A small telehandler makes loading hay bales, moving feed bags, and lifting fruit bins simple. But many farm owners struggle with manual labor that takes hours, injuries from heavy lifting, and equipment that is too big for narrow orchard rows. A small telehandler solves these problems fast. It combines the functions of a forklift, loader, and crane in one compact machine. One person does the work of several workers. No more heavy lifting. No more slow manual handling.
YG Machinery offers the TS1035, TS1440, and TS1850 small telehandlers for farms, orchards, nurseries, and landscaping businesses.

Orchard work – Transport fruit bins from picking rows to packing shed. Move between fruit trees easily. The narrow width fits through standard orchard spacing.
Nursery operations – Lift potted trees and shrubs. Load trucks for delivery. Unload incoming inventory.
Landscaping projects – Move soil, mulch, and plants around job sites. Load debris into trucks.
Farm maintenance – Lift heavy equipment parts. Clean out animal pens with a bucket. Move pallets of supplies.
Haying season – Stack square or round bales. Load trailers for transport. Move bales from field to storage.
Fencing projects – Use the auger attachment to drill post holes. Set posts in place.
General material handling – Move pallets, bags, and containers around the farmyard.
One small telehandler serves all these farm and orchard tasks.
Customer Case: Orchard Owner Saves Labor Costs
Ms. Louis owns an orchard in Washington state, USA. Every year, she needs to move thousands of fruit bins from picking rows to the packing shed. She also moves seedlings, fertilizer bags, and picked fruits. Manual handling was slow and expensive.
She bought a small telehandler with a maximum lift height of 4 meters and a load capacity of 1.5 tons. The telehandler came with forks and a grab bucket.
The results:
- The machine moves freely between fruit trees
- One person now does what 4 workers did before
- Fruit bins move quickly from field to packing shed
- The grab bucket cleans debris from the orchard
- She saved over $15,000 in labor costs in the first season
Ms. Louis said: “This small telehandler is very suitable for use on the farm. It is small in size and highly maneuverable. It can move freely between fruit trees. Whether moving seedlings, fertilizers, or loading and unloading fruits, it is very easy and convenient. It used to take several people to complete a day’s work, but now it can be done by one person. The grab bucket attachment can also be used to clean up debris in the orchard. It is really practical!”
Small Telehandler vs Traditional Forklift
Understanding the difference helps buyers choose the correct equipment.
| Aspect | Small Telehandler | Traditional Forklift |
| Lifting direction | Vertical + forward | Vertical only |
| Reach over obstacles | Yes | No |
| Attachments available | 20+ types | Limited |
| Working on uneven ground | Yes (high ground clearance) | No (low chassis) |
| Maneuverability in orchards | Excellent (narrow width) | Poor |
| One machine replaces | Forklift + loader + crane | Only forklift |
| Ability to lift and place | High precision | Basic |
For farm and orchard work, a small telehandler gives you more flexibility. You take on more types of work with one machine.
