A telehandler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a machine widely used in the construction industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, making it more 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 a bucket or a muck grab.
In construction, the most widely used attachment for a telehandler is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move material to and from places unattainable for a conventional forklift. For instance, zoom booms have the ability to move palletized product from within a box truck 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 job site.
In agriculture the most widely used attachment for a telehandler is a bucket grab, again the most common application is to move loads from and to unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, teleporters are able to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
