A telescopic handler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment commonly used in the construction industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a boom, making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can reach forward and upward from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a muck grab. In construction, the most common attachment for a reach forklift is pallet forks and the most common application is to move loads from and to locations unreachable for a standard forklift. For instance, telehandlers have the capability to move palletized material from within a container 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 in a construction zone. In the agricultural industry the most widely used attachment for a reach forklift is a bucket, again the most widely used application is to transport to and from places unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, lulls have the ability to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
