A telehandler, also called a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment commonly used in the agriculture industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, making it more like 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 muck grab. In industry, the most widely used attachment for a reach forklift is pallet forks and the most common application is to move material from and to locations unreachable for a conventional forklift. For instance, teleporters have the capability to remove palletized product from within a trailer and to place that product on to rooftops and other elevated places. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient in a construction zone. In agriculture the most common attachment for a zoom boom is a bucket, and the most common application is to transport from and to unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, teleporters have the ability to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
