Why Contractors Count on JM Development for Reliable Telehandler Rentals

On any construction site, the right equipment can make or break a project. Efficiency, safety, and precision matter when timelines are tight and workloads are heavy. Among the most versatile and in-demand pieces of equipment today is the telehandler—an agile, powerful machine that bridges the capabilities of a forklift and a crane. At JM Development, we understand how critical this tool is to the success of our clients, which is why we take pride in offering a full fleet of high-quality telehandler rentals backed by expert service, safety checks, and fast delivery.

Whether you’re a contractor handling commercial builds or a crew working on tight urban residential projects, the value of having access to reliable material handling equipment cannot be overstated. And in this blog, we’re breaking down exactly why telehandlers have become essential—and how JM Development is the go-to source for rental solutions in Santa Fe Springs and the greater Los Angeles area.

Why Telehandlers Are a Must-Have on Today’s Job Sites

1. Versatility in Action

Telehandlers, often referred to as telescopic handlers or boom lifts, combine the best features of a forklift, crane, and work platform. Their telescopic boom gives them a reach advantage that typical forklifts don’t offer, making them ideal for moving heavy materials to elevated areas, transporting pallets across uneven terrain, or placing items with precision in tight spots.

From moving roofing bundles to lifting rebar and steel frames into position, the tasks that telehandlers handle (pun intended) are as diverse as the contractors who rent them.

2. Height and Reach Without the Hassle

A major advantage of telehandlers is their reach. These machines are engineered to extend high and far, with many models reaching over 50 feet in height. For builders working on multi-story projects, this makes them indispensable. And unlike cranes, which often require complicated setups, permits, and space, telehandlers offer a more compact and flexible solution.

3. Terrain Mastery

Most job sites aren’t smooth, paved surfaces. With their 4-wheel drive and all-terrain capabilities, telehandlers are built to maneuver rough ground, making them perfect for construction environments where access can be limited or unpredictable. JM Development ensures every telehandler we rent out is jobsite-ready—fully inspected, fueled, and performance-checked.

4. Safety with Precision

Precision doesn’t just improve productivity—it also keeps workers safe. Telehandlers allow for exact placement of materials, reducing the need for manual handling and climbing, which in turn lowers the risk of workplace injuries. Our fleet includes telehandlers equipped with ergonomic controls and advanced safety features to ensure ease of use and compliance with OSHA standards.

The Case for Renting Over Buying

1. Cut Costs, Not Corners

Purchasing heavy equipment like telehandlers requires a huge upfront investment, not to mention ongoing costs like storage, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation. Renting from JM Development allows you to avoid those costs and redirect your capital toward labor, materials, or other essentials. You only pay for what you need—when you need it.

2. Access the Latest Models

When you rent, you’re not stuck with aging equipment. JM Development updates its rental fleet regularly to ensure contractors have access to modern, fuel-efficient, and operator-friendly machines. You can take advantage of new features and increased productivity without the commitment of ownership.

3. Flexible Terms for Real-World Projects

Not every job lasts six months. Some are a few weeks, some a few days. That’s why we offer daily, weekly, and monthly rental options—so you can match your telehandler needs to the exact timeline of your project. Need to extend your rental? No problem. Our team is flexible and always available to adjust to your schedule.

4. No Maintenance Headaches

Maintenance isn’t just costly—it’s time-consuming. With JM Development, you can rest easy knowing our equipment is maintained to manufacturer standards. We handle all servicing and inspections before every rental, so you’re never left troubleshooting in the middle of a busy workday.
