How much does telehandler hire cost in Leicester?

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 Leicester postcode is priced before you pay. Every machine page shows its own prices by hire length.

Do you have a depot in Leicester?

No. Hire a Lift delivers nationwide, so we deliver to sites in Leicester 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 Leicester?

Usually, yes. If the machine will stand on the road or pavement, ask Leicester 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.

Telehandler hire in Leicester

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.

Leicester has Victorian terraces and former hosiery and shoe factories, many now flats and workshops, around a busy city centre. Distribution sheds sit near the M1 and M69.

Typical Leicester work: Unloading and placing materials on housing and industrial sites.

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.
