I've never heard of them either. I did find some info on them though.

Seven models of FH telehandlers are now available from Haulotte US, Hanover, Md., to the North American market. In an agreement the French manufacturer made last year with German company Faresin, Haulotte initially planned to distribute the telehandlers in Europe. From Liftandaccess.com (http://www.liftandaccess.com/360/V2I7/)

And here is the company that manufactures them for North America, Haulotte.com (http://www.haulotte.com/nacels-EN.htm).

Thank you guys for the quick responses. After reading up on them, I thought they were made in Italy but the info leads me to believe they are made in Germany. Guess I will find out for sure when we go to the show in Bauma at the end of April.

Hello everybody!

I would like to introduce myself as the communication and marketing manager of Faresin Industries, the company that produces and distributes Faresin Handlers machines.

I found this thread and I thoght, why not to register and maybe answering or asking some questions about telehandlers?! :drinkup

About my company, we're located in Italy, 2 hours by car from Venice. All the production's steps are made here in our italian plants.
We have a complete range of telehandlers, both for construction and agriculture.

Since 2002 we had a partnership with Haulotte but from 2006 mr Faresin re-acquierd all the shares of Faresin Haulotte and then started on his own with Faresin Handlers.

I wrote someone of you where from Australia. You could find our machine from NTP Forklift in the South Wales area: http://www.ntpforklifts.com.au/nsw_comp_prof.html and maybe some machines from BT Equipment.

So, if you have any questions or curiosity, don't hesitate to ask!

Cheers to everyone from Italy!

:woohoo

It could be a great machine but parts availability and resale down the road may not be good. With other more common makes they have tons of machines in this country salavage parts are always around and many dealers and parts. I have some Lulls from 85 and parts and salvage are still plentiful.

From looking breifly I haven't seen any load charts or good pictures of this machine. That would help sales too.. I may have missed that in my brief search.

@Squizzy246B: Thank you for welcome and do not worry. I'm not used to advertise my company on the forums. I wrote that presentations just to clear my position in order to avoid future possible misunderstanding. I will put my website in signature.
By the way, I would be glad to partecipate and to give my two cents about my experience with telehandlers machine.

@Speedpup: Thank you for reply. Yes, for the moment you could find any load chart on the web site, but if you want to know more, you could easily download the catalogue where you could find chart, dimensions, accessories, news about after sales service and any other detailed information.
