A telescopic handler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment widely used in the construction industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, making it more like a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can reach upward and forward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a muck grab. In industry, 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, zoom booms have the capability to remove palletized material from within a trailer and to place that cargo on to rooftops and other high places. The latter application would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient in a construction zone. In agriculture the most common attachment for a lull is a bucket, again the most widely used 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, reach forklifts have the ability to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
