The telehandler or also known as a telescopic handler is similar in various ways to a common forklift or a crane. This versatile machinery is constructed together with a telescopic boom that could lift upwards and extend forward. Various attachments can be connected on the end of the boom, like pallet forks, bucket, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.

Telehandlers are most commonly utilized along with the fork attachment to be able to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they can get to places not accessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers can remove palletized loads from within a trailer and putting them on high places like for example rooftops. For certain applications, they can be much more efficient and practical than a crane.

While lifting heavy loads, the telehandler can experience some instability. When the boom is extended very far with a load, the machine will become more unsteady. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases when the working radius increases. Some machines come with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity whilst the machinery is stationary.
