Faresin debuts FS6.26 compact telehandler at Bauma 2025

07 Apr 2025 CW Team

Faresin Industries unveiled the FS6.26 telehandler at Bauma, positioning it as the most compact and agile model in its range. Dubbed “The Mason’s Helper,” the FS6.26 replaces the successful FR6.26, which saw over 2,000 units deployed globally.

Designed for confined and off-road environments, the FS6.26 stands out with a maximum height under 2,000 mm, width of 1,920 mm, and a turning radius of 3,250 mm—making it ideal for municipal applications, rental fleets, and bulk material handling.

This model introduces a host of innovations, including smoother engine compartment lines that enhance visibility and multilayer composite materials that reduce noise. It also features a new electronically controlled, stepless transmission offering three driving modes:

Automotive: direct engine response to driver input
EcoSmart: optimised fuel consumption
Creeper: independent engine and travel speed control

These improvements result in fuel savings of up to 30 per cent over its predecessor.

The redesigned hydraulic system now delivers 80 litres/min at 210 bar via a gear pump. Flow-sharing hydraulic distributors enable simultaneous control of up to three boom operations. The boom itself benefits from electro-proportional control and a 155° tilting angle for easier unloading of bulk materials.

A spacious cab with market-leading ergonomics features a 5-inch colour display for real-time monitoring, and the joystick includes a customer-requested reverse switch for safer, hands-on-wheel operation. Additional safety features include a stability indicator, emergency stop button, and limited-slip axles with oil-immersed brakes.

With its blend of power, manoeuvrability, and intelligent control systems, the FS6.26 reinforces Faresin’s commitment to delivering reliable and user-friendly equipment for diverse applications.
