Condition

Every machine offered by NLEQ is carefully tested and inspected before it’s listed. This Ingersoll Rand VR843C Telehandler has been evaluated for operational readiness across core systems, including engine performance, drive functionality, hydraulics, boom operation, steering and braking, and safety functions. The 4,378-hour reading reflects a machine that has been used, not abused, and aligns well with a well-maintained 2003 unit. The heated cab enhances operator comfort in colder climates, while the foam filled tires reduce downtime from punctures. The result is a dependable, job-ready telehandler prepared to go to work immediately in a variety of applications.

Advantages

• Diesel power: A diesel engine provides the torque and fuel efficiency needed for lifting heavy loads, transporting materials across uneven terrain, and running hydraulic functions smoothly throughout the day. Diesel is favored in telehandlers for its longevity and dependable performance under load, which translates to fewer interruptions and strong productivity on site.
• Heated cab: A heated operator environment is a clear advantage for crews working in fall, winter, and early spring. Heat reduces fogging, improves operator alertness, and keeps productivity high when temperatures drop. It’s an essential comfort feature that supports safety and steady output across longer shifts.
• Foam filled tires: Foam filling dramatically reduces the risk of flats and slow leaks, a critical factor on debris-laden construction, demolition, industrial, or utility jobsites. With foam filled tires, you minimize tire-related downtime and service calls, keeping schedules on track and labor productive.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive improves performance on mud, gravel, and uneven terrain. It provides better control when maneuvering with a load and helps maintain stability approaching, placing, or retrieving materials around the site—especially useful where ground conditions change through the day.
• 8000 capacity: The 8,000 class capacity hits a sweet spot for general construction, framing packages, masonry pallets, mechanical/electrical loads, and light industrial handling. It’s substantial enough to handle common building materials while remaining nimble for tight sites.
• 43 lift height: A 43 class reach allows you to position materials to elevated work areas, balconies, decks, scaffold levels, and roof edges. This makes it an ideal tool for staging large quantities of supplies and reducing manual handling at height.

Applications

• General contracting: Move and stage lumber, trusses, sheathing, and roofing bundles with the capacity and reach to keep crews supplied where they need it. Speed up framing and finishing with efficient material placement.
• Masonry and concrete: Lift block, brick, and mortar pallets to scaffold height, reduce manual lifts, and improve workflow for masons and finishers. Foam filled tires help keep the machine available even on debris-heavy sites.
• Steel and prefab: Handle beams, joists, light structural members, and prefab components with precise placement assistance, reducing crane demand for smaller lifts and short-duration tasks.
• Mechanical and electrical: Hoist HVAC units, duct runs, conduit bundles, and switchgear pallets into position, supporting installation schedules and minimizing idle time for trade crews.
• Industrial facilities: Support plant maintenance with the ability to move heavy parts, tooling, and supplies around yards and buildings. The 4WD system lets you traverse less-than-ideal surfaces confidently.
• Infrastructure and utilities: Place shoring, pipe, and materials along rights-of-way or uneven ground. Diesel power, traction, and foam filled tires ensure reliability even in variable conditions.
• Rental fleets: The VR843C’s straightforward design and in-demand capacity/reach combination make it a fleet staple, with broad appeal to contractors who need a robust, easy-to-operate telehandler.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Ingersoll Rand VR843C Telehandler offers compelling total cost of ownership advantages. You get 8,000-class lifting performance and 43-class reach without the immediate depreciation hit of a new machine. Diesel efficiency supports long days on the job with fewer fuel stops, and 4WD traction reduces the risk of getting stuck or losing time in marginal ground conditions. Foam filled tires lower unscheduled downtime and service costs from punctures, while a heated cab helps maintain year-round productivity. Ingersoll Rand’s reputation for ruggedness and straightforward serviceability means you can maintain this telehandler with standard tools and widely available parts. For owners operating on multiple sites or supporting crews in different trades, this machine’s versatility allows one asset to cover a wide range of tasks, maximizing utilization and ROI. The price point at $34,500 strengthens your investment case—delivering industrial-grade capability at a fraction of the cost of new, and positioning you to bid and execute work competitively.

Why this VR843C

The Ingersoll Rand VR843C is a well-regarded member of the telehandler class because it strikes a balance: strong capacity for everyday construction loads, meaningful reach for elevated placement, and the site-ready essentials that keep projects moving. This unit’s 4WD system supports confident travel on challenging surfaces, while diesel power provides the muscle to lift, place, and repeat throughout long workdays. The heated cab adds comfort that translates into sustained productivity, and foam filled tires minimize disruptions from nail- and debris-prone environments. The 4,378-hour reading is very workable for a 2003 telehandler and suggests plenty of useful life ahead when maintained on schedule. If you’re looking to add a reliable material handler to your fleet—or replace an older unit with one that’s tested, inspected, and priced right—this VR843C is a practical, value-forward choice.
