A Genie rough-terrain telehandler — a 6,000 lb reach forklift on a full-time 4×4 frame that levels itself on a slope. Place trusses, land material on a roof, and run pallets across a muddy site, all from one machine. Clean iron, fair rates, and someone who answers the phone. Daily, weekly, or monthly, delivered anywhere in Southside Virginia.
A telehandler is the machine that does what a forklift can't. The boom telescopes out and up, so instead of stacking a load right at the wheels you carry it over a wall, onto a roof, or across a trench and set it down exactly where the crew needs it. Our telehandler rental puts a 6,000 lb Genie reach forklift on your site — full-time 4×4 on lugged tires, with frame leveling that keeps the forks flat when the ground isn't.
That combination is why framing crews, masons, and roofers reach for one. It moves pallets like a forklift, flies trusses like a small crane, and never gets stuck in the mud the way a warehouse machine would. The machine leaves the yard fueled, greased, and ready, and if it's your first time running one we'll walk you through the steer modes and the load chart before you pull out.
Not sure a telehandler is the right call, or which spec fits your dates? Skip to the choosing guide below, or just call the yard and tell us what you're lifting and how high. We'll sort it.
Real specs, real machines on our yard — serviced and job-ready between every rental. Call for a quote by machine, duration, and zip.
Just need to put a person up in the air? See boom lifts and scissor lifts.
Land shingle bundles, plywood, and decking right on a second-floor deck or up at the eave. The reach sets the load where the crew is, not in the yard below it.
Fly bundled trusses up onto the top plate with the truss boom. One operator stages a whole roof system without a crane call-out or a line of guys passing them up.
Lift cubes of block and brick up to the scaffold and keep the masons supplied. Crab mode eases the pallet in tight to the wall without re-spotting the machine.
Full-time 4×4 on lugged tires goes where a warehouse forklift would bury itself. Frame leveling keeps the forks flat across a soft, graded, un-paved lot.
Unload the delivery truck, shuttle pallets across the site, and stage them where they're needed. It does everyday forklift duty and then some.
Set framing lumber, LVLs, and sheathing at working height as the walls go up — fewer hand-carries, a faster frame, and a crew that isn't worn out by noon.
A few things decide which telehandler fits: how heavy and how high the load goes, how tight the site is, and what you're picking up. Here's the quick read.
Start with the heaviest load and the height it has to land at. Our Genie is rated 6,000 lb to roughly 19 ft, but capacity tapers as the boom extends out and up — give us the worst-case lift and we'll confirm you're inside the load chart.
Three steer modes earn their keep on a cramped lot: 2-wheel for travel, circle (4-wheel) steer to swing around inside a foundation, and crab mode to slide the whole machine sideways up to a wall without re-spotting.
If you're working a cross-slope or a rutted, freshly graded lot, frame leveling tilts the chassis so the forks and load stay flat. On 4×4 it claws through mud that stops a warehouse machine cold.
Standard carriage forks for pallets, a truss (lift) boom for flying bundles up onto a wall, and a bucket for moving gravel or spoil. Our rotating material-handling fleet — Lulls and forklifts — varies by season, so call to confirm spec for your dates.
Flat-rate rentals with a full tank and fresh greasing — the longer you keep it, the lower the per-day works out. Tell us the machine and how long you need it and we'll quote it on the spot.
We pick up and deliver telehandlers throughout Southside Virginia — Halifax, Mecklenburg, Pittsylvania, Charlotte, and Brunswick counties, including South Boston, Danville, Chase City, South Hill, Clarksville, Chatham, and Lawrenceville. These run heavy, so most crews have us deliver rather than haul them. Delivery is a flat fee by zip with no surprise mileage charges. See the service-area map or call for your delivery rate.
