A telehandler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment commonly 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 reach upward and forward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a winch. In industry, the most widely used attachment for a teleporter is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move material to and from locations unreachable for a conventional forklift. For example, lulls have the capability to move palletized material 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 job site. In the agricultural industry the most widely used attachment for a telehandler is a bucket, again the most widely used application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, 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
