FAQs
How do you drive a telehandler?

Telehandler operation is unique compared to other types of forklifts because you must be aware of the boom arm's angle and level. In-cab operation may be more like ride-on earthmoving equipment like skid steers and backhoes, but knowing the center of gravity is crucial for safe operation. Refer to the manufacturer's instruction manual for specific information about controls on the dashboard. Whatever the worksite has in store, get certified in operating rough terrain forklifts through United Academy.

How long does a telehandler license last?

Telehandler operation certification can last up to three years. Generally, it depends on the reach forklift model you are licensed to operate. This certification is issued by reach forklift manufacturers, distributors and dealers. It can also be issued through independent training schools that have been approved by companies that supply reach forklifts. Explore telehandler training opportunities at United Academy.

Can telehandlers be driven on the road?

Generally, telehandlers should be transported to your worksite by truck. If they are to be driven on the road, telehandlers must be registered and licensed as agricultural vehicles and must comply with state and federal regulations.
