A telescopic handler (otherwise known as a telehandler) is similar in some ways to both a forklift and a crane. It is a helpful equipment designed together with a telescopic boom that could extend forwards and lift upwards. A variety of attachments could be connected on the end of the boom, like bucket, pallet forks, muck grab or lift table. It is popular in industry and agriculture settings.

Telehandlers are most usually utilized together with the fork attachment to be able to transport loads. The units have the advantage that they could get to places inaccessible to standard forklifts. Telehandlers could remove loads that are palletized from within a trailer and putting them on high places like rooftops. For some applications, they could be much more efficient and practical compared to a crane.

While lifting loads that are heavy, the telehandler may experience some instability. When the boom is extended very far with a load, the machinery would become more unstable. Counterweights in the rear help, but don't solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases as the working radius increases. Several equipment come along with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity while the machinery is stationary.
