A telescopic handler, also called a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment often 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 extend upward and forward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a winch. In construction, the most common attachment for a zoom boom is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move material to and from places unattainable for a conventional forklift. For example, lulls have the ability to move palletized product from within a box truck and to place that material on to rooftops and other elevated places. The latter application 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 telehandler 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 example, reach forklifts have the ability to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
