Tired of off-the-shelf telehandlers that don’t quite fit your needs? This mismatch costs you time and money. OEM telehandler customization gives you the power to build a machine perfectly suited to your specific jobs.
You can build the perfect OEM telehandler by customizing core specifications like lifting height (7-18m) and load capacity (3-6 tons). You also choose your engine, attachments, branding, and even operator comfort features to create a machine that is uniquely yours and optimized for performance.
It sounds great, but where do you start? The number of choices can feel overwhelming. With 15 years of exporting these machines from our factory in Taian, I’ve helped countless dealers and wholesalers navigate these options. Let’s walk through the process step-by-step so you can make the best decisions for your fleet and your customers. This is how you get a machine that works for you, not the other way around.
How Can You Tailor Core Performance to Your Job Site? Using a telehandler that’s too big or too small for the job? This inefficiency hurts your bottom line and can even be unsafe. We let you specify the exact power and reach you need from the very start.
Tailor performance by choosing a lifting height from 7m to 18m and a load capacity between 3 to 6 tons. Then, match it with the right engine—from brands like Cummins, Perkins, or Yanmar—to ensure you have the perfect balance of power, reach, and efficiency for your market.
When you build an OEM machine with us, you are in the driver’s seat. The first decisions are always about the machine’s fundamental purpose: how high does it need to reach, and how much does it need to lift? We don’t force you into a one-size-fits-all solution.
Matching Lift Height and Capacity Your project dictates the machine’s specs. For agricultural work, a customer might need a lower lift height but a robust 6-ton capacity for moving heavy bales or feed bags. In contrast, a multi-story construction project will demand a machine with an 18-meter reach, even if the loads are lighter. By customizing this balance, you get a machine that is efficient and cost-effective, without paying for capacity or reach you’ll never use.
Selecting the Right Engine The engine is the heart of your telehandler . The choice depends heavily on your target market and its regulations. I remember a dealer in Germany who needed to meet strict Euro V emission laws. We fitted his entire order with Perkins engines, which made all the difference for his market entry.
Here’s a simple breakdown of the engine options we offer:
Engine Brand Best For… Key Feature Yunnei / Yuchai Cost-sensitive markets Reliable performance and economical operation Cummins / Perkins European & North American markets Meets strict emission standards, global support Yanmar / Kohler Specialized or compact applications Known for compact power and excellent reliability
Choosing the right engine ensures your machine is not only powerful but also compliant and serviceable in its destination country.
How Do You Make the Telehandler Truly Yours? Does your equipment fleet look like a random collection of different machines? This creates a weak brand impression and can confuse customers. We help you build a cohesive, professional-looking fleet that stands out.
You make it yours by choosing custom colors—yellow, red, or any RAL code—and adding your own branding, including logos and product names. You also specify unique attachments like grapples, buckets, or work platforms to handle any job, making the machine truly multifunctional.
A machine’s performance is critical, but its appearance and functionality are what make it part of your brand. Your equipment is a moving billboard for your business. When it arrives on a job site, it should represent your company’s quality and professionalism. That’s why we offer extensive customization for branding and attachments.
Branding and Appearance We can paint your telehandlers in any color you need. While classic construction yellow is always popular, we’ve produced fleets in vibrant red, deep green, and specific corporate colors matched exactly to a client’s brand guide. We then apply your logo and product name, creating a machine that is unmistakably yours. This professional branding builds trust with your end-users and strengthens your market presence.
The Power of Attachments A telehandler forklift is only as useful as the tool on its boom. We offer a wide range of attachments to tackle virtually any task, turning one machine into a versatile workhorse.
Pallet Forks: The standard for any logistics or material handling. Buckets (Standard, Sieve, etc.): For moving loose materials like gravel, sand, or debris. Схватки & Bale Clamps: Essential for agriculture, forestry, and recycling operations. Aerial Work Platform: Safely transforms the telehandler into a man lift for maintenance or construction tasks. Snow Pusher: A must-have for customers in colder climates for clearing lots and roads. Winch: Adds lifting and pulling capabilities for recovery or unique placement jobs.
