A telescopic handler, also known as a lull or a zoom boom, is a machine widely used in the agriculture 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 extend forward and upward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a winch. In industry, the most common attachment for a teleporter 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 ability to move palletized product from within a trailer and to place that material on to rooftops and other high locations. The latter use would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient on a job site. In agriculture the most widely used attachment for a zoom boom is a bucket, and the most common application is to move loads to and from places unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, lulls have the ability to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
