A telehandler, also called a teleporter or a zoom boom, is a piece of equipment 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 reach upward and forward 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 teleporter is pallet forks and the most widely used application is to move loads from and to places unattainable for a conventional forklift. For instance, telehandlers have the ability to move palletized material from within a container and to place that cargo 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 agriculture the most common attachment for a teleporter is a bucket, and the most common application is to transport to and from places unobtainable for a 'conventional machine' which in this case is a wheeled loader or backhoe loader. For instance, zoom booms 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
