What Roto Telehandler Attachments Can I Get from Ardent Hire?

With 360° operation, roto telehandlers are one of the most versatile, multi-purpose machines on the modern site. Roto telehandlers can operate in the smallest of spaces, performing the largest range of tasks in all directions, without the need to waste time constantly moving and repositioning the whole machine.

Yet remarkably, this is just the beginning of the benefits of hiring a rotating telehandler from Ardent. As well as supplying cutting-edge machines from leading manufacturers like Merlo and Manitou, with 21m to 35m reach and up to 7tonnes lifting capacity, we can also provide a range of telehandler attachments to make your machine even more functional and versatile.

Maximise Site Efficiency with Rotating Telehandler Attachments

Roto telehandler attachments build on the all-round reach of your machine by adding all-round performance too. Not only is there no need to move the machine to cover a wide area, but there’s also no need to change the machine to undertake a wider range of tasks, from lifting, hooking and winching, to staff deployment at height.

Ardent’s range of roto telehandler attachments significantly cuts your plant hire costs because you only need one machine to do the work of a forklift, a crane, a MEWP and more.

Automatic attachment recognition

If you think that fiddling around fitting attachments and resetting your machine sounds like hard work, then think again. All our Ardent telehandler attachments can be fitted quickly and easily. What’s more, the machine does all the adjustments for you, thanks to the Manitou E-Reco automatic attachment recognition system. 

E-Reco uses RFID technology to instantly identify roto telehandler attachments. Instead of having to manually adjust your machine loads and safety limits to match the attachments, the system automatically calculates the new load charts and sets safe working limits to match the new configuration. 

This makes switching roto telehandler attachments quick, easy and safe, avoiding delays and increasing productivity, without ever compromising on safety.

Lift your work to a whole new level

The introduction of rotating telehandlers has revolutionised the on-site working environment, and with the right attachments, you can take your telehandler lifting to a whole new level, saving money and enhancing productivity on every job.

Forget constantly moving and repositioning your telehandler. Forget hiring cranes and MEWPs to lift different loads. With Ardent’s range of roto telehandlers and attachments, you can do it all, efficiently and effectively with just one machine.
