The Dieci Samson 70.10 telehandler combines the muscle of a crane with the mobility and versatility of a telehandler.
On Australian construction sites, delays caused by crane hire, traffic management, or site restrictions can quickly eat into project timelines.
Forklifts and smaller telehandlers often fall short when heavy lifts and long reach are required. This is where the Dieci Samson 70.10 telehandler comes to the fore.
With a 7000kg maximum lift capacity and a 9.65m maximum lift height, the Samson 70.10 is engineered for sustained productivity on mid-rise residential, commercial, civil, and industrial projects.
Powered by a 93kW (125hp) FPT diesel engine, it delivers the strength and agility needed to keep material cycles moving efficiently.

Replacing crane lifts and reducing downtime
Instead of waiting on crane scheduling or permits, contractors can rely on the Samson 70.10 to lift heavy palletised materials, precast panels, structural members, and plant components directly to upper floors, rooftops, or over obstacles.
As Dieci Australia National Sales Manager Bob Mules explains, this ability to handle crane-level lifts without the associated mobilisation costs makes it particularly valuable on suburban and regional projects, where access and permits can slow down progress.
“By moving, positioning, and placing loads in a single operation, the Samson 70.10 also reduces handovers between machines — cutting bottlenecks during concrete pours, façade installation, and roofing works,” he said.
“Users have found its outstanding power and agility makes it particularly suitable for heavy and intensive work in the construction and industrial sectors.”
Built for Australian conditions
The Samson 70.10 is engineered to keep working where other machines struggle.
“On rough, restricted, or cluttered worksites, the Samson 70.10 proves its worth. With four-wheel drive as well as 4-wheel, 2-wheel, and crab-steering modes; it can tackle these challenging conditions with ease,” Bob said.
This adaptability ensures contractors can keep projects moving, whether in dense urban builds or remote regional locations.
Safety and comfort as standard
Operator safety and comfort are central to the Samson’s design.
The ROPS–FOPS approved cab is fitted with both heating and air conditioning which creates a secure and comfortable working environment.
Large curved windows provide 360-degree visibility, while features such as a deadman sensor and operator presence seat sensor prevent accidental operation.
The spacious cab is designed for long shifts, with an air suspension seat, adjustable steering column, and intuitive controls.
A single 4-in-1 joystick integrates hydraulic functions with forward/reverse selection, giving operators smooth, proportional boom control for precise load placement.
Technology that delivers productivity
The Samson’s advanced telescopic boom is built from high-resistance steel and incorporates load-sensing, flow-sharing hydraulics for efficient simultaneous movements.
A patented compensation cylinder balances boom loads, while a load limiter device continuously monitors stability in real time to ensure operator safety.
“The single joystick hydraulic control, integrating forward/reverse selection makes boom operation intuitive, efficient, and remarkably smooth”, Bob said.
Additional operator-focused features include:
- 134° fork swivel angle for effortless unloading at height
- Side-shift carriage for tight repositioning and stacking
- Inching pedal to slow travel speed while maintaining maximum boom power for delicate operations
- Hydrostatic transmission with two-speed gearbox for the right balance of torque and travel speed across varied site conditions
One machine, many roles
Fitted with forks, buckets, rotators, or jibs; the Samson 70.10 transforms into a multi-functional machine.
This reduces fleet complexity, cuts idle equipment, and gives contractors the flexibility to complete multiple tasks with one machine.
Technology. Reliability. Durability.
The Samson 70.10 reflects Dieci Australia’s commitment to engineering for local conditions. With a strong focus on durability, operator comfort, and straightforward maintenance, it is built to withstand the rigours of high-demand environments, from construction zones to mine sites.
“Combining the manoeuvrability of a forklift with the strength of a crane, the Samson 70.10 stands out as a versatile, cost-effective solution for heavy material handling,” Bob said.
“From mine sites to industrial or construction zones, its exceptional agility and proven durability make it a dependable partner in high-stress, high-throughput environments.”
The bottom line
For projects where 7000kg of lift capacity, 9.65m of lift height, and a 93kW engine can make the difference between delays and productivity, the Dieci Samson 70.10 telehandler is more than just a piece of equipment, it’s a productivity partner.
