The construction industry is entering an exciting new era of cleaner, quieter, and more efficient machinery. Among the most impressive innovations in this space is the electric telehandler, designed to deliver the same power and versatility as traditional diesel models, but with the added advantages of zero emissions and reduced operating noise.
With technology advancing rapidly, electric-powered plant is no longer just a glimpse of the future – it’s here, and it’s transforming the way we work on site.

How Electric Machines Are Changing Construction
Electric machinery is steadily reshaping the landscape of construction and plant hire. As the industry faces growing pressure to improve sustainability and meet stricter emissions regulations, electric-powered plant equipment has become an increasingly attractive option.
An electric telehandler offers a number of benefits that go beyond environmental performance:
Zero emissions at point of use, making it ideal for enclosed or low-emission zones
Quieter operation, perfect for urban, residential, or night-time work
Lower running and maintenance costs, thanks to fewer moving parts
Instant torque and smooth control, improving precision and operator comfort
This new generation of equipment is helping sites achieve greater efficiency while aligning with modern sustainability goals.
