A telehandler, also called a lull or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment widely 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 extend forward and upward from the vehicle. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a winch.
In industry, the most widely used attachment for a lull is pallet forks and the most common application is to move material to and from places unattainable for a conventional forklift. For instance, reach forklifts have the ability to move palletized cargo from within a box truck and to place that product on to rooftops and other high places. The latter use would otherwise require a crane, which is not always practical or time-efficient in a construction zone.
In the agricultural industry the most widely used attachment for a reach forklift is a bucket grab, again the most widely used application is to transport from and to unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For example, lulls 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
