A telescopic handler, also called a lull or a reach forklift, is a piece of equipment widely used in the construction industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a boom, making it more like a crane than a forklift, with the expanded versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend forward and upward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a muck grab.

In construction, the most common attachment for a zoom boom is pallet forks and the most common application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a standard forklift. For example, reach forklifts have the capability to move palletized material from within a trailer and to place that cargo on to rooftops and other high places. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient in a construction zone.

In agriculture the most common attachment for a zoom boom is a bucket grab, again the most widely used application is to transport from and to unreachable for a ‘conventional machine’ which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, telehandlers have the ability to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar.
