A telehandler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a machine often used in the construction industry. It is similar to 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 reach 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 common attachment for a zoom boom is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a conventional forklift. For instance, lulls have the capability to remove palletized cargo from within a trailer and to place that cargo 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 grab, and the most common application is to transport to and from places unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, 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
