Harvest in Full Swing: How Telehandlers Help Farmers Through the Summer

       Late July is the busiest time of year for Slovak agriculture. Grain harvest is at its peak, thousands of straw and hay bales are being moved, and warehouses and silos are filling to capacity. In this rush, growers need equipment that can quickly load, transfer, and handle large volumes of material — and this is exactly where telescopic handlers show their strength.

What a telehandler can do during harvest:

• Loading and moving bales – with forks, it quickly loads and transports straw or hay directly from the field to storage.
• Handling bulk material – with a bucket attachment, it helps move grain or feed mixtures.
• Stacking at height – thanks to its extending boom, it can place loads on the upper levels of hay barns and outbuildings that a standard front loader can't reach.
• Greater reach – compared to a classic loader, it offers significantly greater reach in both height and distance, saving time on every pass.
• Quick attachment changes – forks, buckets, or pallet forks can be swapped on site depending on the task at hand.

       Alongside fieldwork, don't forget the upkeep of farm buildings — roofs of barns, warehouses, and silos often need inspection or minor repairs during summer, and articulated or telescopic work platforms are ideal for this.

       At mateco Slovakia, we offer a wide range of telehandlers and work platforms, ready to be deployed exactly when they're needed most — including during the season when every dry day counts. Thanks to our nationwide branch network and fast delivery, we can bring the right machine wherever it's needed.
