Across South America, construction contractors, mining companies, agricultural operators, equipment rental fleets, logistics yards, and infrastructure projects require reliable material-handling equipment for demanding working environments. From urban building sites in Peru and Chile to mining operations, agricultural yards, ports, and industrial facilities across the region, telehandlers provide an efficient solution for lifting, carrying, loading, and placing materials at height.
HAMAC offers a telehandler range from compact 2.5 ton models to heavy-duty 6 ton, high-reach machines. With lift heights from approximately 6 m to 17.6 m, the range helps customers match the right machine to their load weight, lifting height, terrain, working space, and attachment requirements.
South American projects often operate in conditions where ordinary warehouse forklifts are not sufficient. Construction sites may have gravel access roads, unfinished surfaces, narrow work zones, uneven ground, and the need to place materials on upper floors. Mining and quarry operations require reliable equipment for outdoor material movement, maintenance support, and component positioning. Agricultural and industrial customers need one versatile machine that can work with pallet forks, buckets, bale forks, crane jibs, and other compatible attachments.
HAMAC telehandlers are designed to support these diverse applications. Depending on the selected model, customers can choose compact machines for lower-height work, medium-reach telehandlers for general construction, or high-reach heavy-duty models for multi-storey buildings, steel structures, bridge projects, and industrial material handling.
The following table provides a practical guide to HAMAC telehandler applications. Final machine selection should always be confirmed according to the official specification sheet, rated load chart, attachment configuration, ground condition, and local safety requirements.

HAMAC is strengthening its presence in South America by offering equipment solutions that match the region's major application sectors: construction, mining, aggregates, agriculture, industrial material handling, and logistics. Rather than providing one standard machine for every customer, HAMAC supports buyers with model selection based on capacity, lift height, site terrain, working conditions, and application requirements.
The company’s position in the market is built around practical product coverage. Compact telehandlers support urban construction and farm operations; 10 m to 14 m models address mainstream construction and industrial projects; while 18 m and heavy-capacity telehandlers support high-rise, infrastructure, quarry, mining, and major material-placement tasks.
HAMAC’s increasing engagement with Latin American customers, including telehandler solutions for high-reach construction work and rough terrain forklift deliveries for outdoor material handling, reflects the company’s focus on long-term regional cooperation. Customers can work with HAMAC to select equipment, compatible attachments, spare parts support, and suitable solutions for local operating conditions.
The best telehandler is not always the largest machine. Customers should begin by identifying their maximum load weight, required lift height, forward reach, worksite terrain, available operating space, and attachment requirements. A compact telehandler may be the most efficient solution for low-rise work and farm logistics, while a 14 m or 18 m high-reach model may be necessary for multi-storey construction and infrastructure projects.
HAMAC can help customers compare telehandler models and recommend a suitable configuration for projects in Peru, Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Bolivia, and other South American markets.
