A telehandler, also called a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a machine often used in the construction industry. It is similar to 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 extend upward and forward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a muck grab. In construction, the most widely used attachment for a teleporter is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move loads from and to locations unreachable for a conventional forklift. For example, teleporters have the ability to remove palletized material from within a trailer and to place that material on to rooftops and other high locations. 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 common attachment for a reach forklift is a bucket grab, and the most widely used application is to move loads from and to unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, reach forklifts have the ability to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
