Overview

Heavy capacity telehandlers do work that a standard telehandler cannot: mine truck tyre changes, ground engaging tool swaps, port and yard handling, and heavy industrial placement. Maverick builds three. The MVT7010 lifts 6,500 kg to 9.6 m. The MVHT13510 lifts 13,500 kg. The MVHT16010 lifts 16,000 kg (35,275 lb) — the flagship, and among the highest rated capacities offered on any telehandler chassis.

Questions

What is the highest capacity telehandler available?

The Maverick MVHT16010 lifts 16,000 kg (35,275 lb) to 9.6 m — among the highest rated capacities offered on any telehandler chassis. Below it, the MVHT13510 lifts 13,500 kg (29,765 lb), and the MVT7010 lifts 6,500 kg (14,330 lb). All three run Cummins power and hydrostatic 4x4 drive.

What is a heavy capacity telehandler used for?

Work a standard telehandler cannot take on: changing mine truck tyres, swapping ground engaging tools on excavators and shovels, port and yard container handling, heavy steel and precast placement, and industrial machinery installation. The capacity is the point — reach is secondary, which is why the MVHT range trades lift height for load.

What is the difference between the MVT7010 and the MVHT13510?

Capacity and mass. The MVT7010 lifts 6,500 kg at 11,750 kg operating weight — light enough to move between sites easily, with 5.4 m forward reach. The MVHT13510 lifts 13,500 kg at 20,575 kg operating weight and is a dedicated heavy machine. Both reach 9.6 m. Choose the MVT7010 for mixed-duty work, the MVHT for pure heavy lift.

Can a heavy capacity telehandler replace a small crane?

For many placement tasks it can, and it can drive itself to the next one. A 16,000 kg telehandler with a lifting hook (MV040101) covers a large share of what a small yard crane does, with far less setup. It will not replace a crane for long-radius or high-lift work — that is where the rotating MVRT range at 34.7 m becomes the answer.
