A telehandler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment commonly used in the construction industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom, making it more like a crane than a forklift, with the expanded versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend 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 reach forklift is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move material to and from locations unreachable for a standard forklift. For instance, reach forklifts have the ability to remove palletized material from within a container and to place that material on to rooftops and other elevated places. The latter use would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient on a job site. In the agricultural industry the most common attachment for a zoom boom is a bucket, again the most widely used application is to move loads to and from places unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, telehandlers are able to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
