Telehandlers are large scale construction vehicles designed to lift heavy weights and supplies. These are considered basically a forklift and crane hybrid when it comes to its capabilities and size. The boom is the telehandler's most prominent feature. It can be equipped with a range of attachments in order to allow it to carry out different other tasks.
By using the right lifting angle and extension an operator could remain safe whilst doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight. It is important to keep in mind that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machine could dangerously tip over because of the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler looks more like a crane, though it has traits of a forklift and a crane. The huge extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane because it can reach up to high locations. Since it is able to easily raise heavy items or tools, the telehandler also performs like a lift truck. Moreover, the arm looks similar to the end of a lift truck.
