Telehandlers and aerial work platforms (AWPs) have long been staples of the construction industry, favored by contrac- tors for their safety and efÞ ciency when working at height. As the equipment evolves, these machines are becoming more versatile and moving into other industries, including the marine market. Telehandlers allow for ß exibility in han- dling goods and materials, particularly in shipyards and shipyard warehouses, fabrication facilities and workshops, and AWPs provide a safe, ef Þ cient way to work at height in these same settings.Telehandlers are material handling ve- hicles with telescoping booms that allow them to deliver materials to heights of 65 ft. or more.
