A telehandler, also called a teleporter or a reach forklift, is a machine widely used in the agriculture industry. It is somewhat like a forklift but has a boom, making it more a crane than a forklift, with the expanded versatility of a single telescopic boom that can reach forward and upward from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a winch. In industry, the most widely used attachment for a reach forklift is pallet forks and the most common application is to move material to and from places unattainable for a standard forklift. For example, reach forklifts have the ability to move palletized cargo from within a container 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 agriculture the most widely used attachment for a teleporter is a bucket, 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 instance, reach forklifts are able to reach directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a loading ramp, or something similar
