Plant Hire News - The Latest Innovations in Telehandler Technology

Telehandler hire is one of our most popular services at Ardent. As a heavy plant hire company, we understand the importance telehandlers provide for the construction clients that we work with. We also understand how important it is for us to maintain a modern fleet of potential plant for our clients, investing in the latest models of machinery and equipment. Innovation is key to maintaining a drive and evolution in our industry and this is evident within the world of telehandlers in particular. 

The importance of innovation in telehandlers

Why is innovation important for telehandlers in the modern world? There are many different reasons why telehandlers are used in different industries. Here are a few different areas where innovation is pushing new boundaries for telehandler use:

1. Improved technology

New telehandler design utilises new technology to improve standards and specific efficiencies on construction sites, industrial settings and other industries. This is where we have seen the implementation of GPS and remote monitoring systems to help enhance the efficiency of telehandlers and offer precise movement on challenging sites where space is at a premium. Modern data collection and analysis from internal telehandler systems ensures that fleet management can be optimised and future use enhanced.

2. Lower carbon emissions

One of the biggest innovations in recent years has been the improvement in the technology around sustainability. Modern telehandlers focus on fuel-efficiency and design that helps to lower emissions overall. This helps to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a single machine but also overall sites and projects where the balance between operational costs and sustainability are key. 

3. Greater safety features

Better load retention, roll-over protective structures (ROPS) and engine lockout systems, are just a few of the ways in which telehandler design has evolved over the years. Improved load retention technology in particular helps for much safer and smoother movement on site, no matter what type of materials are being carried.

Staying ahead of the industry curve

It’s important to always be in the vanguard of any industry. Utilising the latest technological trends for telehandlers ensures that data is used in the best way to make informed decisions. For instance, the construction industry continues to evolve, and standards change, and this is where fleet management can evolve with it to reflect the needs of modern customers and meet sustainability and other industry-specific targets. In 2025 there has been a range of new models of telehandlers that offer greater lift capacity and power, as well as better comfort for operators, things that have been questioned in the past and addressed with innovation.
