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 telescopic cylinder, making it more 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 winch. In industry, the most widely used attachment for a reach forklift is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move material from and to locations unattainable for a standard forklift. For example, lulls have the ability to move palletized cargo from within a container and to place that cargo on to rooftops and other elevated locations. 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 reach forklift is a bucket, again the most common 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, 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
