Modern jobsites require operators to lift heavy materials to hard-to-reach places, all while meeting tight timelines. Thompson Tractor stocks a full line of Cat telehandlers, from 5,500-pound compact models to massive 12,000-pound machines.

Choosing the Right Telehandler for Your Jobsite
Sizing your telehandler is essential to ensure safety, efficiency, and overall project success. Factors like capacity, reach, and machine stability are essential to find the right match. A good rule of thumb is selecting a model that can handle slightly more than your maximum expected load to ensure safer operations.
