A telescopic handler, also called a lull or a reach forklift, is a piece of equipment 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 increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can reach upward and forward from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as a bucket or a winch.
In construction, the most common attachment for a lull is pallet forks and the most common application is to move material to and from locations unreachable for a standard forklift. For example, zoom booms have the ability to remove palletized product from within a trailer and to place that product 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 widely used attachment for a zoom boom is a bucket, again the most widely used application is to move loads from and to unreachable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, zoom booms are able to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