With our factory’s capacity of 1000 units per month, we can efficiently produce large, fully customized and branded orders equipped with the exact attachments your customers need.
How Can You Maximize Operator Comfort and Maneuverability? Are your operators complaining about long, uncomfortable days? Discomfort leads to fatigue, reduced focus, and lower productivity. We offer key upgrades that make the cabin a better and safer place to work.
Maximize comfort with options like air conditioning, fuel heaters for cold climates, and electric heated seats. Enhance maneuverability by choosing the right steering mode—front-wheel, four-wheel, or crab steer—and selecting tires (solid, pneumatic, or radial) that match your terrain perfectly.
A comfortable operator is a productive operator. The machine’s ability to navigate a job site with ease is just as important. That’s why we focus on customizing the operator experience, from the climate inside the cab to the way the machine moves on the ground.
Creating the Ideal Cabin Environment Working in extreme weather is tough. For customers in hot climates, a powerful air conditioning system is non-negotiable. For our partners in Northern Europe or Canada, a fuel heater that pre-warms the engine and cab is essential for winter operation. An electric heated seat is a low-cost upgrade that provides a huge boost in operator morale and focus on cold mornings. These small details show you care about the end-user.
Mastering Movement with Steering Modes The right steering mode can save massive amounts of time on a job site. We offer three modes to handle any situation.
Steering Mode Best Use Case Benefit Front-Wheel Road travel, driving between sites Stable and predictable, like driving a car Four-Wheel Tight construction sites, warehouses Dramatically reduces the turning radius Crab Steer Working alongside walls or obstacles Allows for precise diagonal movement
Choosing the Right Tires Tires connect your machine to the ground. The wrong choice can lead to downtime and poor performance.
Solid Tires: Ideal for scrap yards or demolition sites where punctures are a constant risk. They are maintenance-free. Pneumatic Tires: Offer the best ride comfort, absorbing bumps on rough, uneven terrain like a farm field. Tubeless Radial Tires: A great all-around choice, offering a good balance of durability, stability, and operator comfort.
What Drivetrain and Safety Systems Can You Customize? Worried about the reliability and safety of your machine’s core components? Standard systems might not be robust enough for your specific applications. We offer proven, high-quality options for the most critical systems.
You can customize the drivetrain with a reliable domestic hydraulic system or upgrade to a Danfoss closed-loop system for superior control. For safety, you can specify a ZF-type or our own high-quality Zhuoshibo wet brake axle for exceptional stopping power and low maintenance.
The unseen components are often the most important for long-term reliability and safety. The hydraulic system that drives the machine and the axles and brakes that stop it are critical. We provide options to ensure these systems are perfectly matched to your performance expectations and operational environment.
Travel Hydraulic System Options The travel hydraulic system is the heart of the drivetrain. We offer two main choices. Our standard domestic closed-loop hydrostatic system is incredibly reliable and cost-effective, making it a great choice for most general applications. For customers who demand the absolute smoothest and most precise control, we offer an upgrade to a Danfoss closed-loop system . I once worked with a rental company wholesaler in the United States who specified Danfoss for his entire fleet. He said the smooth control was a key selling point for his rental customers who had operators with varying skill levels.
Axles and Braking: The Foundation of Safety Stopping a multi-ton machine safely is paramount. That’s why we offer advanced wet brake axle systems. In a wet brake system , the braking components are sealed inside the axle housing, bathed in oil. This protects them from dirt, water, and debris, resulting in far less maintenance and incredibly consistent, reliable stopping power. We offer our own robust Zhuoshibo wet brake axle , an integrated system we trust and stand behind. For customers who prefer a globally recognized name, we can also fit a ZF-type wet brake axle . This flexibility ensures you get the safety and performance you trust.
OEM customization puts you in control. You get a telehandler built for your exact needs, boosting efficiency, safety, and your brand’s presence. Let’s start building your perfect machine today.
