Telehandlers, also known as telescopic handlers or teleporters, are versatile machines that combine the features of a forklift and a crane. Their defining characteristic is a telescopic boom that can extend upwards and forward, allowing them to lift and place materials at significant heights and distances.

Function: Telehandlers are used to lift, move, and position materials in various industries. Their telescopic boom provides greater reach and lifting height than standard forklifts, making them suitable for:

    * Lifting pallets of materials to elevated platforms or roofs.

    * Loading and unloading trucks.

    * Handling materials on construction sites.

    * Moving bales of hay or other agricultural products.

Attachments: Telehandlers can be fitted with a variety of attachments to handle different tasks:

    * Pallet forks: For lifting palletized goods.

    * Buckets: For moving loose materials.

    * Grapples: For handling logs or other bulky items.

    * Work platforms: For lifting personnel to work at height.

Mobility: Telehandlers are typically equipped with four-wheel drive and all-wheel steering, providing good maneuverability on rough terrain.
