A telehandler, also called a lull or a reach forklift, is a machine commonly used in the agriculture industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, 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 vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a winch. In industry, the most common attachment for a telehandler is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move loads from and to locations unattainable for a conventional forklift. For example, teleporters have the capability to move palletized product from within a container and to place that product 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, and the most widely used application is to transport to and from places unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, reach forklifts are able to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
