In the competitive worlds of construction and agriculture here in the Pacific Northwest, every investment has to count. When you’re buying heavy equipment, you need power, reliability, and versatility. But all too often, the machine you’re quoted is a stripped-down base model, and the features that actually make your job easier are expensive, add-on upgrades.
What if you could get a fully-loaded telehandler for a better price than the competition's basic model?
At Vancouver Machinery, we’re proud to serve our community in Southwest Washington with the Ranger TH3020 Telehandler. This machine isn’t just another piece of equipment; it’s a smarter business investment. The TH3020 is engineered to deliver premium features as standard, providing unbeatable value that other brands simply can't touch.
The Problem with "Standard" Equipment
For too long, the industry has played a game of upgrades. Need an enclosed cab to work through a rainy Clark County winter? That's an extra charge. Want a hydraulic quick-attach system to save your crew precious time? That’ll be another line on the invoice. Enhanced lighting for those early morning starts? You guessed it—that’s an upgrade, too.
These costs quickly inflate the final price, turning a supposedly "affordable" machine into a major capital expense. The Ranger TH3020 completely changes that equation.
The Ranger Difference: Premium Comes Standard
We believe the tools that boost your productivity, safety, and comfort shouldn't be optional. That's why the Ranger TH3020 comes packed with features right from the factory.
When you invest in a TH3020, you get:
A Fully Enclosed, Climate-Controlled Cab:Â Operator comfort is essential for a productive workday. With standard heating and air conditioning, your team stays focused and efficient, from damp, chilly PNW mornings to the summer heat on a job site.
Hydraulic Quick-Attach System: Stop wasting time and energy manually changing attachments. The TH3020’s standard hydraulic system lets you switch from forks to a bucket in moments, keeping your project moving forward.
Advanced Ergonomic Joystick Controls: Precision and control are everything. The TH3020’s intuitive joystick reduces operator fatigue and increases accuracy for delicate tasks.
Comprehensive LED Lighting Package:Â Safely extend your workday with a full suite of bright, durable LED lights for maximum visibility.
Rear-View Safety Camera:Â Enhance job site awareness and protect your crew. This critical safety feature is included standard.
How the TH3020 Stacks Up in the Portland-Vancouver Metro
Let's put this in perspective. When you compare the Ranger TH3020 to similarly sized models from brands like Bobcat, JCB, or SkyTrak, the value proposition is undeniable.
Feature | Ranger TH3020 | Typical Competitor Model |
Enclosed Cab w/ AC & Heat | Standard | Optional Add-on |
Hydraulic Quick-Attach | Standard | Optional Add-on / Upgrade Cost |
Full LED Lighting Package | Standard | Base lighting, upgrade required |
Rear-View Camera | Standard | Optional Add-on |
Final Price | Significantly Lower | Higher After Adding Features |
The takeaway is clear: with the Ranger TH3020, you get a premium, fully-equipped machine for a price that is often less than the competitor's base model after you add the features you actually need.
