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 places unattainable for a conventional forklift. For example, lulls have the ability to remove palletized product from within a container and to place that material on to rooftops and other elevated places.

In agriculture the most widely used attachment for a teleporter is a bucket, and the most widely used application is to move loads to and from places unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, telehandlers are able to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
