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

The telehandler is a common used with fork attachments to enable the transporting of loads. Telehandlers have the advantage of being able to reach those inaccessible places which cannot be reached by a common forklift. Telehandlers can remove loads that are palletized from inside a trailer and placing them on high places such as rooftops. For some applications, they can be more efficient and practical than a crane.

While lifting loads which are heavy, the telehandler can experience some instability. As the boom is extended very far with a load, the equipment will become more unstable. Counterweights situated at the back help, but do not solve the problem. The lifting capacity quickly decreases as the working radius increases. Several machinery come along with front outriggers that extend the lifting capacity while the equipment is stationary.
