A telehandler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment often used in the agriculture 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 vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a muck grab. In industry, the most widely used attachment for a reach forklift is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move loads to and from places unattainable for a standard forklift. For example, reach forklifts have the capability to move palletized cargo from within a container and to place that material on to rooftops and other high places. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient on a work site. In the agricultural industry the most widely used attachment for a telehandler is a bucket grab, and the most common application is to transport from and to unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, telehandlers have the ability to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
