AUCTION INSIGHT
As late fall work wraps up, telehandlers continue to prove their worth as versatile lifting and loading machines. At Catalyst Communications, Hot Line Farm and Antique Monthly Update track auction trends to help buyers make informed, timely equipment decisions.
Developed in the late 1970s, telehandlers bridged the gap between forklifts and loaders. Telehandlers successfully combined reach, power, and maneuverability into a single machine. Modern designs include four-wheel steering, hydraulic quick couplers, and highcapacity booms that make them indispensable for agriculture, construction, and materialhandling operations.
Here is a quick look at recent sales that show what the current US market is like:
• JCB 520-40 4WS: a model made in 2008 sold for $ 16,250.
• JLG G5-18A: traded between $ 23,750 and $ 27,000 for units manufactured in 2016 and 2017.
• Genie GTH-5519: known for its compact size averaged around $ 26,000 for models with moderate hours.
• Caterpillar TH255C: brought between $ 30,000 and $ 40,000 depending on year and hours.
• Bobcat V723FL CAB VersaHANDLER: traded at $ 41,250 for a 2019 model.
These results show consistent buyer demand for late-model telehandlers with low hours. Get the Hot Line Farm and Antique Equipment Guide monthly update in your inbox each month.
