The telehandler is a construction vehicle which is designed to lift heavy weights and materials. It is basically considered to be a hybrid of the crane and the forklift in terms of its capabilities and size. The boom is the most prominent feature on a telehandler. It could be equipped with a variety of attachments in order to allow it to perform different other tasks.
By using the correct lifting angle and extension an operator can be safe whilst doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight. It is vital to keep in mind that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machine could tip over dangerously because of the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler looks more like a crane, though it has features of a crane and a forklift. The huge extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane because it is able to reach up to high places. Because it is able to easily lift heavy things or equipment, the telehandler also performs like a lift truck. In addition, the arm looks like the end of a lift truck.
