A telescopic handler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment often used in the construction industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, 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 a bucket or a muck grab. In industry, the most common attachment for a teleporter is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move material from and to locations unattainable for a standard forklift. For instance, teleporters have the capability to remove palletized product from within a trailer and to place that cargo on to rooftops and other high locations. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient on a job site. In the agricultural industry the most common attachment for a teleporter is a bucket grab, again the most common application is to transport to and from places unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, telehandlers are able to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
