Your Telehandler Is Only as Useful as the Attachment You Put on It
Telehandlers are the backbone of material handling on construction, agricultural, and industrial jobsites. But without the right attachment, your machine is only doing a fraction of what it's capable of. By upgrading or choosing the correct telehandler attachment, you improve lift efficiency, jobsite safety, and overall project productivity.
At TMSEquip, we supply a complete lineup of telehandler attachments engineered for durability, compatibility, and performance with major telehandler brands including JLG, SkyTrak, Genie, Lull, CAT, Manitou, and Gehl.
Most Popular Telehandler Attachments (and When to Use Them)
1. Pallet Forks
Pallet forks are the most essential attachment for contractors moving lumber, palletized goods, building materials, or jobsite supplies. TMS pallet forks are available in a variety of capacities, giving you the strength needed for heavy-duty lift cycles.
2. Material Buckets
For loose material handling—sand, gravel, dirt, or demolition debris—nothing beats a telehandler bucket. TMS buckets are built with reinforced edges, heavy-duty welds, and optimized geometry for strong loading performance.
3. Truss Booms
Truss booms are essential for framing and roofing contractors who need precision placement of trusses, beams, joists, or long materials. These attachments extend reach and improve control, helping crews work safely at height.
4. Work Platforms & Man Baskets
Turn your telehandler into a stable aerial lift with an OSHA-compliant work platform. These are ideal for inspections, overhead repairs, lighting installs, and maintenance tasks.
5. Specialty Attachments
TMSEquip also carries job-specific tools like jib booms, pipe grapples, trash hoppers, tilt carriages, and more—helping you complete specialized tasks safely and efficiently.
