is it a manual four speed and shuttle box like the dumpers? Wet discs?
