The telehandler or telescopic handler is similar in various ways to a common forklift or a crane. This versatile machine is constructed with a telescopic boom which can lift upwards and extend forward. A variety of attachments could be connected on the end of the boom, like for instance bucket, pallet forks, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in industry and agriculture settings.

Telehandlers are most normally utilized with the fork attachment in order to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they can get to places not accessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers are capable of removing palletized loads from within a trailer and placing them on high places like for instance rooftops. For some applications, they can be much more efficient and practical compared to a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its instability when lifting heavier loads. When the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes more and more unsteady. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases when the working radius increases. Some machines come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity when the equipment is stationary.
