A telescopic handler, also known as a lull or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment often used in the construction industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom, making it more a crane than a forklift, with the expanded versatility of a single telescopic boom that can reach forward and upward from the machine. 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 widely used application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a standard forklift. For instance, zoom booms have the capability to remove palletized cargo from within a container and to place that product on to rooftops and other elevated locations. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient in a construction zone. In agriculture the most widely used attachment for a telehandler is a bucket, and the most common application is to move loads from and to unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, zoom booms are able to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
