How to Choose a Telehandler Attachment

What is a telehandler attachment?

A telehandler attachment is a tool that mounts to the boom or carriage of a telehandler, replacing the standard forks with a task-specific implement — a bucket, hook, or grapple — so the machine can screen, scoop, lift, or demolish instead of only palletizing loads.

Bucket or hook — which attachment fits the job?

Choose a bucket (skeleton, slab, or heavy-duty) when you're moving loose material, screening debris, or breaking up concrete slabs. Choose a lift hook when the job calls for rigging, chain work, or suspended loads rated for a specific working limit, like the 6,000 lb hook listed here.

Does the attachment match my telehandler's rated capacity?

Check the attachment's own load rating against your telehandler's lift capacity at full boom extension, not just at ground level — capacity drops as reach increases. Confirm the coupler style matches your carriage before ordering, and call +1 (307) 441-5529 if you need help cross-referencing the two.
