Buy or hire the Loadall 540-140 if...
- you want one that is the bigger machine by 8,403kg
A high-reach telehandler for construction sites and larger farms that need to place material at height rather than move pallets around a yard. Lift capacity falls sharply as the boom extends, which is the number that actually governs what it can do.

Buy or hire the EZ26 if...
A step up for bigger footings, groundworks and landscaping. At 2.5 tonnes it needs a 3.5 tonne plant trailer and a tow vehicle rated for the combined weight, or delivery on a lorry. Maximum dig depth is 2,803 mm. Zero tail swing means the back of the machine stays inside the tracks when it slews, so it can work tight against a wall or in one lane of a road.
