In an ever-changing world of work, it is essential to use professional and multifunctional solutions. Companies operating in sectors such as construction, agriculture, mining and emergencies need to invest in versatile means suitable for carrying out different tasks, with excellent results in productivity, operating time and costs.

Starting from this need, in recent years telehandlers have increasingly conquered construction sites, farms and companies operating in mining thanks to their versatility. If on the one hand the structural characteristics allow it to replace more than one vehicle within the company, on the other hand the many accessories that can be equipped allow you to have the right solution available at the right time. Let’s see how to make the most of the DIECI telehandlers, simplifying the work and raising performance.

THE ADVANTAGES OF TELEHANDLERS FOR FARMS

On a farm, telehandlers support the work cycle by transporting, lifting and placing large loads even within small spaces. This peculiarity makes them a perfect solution for the agricultural sector, replacing in an excellent way vehicles such as the tractor with front lift or wheel loaders.

In particular, the telehandler can:

• reach greater heights and distances, with a maximum height of 9.7 meters;
• load even large dumpers and impale round bales of 5 or 6 floors;
• Handle loads even in small maneuvering spaces.

The great strength of telehandlers for agriculture is precisely their versatility. These vehicles can in fact be equipped with various equipment such as power take-offs, forks with needles, pliers for bales, lifting hooks. Thanks to their versatility, telehandlers can be used for:

• Storage and distribution of cereals. Equipping the telehandler with the bucket for light materials facilitates the handling of cereals, wheat, barley, rye, corn, decreasing the work cycles thanks to the high load capacity. The ideal solution for this sector of application is Agri Pivot, the wheel loader with telescopic arm, today even safer, more comfortable and versatile;
• Breeding, where using the right accessory it is possible to intervene in different phases of livestock care. With the front bucket it is possible to feed the cattle and clean the barn, with the fork with needles move the hay bales and with the fork move heavy loads. An excellent example is that of poultry, where with a single telescopic it is possible to clean the chicken coops from the manure, store it and reuse it as fertilizer;
• Horticulture and nurseries. Here the telehandlers support the collection, storage and handling of vegetables and heavy loads such as pots, fertilizers and plants, thanks to the use of accessories such as lifting hooks, pliers and excavation shovels;
• Other application sectors, such as biogas production and haymaking.

In addition to this, telehandlers can be used for the maintenance of the other vehicles and structures that make up the farm, such as stables, silos and areas intended for the storage of material. Starting from the needs of these application sectors and the needs of companies that deal with polyculture, where it is necessary to have a vehicle with different applications available, DIECI has renewed its Agri Revolution line, offering increasingly versatile, safe and comfortable solutions for operators.

THE VERSATILITY OF TELEHANDLERS IN CONSTRUCTION

Resistance, performance, speed, safety and versatility are the characteristics that make telehandlers powerful and efficient vehicles on construction sites. Their versatility allows these machines to adapt to any context, offering maximum results even in atypical environments such as cramped areas, low temperatures or rough terrain.

Within the construction industry, telehandlers are mainly used to move and lift materials and/or people, due to their high load capacity. Moreover, also in this case the accessories that can be equipped make these vehicles extremely versatile, allowing them to replace:

• forklifts, offering additional benefits such as achieving greater distances, greater visibility and use even on uneven terrain;
• aerial platforms (MEWP), thanks to the people basket that offers greater stability and capacity of capacity, reaching 6 meters from the ground;
• crane, using the lifting hook or winch, and the bucket for material handling.

The main sectors of use in the field of construction are:

• Construction work, such as new buildings and roofing;
• Restructuring, restoration and conservative rehabilitation, generally in areas with difficult access for heavy vehicles but easily accessible by telehandlers;
• The assembly of large structures and the construction of plants, such as fields with wind turbines or temporary structures;
• Logistics, ports and airports, also thanks to the silence of the vehicles and their ease of use.

Construction telehandlers can be fixed or rotary, such as the new Pegasus range, which meets every need, focusing on efficiency, performance, safety, comfort, technology and innovation.

WHY USE A TELEHANDLER IN MINING

The great versatility and resistance of DIECI telehandlers make it possible to make the most of them even in particularly hostile sectors such as mining. Here, these vehicles are used for maintenance operations of other machinery, for the preparation of the mines themselves, for the assembly of conveyor belts or the installation of electrical systems and ventilation.

To further support the sector, simplifying the use of telehandlers between quarries, open-cast mines and tunnels, DIECI has designed a series of specific equipment, such as:

• The calipers for cylinders, ideal for handling various types of cylinders in the maintenance of large vehicles;
• Tyre calipers, suitable for work on large tires;
• The posacentine pliers, designed specifically to position the ribs that will build the arches supporting the tunnel;
• Pipe pliers, ideal for handling pipes of different length and section;
• The people baskets capable of satisfying every need, such as the front basket, the removable basket, the basket with trilateral hydraulic rotation, the basket with positive-negative arm. In addition, a basket with roof is available to operate safely insidetunnels and tunnels.

USING TELEHANDLERS IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS

Thanks to their versatility and power, telehandlers are also used in the emergency sector. Army and civil protection choose to rely on these machines precisely because of their ability to customize that allows them to be equipped with special equipment, quickly becoming the ideal vehicle for any emergency situation.

DIECI telehandlers can be used:

• in the event of earthquakes, for the removal of rubble and for the maintenance of electricity poles;
• in major disasters such as that of the Morandi Bridge, where the telehandler was equipped with a water cannon mounted on the boom;
• by firefighters, using, for example, the people-saving basket. In this case, the cab equipped with a ventilation system also plays an essential role, which allows the operator to work in total safety.;
• from the army, to move armaments, fuel, food, operating in a very short time and facilitating the achievement of objectives in total safety.

Thanks to the great attention to customers, DIECI is able to propose concrete answers to the needs of use of the most important sectors, with customized solutions, robust and performing vehicles, focusing on technology, innovation and experience.
