Competition is ramping up in the compact telehandler market, with Weidemann the latest to unveil a machine that will slot through a 2m-square alley.

The new 6m/2.5t T6025 supersedes the outgoing T5522 and T6026 and brings significantly more poke, with output of the Stage 5 Perkins four-cylinder up from 61hp to 75hp.

Top speed has also risen – was 30kph, now 35kph – though there’s no change as far as the workings of the two-speed hydrostatic transmission is concerned.
