The telehandler is a construction vehicle which is engineered to lift heavy weights and materials. It is basically considered to be a hybrid of the forklift and the crane in terms of its size and capabilities. The boom is the telehandler's most prominent feature. It can be equipped with various types of attachments so as to allow it to carry out different other jobs.
By utilizing the correct lifting angle and extension an operator could be safe whilst doubling or even tripling a telehandler's maximum lifting weight. It is very essential to bear in mind that if the arm is accidentally used wrong, the machine can tip over dangerously due to the lifting weight being drastically cut.
In its visual manner, the telehandler looks more like a crane, although it has features of a crane and a forklift. The large extending boom arm makes it more similar to a crane since it is able to reach up to high places. As it can easily lift equipment or heavy things, the telehandler also resembles a forklift. Also, the arm looks similar to the end of a forklift.
