3 Tonne telehandler with 8.7m lift height Hire FAQs
What is the Dieci Dedalus 3T 8.7m telehandler used for?
The Dieci Dedalus 30.9 is a 3-tonne telehandler designed for construction, civil, infrastructure and industrial applications where materials need to be lifted to greater heights or positioned further from the machine. It has a maximum lifting capacity of 3,000 kg, a lift height of 8.7 metres and a horizontal reach of 5.8 metres. Its rough-terrain capability also makes it suitable for demanding outdoor worksites where conventional forklifts may not be appropriate.
Why hire the 8.7m Dedalus instead of the 6.35m version?
The main reason is reach. Both Dedalus models have a 3,000 kg maximum lifting capacity, but the 30.9 can lift to 8.7 metres compared with 6.35 metres for the 30.7. It also provides 5.8 metres of horizontal reach compared with 3.7 metres. The 30.9 is therefore better suited to projects where materials need to be placed higher or further away from the machine, while the 6.35m model can be a more practical choice when that additional reach isn’t required.
What types of jobs benefit from the Dedalus 30.9's 8.7m reach?
The additional reach can be particularly useful on construction and infrastructure projects where materials need to be placed on upper levels, over obstacles or further into a structure. Applications can include moving building materials on multi-storey projects, loading and unloading materials, positioning equipment and handling loads where the machine cannot be positioned directly beside the final placement point. The 5.8m horizontal reach provides considerably more positioning flexibility than a shorter-boom telehandler.
Is the Dedalus 30.9 still suitable for sites with limited space?
Despite its longer boom, the Dedalus 30.9 remains a relatively compact 3-tonne telehandler, measuring approximately 2 metres wide and 2.2 metres high when stowed. Its compact dimensions can make it useful on construction sites where access is restricted but additional lifting height is still required. However, the longer-boom configuration and larger operating envelope should be considered when assessing the available space on the site.
Is the 8.7m Dedalus better than the 6.35m Dedalus?
The two machines are suited to different lifting requirements rather than one being universally better. The Dedalus 30.9 is the appropriate choice when the job requires up to 8.7 metres of lift height or 5.8 metres of horizontal reach. If the required lift height is comfortably within 6.35 metres and the additional reach isn’t needed, the shorter-boom Dedalus 30.7 may be a more suitable option. Selecting the machine based on the actual height, reach and load requirements can help avoid hiring a larger-capability machine than the job requires.
