The telehandler or telescopic handler is similar in various ways to a common forklift or a crane. This helpful machine is made together with a telescopic boom which can extend forward and lift upwards. Various attachments can be connected on the end of the boom, like for example pallet forks, bucket, lift table or muck grab. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.

Telehandlers are most commonly used together with the fork attachment to be able to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they can reach places not accessible to regular forklifts. Telehandlers can remove loads which are palletized from inside a trailer and putting them on places that are high like for example rooftops. For some applications, they could be a lot more practical and efficient compared to a crane.

The disadvantage of the telehandler is its unsteadiness when lifting heavier loads. When the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes more and more unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but don't solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases when the working radius increases. Some machines come with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity whilst the machinery is stationary.
