The telehandler or also known as a telescopic handler is similar in many ways to a crane and a common forklift. This helpful machine is constructed with a telescopic boom which could lift upwards and extend forward. Various attachments could be connected on the end of the boom, like bucket, pallet forks, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.

Telehandlers are most normally utilized with the fork attachment to be able to shuttle loads. The units have the advantage that they can get to places inaccessible to standard forklifts. Telehandlers are capable of removing loads that are palletized from within a trailer and placing them on high places such as rooftops. For certain applications, they can be more practical and efficient compared to a crane.

While lifting heavy loads, the telehandler may experience some instability. As the boom is extended very far with a load, the machine will become more unsteady. Counterweights located at the back help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity rapidly decreases as the working radius increases. Several machines come with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity whilst the machine is stationary.
