A telescopic handler, also called a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a machine widely 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 forward and upward from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a winch. In construction, the most widely used attachment for a teleporter is pallet forks and the most common application is to move material from and to locations unattainable for a standard forklift. For example, telehandlers have the capability to remove palletized cargo from within a container and to place that material on to rooftops and other high 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 zoom boom is a bucket grab, and the most common application is to move loads from and to unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, teleporters 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
