In 2024, the large telehandlers segment was valued at USD 3 billion and is expected to reach USD 5.8 billion by 2034. These machines are critical for lifting heavy loads in the construction, mining, and industrial sectors. With lifting capacities exceeding five tons and reaching heights of up to 14 meters, large telehandlers are essential assets for major infrastructure projects, particularly across Western Europe. Simultaneously, the compact telehandler segment is seeing notable growth, fueled by the surge in urbanization and a spike in renovation projects. Compact telehandlers, offering superior maneuverability and operational versatility, are perfectly suited for tight urban construction sites and smaller-scale projects.
When it comes to power types, the Europe telehandler market is segmented into electric and engine-powered models. In 2024, engine-powered telehandlers dominated the market with an 87% share. These machines remain the preferred choice for demanding, long-hour applications without the need for frequent charging, especially in expansive agricultural fields and large construction sites. However, as environmental awareness strengthens and new urban emission norms tighten, electric telehandlers are rapidly capturing market share. With zero emissions and quieter operations, they are ideal for indoor applications and urban construction environments.
Germany held a commanding 40% share of the Europe telehandler market in 2024, supported by strong infrastructure growth across transportation, energy, and urban expansion sectors. Rising demand for heavy-duty construction machinery has made telehandlers indispensable in large-scale projects. Germany’s role as a key manufacturing and export hub for global OEMs has further boosted market performance. Leading manufacturers’ local presence has enhanced domestic production capabilities while reinforcing Germany’s position in the European construction equipment market.
Major players in the Europe telehandler market include Caterpillar, JCB, Merlo, Liebherr, Bobcat, CNH Industrial, Ausa, Dieci, Manitou, and Wacker Neuson.
