A telehandler, also known as a lull or a zoom boom, is a machine commonly used in the construction industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can reach upward and forward from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a winch. In industry, the most common 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 conventional forklift. For instance, reach forklifts have the capability to remove palletized product from within a trailer and to place that cargo on to rooftops and other elevated places. The latter use would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient on a work site. In the agricultural industry the most common attachment for a telehandler is a bucket grab, again the most widely used application is to move loads from and to unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, zoom booms 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
