Telehandlers

A telehandler, short for “telescopic handler”, is also commonly referred to as a reach forklift, zoom-boom, or boom forklift. Telehandlers are versatile machines commonly used in construction, agriculture, and industry. They are equipped with a telescopic boom that extends up and out and are particularly useful for tasks such as loading and unloading trucks, stacking pallets, and lifting materials to elevated work areas not easily accessible by other machines. They also accommodate a variety of attachments such as forks, buckets, or platforms. Telehandlers come in a range of sizes and lifting capacities, with larger models capable of lifting several metric tons to heights of over 20 meters (65 feet) or more. Safety features such as stabilizers, outriggers, and load management systems are standard on telehandlers to ensure safe operation.
