There’s no shortage of marketing buzz around “smart” machinery. But which telehandler technologies actually improve productivity on site?
Let’s cut through the noise and focus on innovations that deliver measurable return: faster cycles, fewer breakdowns, better operator performance, and smarter fleet decisions.
Telematics: Your Data-Driven Advantage
Telematics isn’t just for big fleets. Even single-machine operators can benefit from:
- Real-time usage tracking
- Preventative maintenance alerts
- Fuel burn monitoring
- Downtime diagnostics
This means fewer surprises, smarter servicing, and the ability to optimise machine deployment based on actual use.
Operator Assist Systems: Helping Humans Perform Better
Even skilled operators get tired, distracted or pushed by timelines. Technology can reduce error and fatigue:
- Load moment indicators (LMI): Warn when approaching capacity limits
- Boom position sensors: Improve placement accuracy
- Level assist and slope sensors: Reduce tip risk on uneven ground
- Integrated load charts: Ensure the right spec for the job is used in real time
It’s like having a built-in second set of eyes.
Fuel Efficiency: The Overlooked ROI Factor
Fuel costs stack up fast. Telehandlers with:
- Load-sensing hydraulics
- Smart engine calibration
- Efficient transmission matching
…can deliver significantly better cost per hour than older or low-grade models.
Over 1,000+ hours of operation, that adds up to real dollars.
Service-Friendly Design: Less Downtime, More Output
Technology that speeds up maintenance also boosts productivity:
- Easy-access filters and diagnostics
- Predictive service alerts via telematics
- Fewer steps for fluid checks and routine tasks
It keeps machines working — and techs out of the way.
How Dieci Embeds Productivity into Every Machine
Dieci telehandlers aren’t just built tough. They’re built smart, with real-world site efficiency in mind:
- Advanced operator assist and safety systems
- Telematics-ready across multiple models
- Fuel-saving drive and hydraulic integration
- Low-maintenance design for remote or high-use operations
Backed by a national support network to keep downtime low and uptime high.
