The telehandler or also known as a telescopic handler is similar in numerous ways to a crane and a common forklift. This useful machine is made with a telescopic boom that can extend forward and lift upwards. A variety of attachments could be fitted on the end of the boom, such as bucket, pallet forks, lift table or muck grab. It is popular in agriculture and industry settings.
The telehandler is a common used with fork attachments to be able to allow the transporting of loads. Telehandlers have the advantage of being able to reach those inaccessible places that can't be reached by a common forklift. Telehandlers can remove loads that are palletized from inside a trailer and putting them on high places like rooftops. For some applications, they can be more practical and efficient than a crane.
The disadvantage of the telehandler is its unsteadiness when lifting loads that are heavier. When the boom extends with a load, the unit becomes more and more unsteady. Counterweights in the rear help, but do not solve the problem. When the working radius increases, the lifting capacity quickly decreases. Some machinery come together with front outriggers which extend the lifting capacity when the equipment is stationary.
