A telehandler, also known as a lull or a reach forklift, is a piece of equipment widely used in the construction industry. It is similar to a forklift but has a telescopic cylinder, making it more a crane than a forklift, with the increased versatility of a single telescopic boom that can extend forward and upward from the machine. The boom can be fitted with different attachments, such as pallet forks or a muck grab.
In industry, the most widely used attachment for a zoom boom is pallet forks and the most common application is to move material from and to places unattainable for a standard forklift. For example, reach forklifts have the ability to move palletized product from within a trailer 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 on a work site.
In agriculture the most common attachment for a lull is a bucket grab, 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 example, lulls are able to extend directly into a high-sided trailer or hopper. The latter application would otherwise require a conveyor, or something similar
