How much does telehandler hire cost in Birmingham?

A week's hire starts from £692.30 ex VAT (£830.76 inc VAT), optional damage waiver included, for the 5m diesel telehandler. Delivery and collection to your Birmingham postcode is priced before you pay. Every machine page shows its own prices by hire length.

Do you have a depot in Birmingham?

No. Hire a Lift delivers nationwide, so we deliver to sites in Birmingham rather than running a local depot. Enter your site postcode on any machine page to see delivery and any area surcharge before you book.

Do I need a permit to use a telehandler on a road or pavement in Birmingham?

Usually, yes. If the machine will stand on the road or pavement, ask Birmingham City Council about a highway permit before your hire, and allow time for it to be granted. On private land, such as a yard, car park or inside a building, the landowner's permission is enough.

Will I get a particular make or model?

Each listing is a size and type of machine, described by working height, reach and power. The make supplied can vary, so check the machine details with us before your hire if a particular model matters. Call 0333 038 4946 with any questions.

Birmingham, postcode area B

Telehandler hire in Birmingham

Lift and place loads on site. A telehandler puts pallets onto scaffold, materials onto a roof and deliveries off a lorry, on rough ground where a forklift cannot go.

Birmingham mixes Victorian terraces and the listed brick workshops of the Jewellery Quarter with large distribution sheds near the motorway network. City centre schemes keep rising around the Bullring and Digbeth.

Typical Birmingham work: Unloading and placing pallets on housing and industrial sites across the city.

A telehandler is not a MEWP or a cherry picker. It is built to lift materials, not people, so IPAF cards do not cover it and it is not a substitute for an access platform.

Operators need a telehandler qualification, such as a CPCS or NPORS card for telescopic handlers. IPAF cards do not cover telehandlers, and a telehandler is never used to lift people.
