A telehandler, also known as a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a machine commonly 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 extend upward and forward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a muck grab. In construction, the most common attachment for a teleporter is pallet forks and the most common application is to move loads to and from places unreachable for a standard forklift. For example, teleporters have the capability to remove palletized product from within a box truck and to place that cargo on to rooftops and other elevated 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 telehandler is a bucket grab, again the most widely used application is to transport from and to unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which is typically is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, lulls are able to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
